Special Events Update!!!

On October 30th, two specialty classes will be held. From 4:00-5:00, a jumprope class will take place for 7-11 years old and will be taught by Bryce and Sarah Parker. This class will give students new tricks and fancy steps to use while jumping rope. They will also learn to team jump with a single rope. The ropes will be provided that evening. From 5:30-7:00, we will be holding a costume party for 3-7 years old. Wear your favorite costume and enjoy games, races, snacks, prizes and treat bags. If you are interested in either of these sessions, please sign up and pay in advance so we have an idea how many to expect. The cost is $10.00 per student. 

A New Idea

An idea has been brought to my attention that we may need to hold a once a month partnering class for teens. They would be learning such styles as swing dance, two step, waltz, and line dances to some of our more modern music. The cost would be $8.00 per student and held on Thursday evenings from 7:30-8:30. If this interests you, please let us know and we will set it up. 

AutumnFest News

On October 10th, some of our groups will be performing at the Autumnfest on the square. The show will be at the gazebo from 12:30-1:00. Come and see us perform some new dances, as well as the remake of "Thriller". Dance Unlimited will also be fundraising with a bounce house from Mm. Grove rentals. The proceeds for the bounce house will also go towards the St. Louis trip.

October Update

Things are going well at the dance studio this fall, but I have been really busy getting everyone in the class that is right for them. We have planned for a very busy October as well. Dance Unlimited t-shirts are now on sale at the studio for the cost of $12.00 for children sizes and $14.00 for adult sizes. Sample sizes are hanging up at the studio. (child 2-4, 6-8, 10-12, 14-16--adult S, M, L, XL) The proceeds of the t-shirt sale will go towards some of our dancers who will be traveling to St. Louis in December for a dance convention. Please place your order and pay with a separate check before October 14th, and the shirts should arrive in about two weeks. This would make a great Birthday or Christmas present and to help our dancers as well. 

New Class!!! And the First One's FREE!

Have you ever wanted to trip the light fantastic? Ever dreamed of being Fred Astaire? Dance Unlimited is offering a Social Dance class beginning September 2. The class will run from 7:45-8:45 PM. If you're interested, but a little shy, then let us sweeten the deal--your first session is free! Don't miss out on this great opportunity for fun and exercise. Join us on September 2.

We're Back!!!

That's right!
Registration for 2009-10 will be August 3-6, from 4:00-7:00 pm.

Hope you had a great summer. See you the first week of August.

Update: The fees due at registration are a $15 registration fee plus the first 1/2 month's tuition. Now would also be the best time to order new shoes if you've outgrown or worn out your last pair.

Dates to Remember

• Classes on Memorial Day (May 25th) WILL be in session.
• Contact the dance studio to pick up a form to pre-order a concert DVD or VHS. The videos are professionally produced by Somewhereinthewoods Productions. They record both performances and compile them into one to ensure that we receive a quality video. There are DVD samples in the dance studio to see the good job they have done in the past. Videos are $25.00 if you pre-order and $30.00 if ordered after June 5. The videos are great keepsakes for students. Parents tell us that the videos are well worth the money.
• You should receive picture orders by the last week of dance classes.
• Dress rehearsal is scheduled for Friday, June 5th from 5:00-8:00 P.M. All students are asked to attend. The Finale, including all students, will be rehearsed from 6:00-7:00 P.M. The dress rehearsal is for students and volunteers ONLY. NO AUDIENCE PLEASE! Please drop off and pick up your children at the appropriate times (see below).
• A volunteer list is at the dance studio. If you want to volunteer, contact the dance studio and ask what positions are available. All volunteers recieve two free tickets for one performance and work the other backstage. Please decide which performance you will attend. Volunteers must arrive 30 minutes prior to the performance. Lineup coordinators, the announcer, and curtain and backstage crew need to attend the dress rehearsal.
