Next year

To my wonderful dancers-

My husband just got his updated travel plans for the upcoming year and it is crazy! Because of this I will not be able to teach dance this year.

Last year I had my oldest son to help with driving my other 2 kids to events while I taught dance.  He will be off to college and not able to help me. I also lost 2 of my teachers to college and it would be overwhelming  to try to balance all of my classes, and being a mom.

I have always believed it was more important to put my family first, so I hope you understand why I have to cut back on teaching.

These are a few of the studios that are close by that I think have good programs-

*Synergy Dance Company-( this is where my daughter tumbles )and I am highly impressed with the program! Dancewithsynergy.com

*ADA-  Very focused on competitions. If you just want to take a technique class, I wouldn’t, Their time and dedication goes into the competition teams.

*UDA -Very strong ballet base, great for those needing help on technique

*Tiffany’s- I have seen improvement over the years with this company, they lack a little in technique, but performance quality has improved over the years.

* JL Soresenson- has some boys hip hop and break dance classes. They also have youth classes.

You will always be Vizion dancers in my heart! Once I see what my schedule is like I might be able to do a few solo classes.  I am always here to give you advice on studios and any dance questions you have!

I just want you to know how much I have loved being your teacher and watching you grow as dancers! I will continue to watch you on your journey! Keep me posted on all of the events in your life!

I will  offer technique workshops and solos throughout the year, I will keep you posted. Also, Oakley might be able to also offer private lessons. I will let you know.

Thanks again for understanding!

KEEP DANCING!

Love,

Tera

CONCERT TIME!!

What a crazy fun year this has been, and not to mention it has FLOWN by! The Concert is Tuesday April 24, at the Riverton Community Center @ 6:30pm. 12830 South 1700 West. Dancers need to arrive by 6:00pm I will have the 3 and 4 year olds run there dance once on the stage at 6:05pm. Parents just keep the dancers with you until 2 songs before they perform. All dancers need to stay in the audience until two songs before. It is so distracting when you are performing to hear dancers backstage. So PLEASE keep dancers with you. Competition girls can wear their hair and makeup like they did for Dixie Jam. 3 and 4 year olds can wear their hair any way, just so it is not in their face. I have loved dancing with every single one of these dancers! What a great year! This will be a blast!

Please remember that a $10 recital fee is due with each student. This covers the building rental, prize for dancer, and programs Please get that to me this week. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! J

I will not be adding any new classes next year. So it will almost be mission impossible to get new students in, I am so sorry for those of you who wanted friends to join. However, I will be keeping all current classes exactly as they are. You will all have your spots unless you tell me otherwise. I have waiting lists for all classes as of right now. So I will just need to know by August if you are leaving so I can fill those spots.

I will be doing a few summer technique workshops, so keep checking. Also, I will continue with my Zumba classes all through the summer. This is a great way to keep your endurance up in the off months. Zumba is only $10 a month and you can come up to 4 times a week! This is great for the older girls,(and mom’s) and I might do one zumbatomic class for the younger ones, just to keep them active! So check my blog for times. My blog will also keep you posted on when we will start in the Fall.

Thank you again , and I can’t wait for all of these dancers to SHINE, SHINE, SHINE at our Concert! Wooo Hoooooo! No classes held the week of the Concert. See you there!

Concert April 24 6:30pm @ the Riverton community Center

Next week we will have a mini dress rehearsal for the 3 and 4-year-old classes. So have your little one wear there costumes. You can do their hair any way you want…just so it is not in their face. The last 5 minutes of class I will pull the parents in front to be the audience for them. Remember the concert is Tues April 24 @ 6:30 at the Riverton Community CenterJ Check blog for any updates viziondance.blogspot.com

All of my teams are back to back so stay and cheer for the other classes. I will give you your medals after the last team has danced:)

We are judged on a point system at this competition-Each routine is based off 30 points

to get 1st place you need to score 29.1 or higher

2nd place is 27-28.69

3rd is 27-28.69

Below 3rd you get a Excellent rating and participation award.

You are all going to be AMAZING! Have fun and let's go do this!! WOOO HOOO!!!

Driving directions- Hair and make-up

Ok Guys! This is it!! WOOOHOOO

First off let me just tell you how proud I am of each one of you! I have the best dancers in the WORLD!!

All of my dancers are scheduled to dance pretty close together so make sure and yell and scream for our fellow teams! It makes it so fun when you have peeps cheering for you! I will hand out all team medals and trophies @3:30pm in Exhibit Hall A in the backJ If you are a solo or duet- pick up your trophy right after you dance.

I want this to be a positive experience for all dancers, it is so fun to get up on stage and dance your heart out. Dance as we know is a very SUBJECTIVE sport. You are all champions in my eyes no matter what place you take. I never cease to be amazed at how some dances are scored, ones that I think will take first sometimes don’t. Ones I think will not take first sometimes do. You never know!! All I care about is that you have the time of your life performing! They usually post scores about an hour to 2 hours after we dance. I will post all results Friday night on my blogJ

We ordered good weather and WE GOT IT! So I hope this is a time you can spend enjoying the sunshine and having a fun filled week end! All of your hard work has paid off, so SMILE & ENJOY!!

I really enjoy this competition because there is no entrance fee for spectators! YAY!! There is no other competition that offers this, and I really appreciate families being able to watch there children without having to pay $5 a head . Hallelujah! So invite anyone you want to watch, it is FREE !!!

Drive safe. I will be leaving Thursday. My cell is 801-604-0629
