🎃 Dress-Up Week

Dancers may wear costumes or festive accessories to class this week — just make sure they’re comfortable and won’t interfere with dancing.

There will be no classes Friday so everyone can enjoy Halloween festivities! 🎃👻

💳 November Payments

ovember tuition fees have been posted in Ellever and can be paid now directly through your account.

Manual payment is not required, as Ellever will still automatically draft payments as usual.
However, unlike DSP, you now have the option to log in and pay early — and the system will automatically check before the scheduled draft to ensure it doesn’t process a second time.

Please also make sure your Ellever payment information is up to date to avoid any issues.

🩰 ASH Convention — This Weekend!

It’s almost time for ASH Orlando!
Please make sure you’ve completed all required waivers, double-checked your packing list and costumes, and plan to arrive early for check-in and class start times.

Be sure to join the “Convention Attendees” group in your Esprit App — this is where all official ASH updates and instructions will be posted.
👉 Please remember this group is for studio communication only — not for general parent chatter or side discussions.

Let’s represent Esprit with professionalism, teamwork, and positive energy! 💜

🚫 Competition & Convention Communication Policy

A gentle but important reminder:
Parents should not contact convention or competition staff directly.

All registrations, questions, and special requests must go through the studio so we can maintain organized communication and represent the studio professionally.
Thank you for respecting this policy — it ensures everything runs smoothly for everyone involved.

📋 November Rehearsal Schedule & Casting Updates

✨ Casting & Rehearsal Updates
Please remember that casting is fluid and will change as we go throughout the season. Dancers should check casting updates often and be ready for adjustments. Trust the process when it comes to casting, training, and rehearsal placements, and keep a positive mindset. Every class and rehearsal matters for your growth—treat each one as an important part of your training. Let’s continue building a supportive and uplifting environment for everyone!

Rehearsals

Rehearsal schedule is out! You can see it on your app under Team>Month Overview or under Parent Portal>More>Studio Calendar (click through week/day/month views to see all dates for the month.

At this point all rehearsals are in the calendar and set, so please be sure you know what routines you need to be present for!

This week:

Prep for ASH

Solos

Reminder for Soloists
Solo sessions are scheduled based on teacher availability, so you may not always have a teacher-led session each week. On weeks without a teacher, you are encouraged to reserve studio space and practice what you know so far. This way, you’ll be ready to move on when you meet with your teacher again.

Studio space can be reserved through the Parent Portal > More > Private Lessons. There is no charge to team members for using studio space, but it must be reserved in advance so we can be sure the studio is open for you.

We also recommend teaming up with other dancers—bring a couple of friends to practice together! It’s a great way to feed off each other’s energy and take turns working through choreography.
