March 2012 News

First off, I just wanted to thank you all for your love and support last week after losing my sweet Grandma. Especially thank you to Lexi, Oakley, and Kelli for taking over the dance classes last week. They are amazing girls! I really appreciate all they do!

****Ok next…competition is almost here!

I just got an email of the updated schedule. Like I said, I never know these things in advance, they can change on a dime. All of my dancers will be dancing on Friday March 23, last year they started at 3pm, but this year because of the large amount of entries they are now starting at 12pm- Noon. Ahhh. So those of you leaving on Friday will have to leave early, thanks for being good sports. I wish I had control over times, but I don’t. I will not know a detailed time schedule until the week before when the competition lets me know.

Also, we will not be having class on Thursday March 22 to accommodate those who want to leave on Thursday to St. George, so the Thursday classes will be having a make up class on Wednesday March 21. Same times as regular classes, just on Wednesday.

I will be updating my blog a lot before competition so keep checking it for updates.

I hope you have all paid online for competition, I hope you still can. They will not let any of my dancers perform unless everyone has paid. It is pretty easy to register, if you forgot go to my blog and it walks you through. DO IT FAST because they will not accept payment past a certain time.

On March 20, and 21 I would like the dancers to wear costumes to class. Check the blog for updates on hair and makeup as well.

*There will be no class for competition dancers March 26 through 30.

The Concert is scheduled for April 24. J

Discount dance supply

I have teamed up with discountdance.com for shoes and tights and any other dance items you need. There are no close places purchase dance shoes, so I hope this is a better option for you.

You just go to discount dance.com and click on Teacher program. Enter my name Tera Thorne and I have some items marked that work for shoes and tights. All classes need foot undies. Your first order you receive 10% off. I will not be ordering tights with any costumes this year, if you want your child to wear tights under there costume I have picked out some affordable ones. Remember we can not use footed tights because we wear foot undies:) So you need footless or convertible .

The code for the discount is TP49419

We never know what day we will be competing on, so plan on both days. In the last few years it has been Friday, but as soon as I say that they will say Saturday, I will know the final schedule the week beforeJ

Welcome Back!

Welcome back my sweet dancers! I hope you had an amazing Christmas and Happy New Year and now it’s SPRING! Let’s hope this sunny weather lasts, I love it!

January is a full 4 week month so full tuition will be due.

For those of you that are in a team class and you want to sign up for solos we will have sign ups next week.

The cost for a solo is $100, that includes 4 private lessons and your cut music. (This does not include your costume) We will start solos the first week in February.

Remember for those of you on a competition team, our St. George competition is scheduled on March 23 & 24. Please let me know by the first of February if you are NOT attending so we can make formation changes.
