Live 2 Dance Studio

VISITING is March 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th.  VIEWING LESSONS ARE FOR ADULTS ONLY.  This will be enforced.  Please respect the adults who have made arrangements for their younger children.  If you want, you can split the class time with another mother and swap tending in the waiting room.

*DANCERS – Recital Fee of $40/family is due April 1st.

DANCERS – OTHER ACTIVITIES:  Baseball, Soccer, Music, etc.  For those dancers involved in other activities, we know it gets busy this time of the year!  You have worked very hard for this recital.  You owe it to your classmates and to yourself to finish.  Please be at class.  The last few classes are very important.  Finishing touches will be applied to the dance and minor changes will be made!  Make-up dance lessons are very hard to get at the end of our season, but they are available. If you have to miss class, please set up a makeup class to get caught up!

TUMBLERS – Pictures: we do take pictures for our tumbling and gymnastics class also! We have a set leotard for each level. If you have one from last year, you can use it again. If you need a new one, just let your teacher know and we can get one ordered for $30.

PICTURES: April 24th is Picture day! We will be taking individual and group pictures this year! You will be able to order pictures starting next month (watch for an email with instructions). If you do not want to order pictures, we’d like you to still be in the group picture for our wall at the studio!

WE love teaching your children!!

*Our last fundraiser, Cookie dough, is due Friday, January 29^th. If you want this fundraiser’s credit to go towards costume, please turn it in before the 29^th, or let me know not to auto charge your costume fee (if set up for auto pay).

• Dancewear, gymnastics wear, and shoes will be sold the first week of classes during classes! After that, you’ll need to make arrangements outside of class.

**Remember to ALWAYS wear a leotard to class. No leo – no participation! Come to class with your hair up and out of your face. Don’t forget to use the restroom before class!
