Team
Annual Team Banquet
We’re working on setting the date for our team banquet! We do have a TENTATIVE date set, but will be sending out RSVP requests soon so we can get an accurate head-count. Keep an eye on your texts/app notifications/etc for that to be coming soon!
Dreaming and Scheming
Let us know your plans for next season! We’re hoping to start planning early for next year, so check your emails for your invite to complete the survey. If you don’t see it, please feel free to click the link below. This survey will help us understand what next year’s team will look like and is your chance to share your hopes and dreams for the season. Please provide detailed and honest answers based on your dancer’s abilities and your family’s financial and time constraints. Remember, nothing is set in stone at this point, so don’t feel pressured to commit to anything with your answers!
Summer Plans
The ENTIRE studio will take off the week after recital, and then we will begin our summer class schedule. Elites, the week of June 9-16 would be the perfect time for any planned vacations before nationals rehearsals begin!
Summer Classes/ Camps General summer class schedule is up! Comp/Elite does NOT need to enroll in anything at the moment as your general SUMMER PASS is included, but please share the schedule with any friends/family hoping to join the studio at any level. ELITE dancers are automatically enrolled in the summer classes and camps, and we’d like everyone to be involved in the camps in some way.
SOUND OF MUSIC will be our summer musical. We’ll do a shorter version of the camp, just two weeks in July. We need to get the dates set so email or text us your prior engagements for July NOW!
Performance Team, go ahead and enroll! We’ll be sure to put you into the correct level so feel free to register for whichever. Petite and younger performance should definitely register for the 4-6 classes and if any will need moved we’ll let you know.
Picture Days
Performance Team Pictures will be Monday May 19! Be sure you have ALL your required shoes and tights, and we will be giving you your final costumes either before or at pictures.
Solos
Remember, those with solos should be coming up on their days/times off to use the studio and practice on their own whenever possible. Studio space is available any time classes aren’t happening. Reserve in the system so we know you’re planning to come up.
BE SURE TO REGISTER FOR SHOWSTOPPER NATIONALS if you’d like to attend! Remember, you do NOT have to be on Elite team to perform your solo at Nationals.
Payments
Parents, as we near the end of the season, we’re updating the payment plans, particularly for our Recreational, Petite/Performance, and Competition Teams. Some accounts may have lower balances, and payments have been adjusted accordingly. Others may be behind on their payments, and we’ll contact them to catch up on past-due amounts. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about your accounts or balances or are planning to make manual payments.
