This week two pieces of paperwork went home / are coming home with our older students: Friday Optional Class info, and the Finale Schedule for our color classes.

Dancers’ picture day schedules and ordering envelopes are coming home this week. Guidelines for Picture Day are below.

All finale dancers need to have their performance earrings (mentioned on the costume info sheet) before picture day. If your dancer does not already have these, please stop in before picture day. We have posts and clip-ons.

As a reminder, we are on holiday break from Monday, December 22 through Friday, January 2. Classes resume on Monday, January 5.

Costumes are coming home this month! Costumes may come home at any class over the next three weeks. When you receive your dancer’s costumes, please use the checklist to ensure you have everything. Your dancer’s costumes will only come home once all payments are up to date; this includes, but is not limited to, tuition, costumes, and applicable late fees.

As a reminder, Dance Workshop is on holiday break for two weeks at the end of the year: December 22 through January 2. Information about Picture Day (Jan 16, 17, 18) may come home before, during, or after the break depending on when we get the paperwork from our photographers.

Promotions and holiday hours at Kingdom Dance Shoppe are happening now.

Color Classes: Because we have a long holiday break again this year, we will have another Holiday Dance Challenge! That challenge will come home before the break and will also be posted on our Drive.

Looking Ahead to Summer:

Halloween is next week, and that means it’s time to dress up for dance class! Students are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes to class the week of 10/27. Old recital costumes are great, too! (Please have your dancer wear a leotard and tights under their costume as a back up.)

If your dancer dances twice a week, we will wear costumes on day two (Red & Silver: Tuesday / Yellow & Teal: Thursday).

Friday Class Reminder: There is no Acro or Hiphop on Halloween night. We will have our last two Friday classes on the first and second Friday of November.
