September Newsletter

Open House 8/29 + Classes Start 9/8 View in browser SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER This newsletter is landing a couple days before the start of the month because we wanted to remind you about tomorrow's Open House. We'd love to see you at the studio between 1:00 and 3:00! Classes are filling up very quickly, so please register soon if you plan to join us the week of September 8. Check out the blue box below for answers to questions you may have as you prepare for your first class. Registration is also open for our first Saturday afternoon camp of the dance year. Miss Stephanie is leading a Halloween Ballet Camp on Saturday, October 17, from 1:00-3:00. Our one-day camps are great for current students, former students, and friends who want to try dance without committing to classes. Scroll for the link to register! Even though dance classes don't start until after Labor Day, adult barre classes resume Tuesday, September 1. Barre is a dance conditioning class that incorporates yoga, Pilates and functional movement -- no dance experience necessary! Scroll for more details. Back-to-Studio FAQ’s Question: I paid my registration and recital fees when I registered. When do I pay for tuition? Answer: Invoices for first trimester tuition will be sent via email the first week of September. Tuition is due by the first class. You pay online by following the links in your email, or you may bring cash or check to the black mailbox at the bottom the stairs inside the studio. Question: When is the studio closed for holidays and breaks? Answer: Our year-long calendar is on the first page of our Studio Guide. Question: Which door do I use? Answer: Everyone should enter through the door at the top of the parking lot stairs except for Monday 4:15 Primary students and Thursday 3:30 Primary students, who enter from the 7th Avenue entrance when the teacher or assistant opens the door for them. (This will help us avoid traffic jams in the hallway! You are always welcome to wait downstairs with your child until class begins.) Question: Where do I pick up my child? Answer: Pre-Ballet students will be brought to the downstairs waiting room for dismissal. Pre-Primary and Primary dancers are escorted by the teacher to the parking lot door for dismissal. Grade One and up are allowed to leave by themselves. Question: Am I allowed to watch? Answer: Due to space constraints and the fact that some dancers are distracted and/or uncomfortable with an audience, parents are not allowed to watch class. Once during each trimester, we have a Watch Week where guests are invited to see what we’ve learned. Check the Studio Guide for dates! Otherwise, parents may leave the premises or be downstairs in our waiting room. Question: You have a waiting room? What about a dressing room? Answer: Our basement waiting room has a bathroom, as well as a dedicated changing room. Please make use of it if you have a tight turnaround after school! Question: What should my dancer wear? Answer: Our dress code is on the last page of our Studio Guide. You may purchase your dance wear anywhere you like, but we recommend our online boutique, especially for the no-tie ballet slippers! Check out the new Studio Guide! Online Boutique Support our studio by purchasing your dress code dancewear on Nimbly. You'll find the new mulberry leotards for Grades 3-5 and a money-saving bundle for Pre-Ballet, Pre-Primary and Primary dancers!
