FALL SEASON 2025
Fall Season 2025 PREREGISTRATION is now open for CURRENT STUDIO dancers only. Register now and reserve your spot for August before we open it up to the public!
Please always let us know ahead of time if/when AND WHY your dancer will be missing their classes.
** Reminder for those hoping to join our teams at any point: attendance and communication are some of the KEY factors we are already looking out for from our dance families. Failure to meet these expectations (even at the recreational level) can impact your opportunities to be invited to team in the future.
Team
PICTURE DAY TOMORROW! for ELITE/COMPETITION TEAM.
Petites Pictures Friday 9th, Performance Pictures Monday May 19th!
NO PRE-PLANNED EXTRA REHEARSALS for MAY. Keep prior engagements updated, especially for elites.
Annual Team Banquet
We’re working on setting the date for our team banquet! Please email/text any prior engagements for the month of June NOW to help facilitate that! We plan to hold the banquet in the weeks between June 15 and Nationals.
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
Competition/Elite Team Recital Photos (INCLUDING FIRE & ICE) will be TUESDAY MAY 6! Petite team will be on May 9 with Friday recreational classes. Performance team date will be set soon, but those who are in Fire & Ice will need to be there on May 6.
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 2 if you haven’t done so already!
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.
