Reminders....Costumes....and Competition Classes SAVE THE DATE!

All Classes are cancelled for tomorrow. Regarding DancElect and DancElite make-up class, from those that responded on which day worked best, next Friday the 13th (uh-oh sounds like bad luck, better not jinx myself ;) won. So, next Thursday will be regular scheduled practice, and then next-day, Friday, make up day. It is an early out day for the elementary so DancElect will meet at 1:45pm-3:45pm and Dance Elite 2:45pm-5:45pm. I have purchased some costumes already, and have other costumes picked out to order. I will be measuring next week to get sizes. I usually don't have parents pay costume fees until May, but I acrue interest on those purchases I have made throughout the year and believe it or not, I have people that don't pay at all and I end up eating that cost-So....I am suggesting to parents, it would be better to add at least an extra $10-$20 onto monthly tuition-then when I figure final costume cost/payment, it won't be as big of a burden. Competition Classes first competition is Dance Fest Utah in Logan, April 15th and 16th @ USU campus. That will involve DancExcel, DancElect, and DancElite. DancElect and DancElite will be doing a 2nd Competition with Aspire Dance Pro, and because the WSU comp is the weekend of our Spring Break, we will either do the Cottonwood(6th-7th) or Taylorsville(13th-14th) Comp in May- SO SAVE THE DATE AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!!!!! Note that competitions usually have solos/duets etc on the Friday and Team comp on the Saturday. If there is conflict I need to know ASAP!!! So, costume/shoe fees, March competition fees, will be due probably in January. Each comp class is performing 3 different routines, therefore, 3 different costumes. Each costume average at least $30- that should give you a ball park to plan around. Just giving you a heads up so you can plan accordingly. All other classes, I will be asking for costume payment BEFORE recital-and this year you will not receive costumes unless paid for beforehand. I know this may sound excess to some of you, but if you asked other parents whose kids are dancing in other studios, you will find pretty easily that they are paying closer to $75-$100 per costume....:/ K...That is it for now-I am seeing some good progress is technique in my dancers-hope they are having fun! thank you!
