Christmas Performances
The holidays are coming!! And each class is working on a Christmas dance to show you their last week of classes before our holiday break. We are so excited to see the dancers learning so much and developing their talent for the Lord. Please mark your calendar to bring your camera and video cam. (You can take all the pictures you want!!) We will be having a Christmas party after each In-Studio Performance.
The first half of each class will be review and warm up, and the second half parents and friends will be invited in for the performance and party! (Party Sign up sheets will be posted November 1st.)
Dates for the performances are:
Thursday, December 10 - Wednesday, December 16th.
Please have your child wear their class leotard, clean tights, and neatly secured hair for the performance.

Changing classes in 2010 ?
Let us know if you are interested in dropping, adding or changing classes in January. Otherwise, you will continue in the same classes as planned through May. We are in the process of analyzing our schedule to see if we need to make any changes/additions. We are limited to what we can add/change due to our limited studio time. I am willing to listen to any suggestions to improve your experience here! New registration begins this month. If you have friends who want to join us in January, this is the time for them to reserve their spot. SPACE IS LIMITED! Please speak to Tonya or send me or Tonya a note through the payments box of any changes/suggestions! - Julie
God bless you during this Thanksgiving season. Consider making EVERYDAY a thanksgiving day to our Lord. Be thankful and praiseful for the little blessings as well as the big ones. God loves a grateful and cheerful heart! Happy Thanksgiving from your staff!
