PREMIERE STUDIO OF DANCE 2016 – 2017

FALL REGISTRATION PACKAGE

Welcome to the beginning of our 17th season of dance at Premiere! In this package you will find all you’ll need to begin the new season of dance. Attached are the schedules for both competitive and recreational classes. As well we have our calendar for the entire 2016-17 season including recital dates!

In order to make the registration process as simple as possible we ask that parents sign and fill out the attached registration form, and either write in, or highlight your selected classes for the 2016-17 season. To complete your registration, either mail, or bring your form to the studio in person to arrange payment (post dated cheque, debit, credit). We offer a variety of payment options to suit your needs.

Are you new to dance lessons? Allow us to help you select the best class for your child by speaking with one of our office staff in person or by phone. Also included is a simple ‘Guide to Recreational Dance,’ which clearly shows which classes are offered, based on children’s age and experience. Please don’t hesitate to call us at 705-741-6545 with any questions or to register.

Interested in joining our Competitive Team? This year we are pleased to announce the addition of 3 new competitive jazz groups! (ages 3-4, 5-7 and 8-11). Not sure what is involved? Dancers train a minimum of 3 classes per week,(2 classes for our 3-4 class), and as a group, perfect a routine in their chosen style of dance. The group then performs (competes), with their routine twice in Peterborough and at two ‘away’ competitions. This is a spectacular way to take your child’s dancing to the next level, meet new friends and to make lasting memories for your child! This program is open to children ages 3 and up! Please contact our office in order to set up a meeting with one of our amazing teachers to discuss your child’s options.

Finally we are pleased to announce the addition of two new classes to our schedule! We will be offering a Special Needs Dance Class for children, which will encourages inclusive movement for all! This program embraces the fact that each child is unique, and through dance, we will facilitate the learning and discovery of their strengths while engaging their imagination. These classes allow children to grow socially by interacting with other children, their instructor and teaching assistants, while also learning to express themselves in dance. Also we will be offering Semi Private Aerial Arts Classes for our advanced acro dancers and gymnasts. This class will allow dancers an opportunity to train on our own aerial hoop rig in a safe and fun environment. Class size is extremely limited (3-4 dancers), and classes will run for 12 week sessions.

FALL REGISTRATION: Priority Registration FREE Recital Video

A schedule for the 2016-17 season is included in this package. This year we will be offering a special Priority Fall Registration June 6th to 23rd for all returning students. When you pre-register for fall all you will need to hold your spot in class is a $50 deposit, and $10 for each additional class. We also ask that you have your entire year’s tuition on file (pre-authorized payment/post-dated cheque). As a special bonus the first 50registrants will receive a $20 gift card to the Dancer’s Closet! Also as part of your membership fee, all students of Premiere will receive a FREE online copy of the 2017 Recital! No need to purchase anymore, we are including it for you! Alternative registration times are included in this package, and as always, please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions you may have.
