Dance Classes 2013-14

Dance will be starting the beginning of September.  I will not be teaching in my basement this year.  It will only affect a few people negatively-but for the majority it should be a positive change.  Classses will now be held on the 2nd floor of the old High Altitude building in Eden behind the Junior High/Car wash.  Of course, because I now have rent "bills to pay" there will be an increase in tuition and a monthly payment deadline.  I am hopefully still keeping things affordable for everyone compared to other studios.   I am ALL willing to work with those that need a little financial slack.  The added income is very beneficial to our family-BUT it is not the sole purpose for me teaching dance.  I think every child should have the opportunity to dance if they want to.  Don't hesitate to talk with me about it if that is a concern.  I, more than anyone, am most grateful for a dance teacher that did the same for me.

Registration Fee is $30- Non-Refundable.  $20 of that is a Pre-payment for Costumes, so that I can start ordering things in advance.  The $20 will be deducted from the total costume amount at the end of the dance year.  Recital will either be end of April or end of May.  The school is not letting anyone use their gym in May any more because of conflicts with all the other year end school events that are
happening-so unless I find another venue for the Recital-it will be the end of April.


 Hour long classes will be $30 per month.  You can take additional classes for an additional $20( $10 off) The two hour Comp class and Level 4 class will be $50 per month.  I will make additional classes if there is enough interest and works for my family schedule.  There are reasons I am doing the classes the way I am doing them-Hopefully you can find something that will work for your child. I am willing to advance a child out of their age group if they are more advanced and not picky about having peers in their class. There is a little more option to do more than one hour of dance per week-Example-I can sign up my 7 yr old for Level 2 on Wed and Hip Hop Beg on Thurs. Or I could sign up my 9 yr old for Comp on Wed and because she is more experienced, Hip Hop Int on Thursdays.  Hope this makes sense :)  I have had interest in an adult(Mommy's Class) Class for those who have always wanted to dance but never had the opportunity or those who want to put their already dance skills into action.  I may do a class if I have enough interest and it would be done either Wed or Thurs afternoon.

I will have a registration date set for some time within the next week or two- and for those interested in Comp class a "tryout" date.  I will upload a new post for those who are interested in the Comp class of things they should be practicing beforehand.  I will leave a more detailed account on the classes through the blog.  You will ,in a way, be "pre-registering" your child for those classes when you leave a comment with your child's basic info for each class.  I will post those hopefully by tomorrow. 

4th of July Pics

 Here are some pics from the 4th of July Parade in Huntsville this year.  The girls did Great and looked so cute even with their flushed pink cheeks :)  I don't have many pics-sorry-but from my past history I did pretty good just taking some pictures.  If any of you ever have any pics you  would like to share from Dance-Email them to me and I would be happy to post them for everybody.
