Credit/Debit Cards are accepted and Monthly draft ALSO available

As most of you know, we are able to accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit and debit cards. We are now offering a service where we can charge your card monthly on a payment schedule so that you do not have to remember to come in a pay. A Tuition Draft Consent Form is available in the office. If you would like for us to automatically charge your card for tuition each month, please come in a fill out the form. Your card information will be stored under lock and key, and only our office manager will have access to it, so you do not need to worry about that. We will also offer to charge for costume fees if you would like. Monthly tuition charges will be charged between the first and fifth of each month. Costume fees will be charged on the date they are due. You may also pay through PayPal, through our website: www.steps-of-faith.com. See Ms. Tonya for more information.

Dress Code is for everyone

A reminder to the families of our tiniest dancers at SOF: Please remember to come dressed properly for all preballet, ballet/tap, or ballet/tap/jazz classes. Skirts are allowed in these classes, unless, they become playthings (ie creative neckwear and headwear). (Ballet 1s and Ballet Preps are non-skirt classes). Also, EVERYONE, please take the time to pull back your child’s hair for class. Students need to have their faces and eyes clear to participate fully in class without distraction. All SOF teachers are more than happy to show you how to quickly and easily pull back your child’s hair. Please do not hesitate to ask! Even professional “ballerinas” take class in leotards and tights with their hair in buns! Thank you!

Welcome to FALL 09...

ANOTHER GREAT START TO A NEW YEAR...

It has been an exciting year already. We have so many new faces from all over the area, some coming from as far away as Marietta, Calhoun, Rome, and Canton to get only what you can get at SOF!! Registration is still underway and, we can take new students through Sept. 25.

Plans are underway for our Nativity Ballet in Dec. (with TWO venues this year), and the Spring Concert in May, as well as our instudio performances for Christmas. More details will be coming next month.

Please feel free to contact me (the director, Julie) anytime with any questions or concerns…

sof@bellsouth.net or call 404-316-8546. We are honored to have you all!!
