SEPTEMBER REMINDERS

(I send out reminders at the beginning of each month.  The notices are also on our website live2dancestudio.com, Facebook, and on the studio bulletin board)

Classes start September 10^th!!!

**Please register online at live2dancestudio.com. before class begins if you haven’t already and still intend to!  It is important to sign and read the policies, so your child can participate in class. Be sure the school year reads 2018-19. A hard copy of policies and procedures and waiver will go home with every child the first week of class and will need to be turned in the 2^nd week of class (unless already filled out from summer).

Our new location is 1108 9^th Street South. It is in the same parking lot as Wheat Montana. We are through the center doors of the long building with several other businesses on either side.

The first week of classes will be viewing days! Parents can stay and watch! We ask that no one under 18 stay however. If you want, you can split the class time with another mother and swap tending in the waiting room. We will have a Viewing Week every 3 months. All other classes are closed practices.

We will be selling shoes and other dancewear and gymnastics wear the first week of classes! After that we will have to make arrangements outside of class to get shoes and dancewear/gymnastics wear.

Don’t forget to wear leotards and have hair up and out of the face! Please no jewelry. Check out our website or feel free to ask about any other questions concerning what to wear! For the first week of classes, while waiting for your dancewear to come in, please wear clothes that allow movement.

Gymnasts and Tumblers need bare feet for class. Dancers need the proper shoes for each type of class (barefoot or socks is ok for the first week of classes).

September tuition is due the first week of classes, if not set up for recurring payments! Payments can be made by card, cash, or check. If paying by card, please log in to your account and click Make Payment on the left or make arrangements to pay outside of class. We do not have a card reader yet and don’t want to be taking up class time to type in card information. We hope to have a reader soon!

Recurring Payments go through on the 3^rd of every month. Payments will go through on the 9^th for September only. Please log in to your account and make sure your credit card information is up to date by clicking Setup Auto Pay on the left. You can sign up for recurring payments the same way!
