spring again

I'm sure that most of you already know that our winter was marked by crazy weather.  We missed several classes, so I want to restate the studio policy regarding bad weather.

First, please pay all tuition in full, as scheduled each month.  Do this even if we have missed a class due to weather.  I keep track of all days missed for such reasons and will pro-rate your May tuition.  This is the simplest way to handle the situation.

Second, Dance Unlimited closes when the Mtn. Grove R-3 school system closes for bad weather. We do not close for any other reason, such as spring break.

Thanks for your help in these areas.  I appreciate all your dedication and hard work.

home work

If you would like a copy of your music to practice at home, please bring a cassette or blank CD to the studio and we will copy your music for you.  Please remember to either write your name on the CD or label the cassette.

partnering class

Dance Unlimited will be holding the 5th Teen Partnering Class for young adults.  It is not too late to sign up.  Styles such as waltz, two-step, swing, and group line dancing will be covered.  This is a great way to learn some new moves for the prom or your end-of-the-year school dance.  These are partner classes, but your partner does not have to be a student at the dance studio.  You must sign up in advance, but you may pay the evening of the class.  Class size will be limited and the cost is $8.00 per person.

We will have classes on February 15.

You bet we will.

production number news

I would like to invite students to sign up for the end of the year production number. We will be performing a dance called "The Cirque Montage," which will combine modern and theatre dance
movement in elaborate costumes. It will be a new experience for the students and will be explained in more detail during class time. Students should be:
1. At least 9 years old.
2. Only involved in two or less dance numbers in the concert already.
3. Ready to act out the character of the dance.
4. Available for rehearsals either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons from 3:00-4:00, or Thursdays from 7:30-8:45, and occasional Friday evenings as we get closer to the recital. Attendance is very important since the students will just have a few weeks to learn the choreography for their part.
There is no extra cost for these rehearsals and the students will be put on a schedule a few weeks in advance. Please sign up for the production number at the desk ASAP so I can start planning.
