Welcome to dance!
I hope you all had a great summer.
We are so excited to get this year started. Just a few important notes to go over, first
of all we email all newsletters and any information needing to go home. This will be the only hard copy newsletter
you receive. If you do not get this in
an email from Stacey Jacobsen please email her at jacobsen.stacey@yahoo.com and let
her know right away so you do not miss any information. With that being said I have to apologize for
any slow responses from me in emails especially over the last month. We have added a new studio in the basement
which wasn’t even a thought until the middle of July and we didn’t have a go
ahead until August so I have been so busy getting this done as well as adding a
new Marley dance floor upstairs so please forgive the chaos of the past month,
also with adding the new studio it has caused for a few class time changes
thank you for your patience with that, it is going to help us lower our class
sizes etc and will be great if you just bear with us as we get the kinks worked
out. Just a reminder of a few rules
Tuition is due at the first lesson of
the month.
Please wear the appropriate dance attire
to each class. Do not wear jeans, or pajamas
ever. Ballet classes should wear leotard
and tights, Jazz, lyrical, contemporary, musical theater and production should wear
spanks or leggings and a tight fitting tank top or t-shirt (or leotards are
always lovely). Hip hop you may want to make sure you have sweats or leggings to
put over your spanks to slide on the floor.
Preschool students wear leotards and tights and skirts are
optional. Tumbling students the little
short unitards are best, we have Tiffany dance co ones you can buy for $15 this
is what they wear when they perform as well.
For shoes all competition students will wear pirouettes. You need the capezio brand for
performances. I sell them for $25. All non-competition students need to wear
foot undeez. You will need nude when you
perform. I also sell those they are
$15. Preschool students will need white
ballet shoes when they perform and black tap shoes. Any color or brand is fine for class just
keep in mind the colors needed for performances. I can order you tap or ballet shoes but I do
not keep them on hand. I will be placing
an order next week if you would like me to get your shoes please sign up on the
shoe order posted on the door at the studio.
Hair should always be pulled up in a ponytail or bun
Only students are allowed in the studio,
we will have a parent’s observation in November where you can come and watch
the class. You are welcome to watch from
the windows as well, but having parents and extra siblings etc is always a
distraction.
Absolutely NO food or drink (except water)
is allowed in the basement studio or side B.
Please actually do not bring anything but water, if you are at dance for
multiple hours and have to have a snack please only eat them in the break room
or the wood side of the studio, I do not want food or Shoes on the Marley floor.
Please make sure you pick up your
students on time. Please talk to them
(as will I) about not climbing on the sign outside.
As you drop off your kids this first
week, it will be a little chaotic as we are dealing with new students, shoes
which room you are in etc. We will get
it all figured out so everyone knows where they should be etc this first
week.
If you are in a strictly tumbling class
please send a water bottle to class with your child.
I am finalizing the Christmas recital
date and will let you know what it is asap.
If you have any questions or concerns
please email Tiffany at tiffanydanceco06@gmail.com
Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to teach your children. I look forward to getting to know each of
them!
Competition students: There will be a parents meeting next week to
go over competition dates, TDC apparel and uniforms, make up kits and hair and what
is expected of you etc there will be 3 different times for this meeting and two
separate times for mini team. Come to
whichever time works best for you. The
times are as follows: Monday the 11th at 8pm, Thursday the 14th
at 9pm or Friday the 15th at 3:30pm.
For mini team the meeting times will be Wednesday the 13th at 2pm or
Thursday the 14th at 6pm. Sorry
for the schedule changes, I think I have tried to accommodate too many
different requests and schedules and I can’t do that, this is why my classes
are optional so you can do what does fit into your schedule. We may still have to make a change or two if
I see a class is too big or too small, please be patient with
me and know that I am just trying to do what is best for each student and that
we have to make changes if we let the classes be optional. Also if I feel a student would be better off
on a different team, I do make adjustments through September. Thank you! I am so excited for this upcoming year.
