Greetings dancers and parents!
I am so excited to be beginning my third year of dance with the community! I first want to congratulate all of the dancers on a wonderful recital and thank all of the parents, family members and friends who made it all possible.
Classes will resume on Sunday, September 13th. Please see the attached schedule for class times and policies and tuition information. Please note the dress code. For the younger classes we will no longer allow skirts (even those attached to the leotard) as they became a distraction during class time. Their dress code now calls for a non-skirted leotard, tights, and the appropriate shoes.Please no athletic wear! Skirts and other costumes may be brought from home to be used during free dance time if your dancer would like.
Open house dates this year are Tuesday August 18th and Wednesday August 19th. You will be able to meet with me, register for classes and order dance shoes and apparel for the coming dance year. If you have not received recital pictures ordered through Behl’s or your recital DVD you will be able to pick those up during the open house. I have a few extra 2015 Recital DVDs available for purchase. The cost is $22 per DVD. There are a few 2014 recital DVDs still available for $15.
I also have some exciting promotions for the open house! Anyone who attends the open house will be put into a drawing for a free month of tuition! I will also have a referral program this year. If you refer a new student, you can choose from a free pair of ballet shoes, a free leotard or $20 off any other shoe or dancewear purchase(when they pay their registration fee and first month’s tution)! All dancewear and shoes will also be 20% off during the open house!
I hope to see you at the open house! If you are unable to attend or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! You can email me at , or call me at 701-741-6300. You can also check out my website,
I hope to see you soon!
