Dance Wear INFO

As you get ready for classes this fall, I thougt I would go over dance wear needs. We have a class designated leotard system at place at SOF. Make sure you have your class designated leotard. Any style is fine. Older girls need to be aware of modesty. Nude undertards are required for all company level dancers for performances.

There is a very limited number of leotards available at the studio for sale. Call for specific info. Our leotards are only $15 while supplies last. (lots of pink leotards still available.)

Here is the list of class colors:

MomNMe: Black or pink
Preballet: Pink
Ballet/Tap: Light blue
Ballet Prep: Lavendar
Ballet/Tap/Jazz: Royal blue
Tap/Jazz: Royal blue or Black
Ballet 1 and 2: Purple
HipHop: Black
Teen ballet: Navy
Young Company, Young Apprentice: Burgandy TANK leo
Sr. Apprentice, Sr. Company: Black TANK leo

All students in ballet need canvas or leather ballet shoes (not nylon Target ones); jazz and hiphop shoes need to be black (any style); tap shoes need to be black ribbon tie for all combo tap classes... for Beg/Int and Int/Adv tap classes with Ms. Julie, please have tan character shoes. Adult tap uses black shoes. Modern classes go barefoot (or small foot thongs), and pilates students need a mat.

Fall is almost here!

It has been a fantastic summer at Steps of Faith! We have had a lot of new faces (teachers and students), and the dancers have worked really hard! Several of our ladies "went away" for summer intensives at American Ballet Theatre and at Ballet Magnificat, and we cannot wait to hear their stories as well!

Now is the time to gear up for our fall schedule that begins in only a few weeks, August 11th.

We are NOT having an open house/registration day this year. We have found most of you just want to register "whenever", so we have made online registration available! You may also pop in the studio during our limited office hours too! We already have well over 120 people signed up for the fall, and I have heard of many more of you planning to come! Please sign up now, as most classes are still available.

Tonya will be available at the office Mondays and Thursdays from 930-1pm til August 1st. And as a prep for classes beginning, she is working Tuesday, Aug. 5 from 12-7 (Open House day at the schools), Thursday, Aug. 7 from 2:30-7, and Friday, Aug 8 from 2:30-6. Regular office hours (Monday-Friday) will begin Monday Aug. 11 when classes start!

Don't forget to get your dancewear for the fall: DanceWearHouse in Acworth, Spirit Wear in Cartersville, or CenterStage II in Marietta. You can also order online at www.curtaincallforclass.com (log into our school for class info). Remember each class level has its own color leotard. Any style is fine.

Can't wait to see you all soon!!!!

Ms. Julie
