SEPTEMBER REMINDERS

(I send out reminders at the beginning of each month.  They are also posted on our website, on our bulletin board, and on Facebook!)

Welcome!! Dance begins the week of August 31st!   

1. If you haven’t already done so for 2020-21, please login and register for classes! We will be sending home waivers the 1^st week of classes. There is a different one for gymnastics and dance, so if you are in both, you will need to fill out both. Please bring those back the following week!

• 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!

• Please wear your masks at all times in the building. Dancers, Gymnasts, and teachers do not need to wear their masks during classes. In between classes and any time you leave the class room (unless breathing heavy from class) masks need to be worn again.

• VIEWING week will be a little different this year. Because of social distancing, we are not able to fit all parents in the studio at the same time. For Dance Classes – viewing week for last names starting A-L will be August 31^st through September 4^th.  Viewing week for last names start M-Z will be September 14^th through September 18^th.   For Tumbling and Gymnastics classes – viewing will unfortunately have to be put on hold until further notice. We apologize greatly!

• NO CLASS – We will be closed September 7^th for Labor Day.

• Our first Fundraiser will start September 8^th! You can fundraise to make money for costumes or tuition! More information on that next week!

• As of now, we are unsure of how the end of the year will look. I don’t have a recital date set yet but as soon as I know we will for sure have one, and I can set it with the schools, I will let everyone know!

We can’t wait to see you.  Let me know if you have any questions. 

We LOVE teaching your children!  

Our open house for 2020-21 will be August 23rd! From 12 PM to 3 PM. 

* Come register for classes!

* Meet the instructors!

* Work the gymnastics instructor to find the right class for you!

* Get all attire needed for your classes! 

* And ask any questions you might have!!

         *Bring your masks and remember social distancing! Thanks!!* 

We look forward to the new year!! WE LOVE TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN!

• We are on our last month for Summer classes. All Summer classes end August 20^th.
• Fall classes begin August 31^st!

• Summer Recital for Dancers, Gymnasts, and Tumblers!
  • Our recital is scheduled for August 21^st!
    • We usually do a potluck with our summer recital to make it a little more fun and different. This year, however, we will NOT be doing the potluck.
  • Starts at 6:00 pm
  • At Gibson Park on the stage!
  • May want to bring Chairs.

• T-Shirts!
  • Every summer we do T-shirts for our recital instead of costumes. They are $12.00.
  • These are not automatically billed. Please let an instructor know you’d like a T-shirt, and then they can either take payment or send an invoice.

• Tuition is due the first lesson of each month.

Summer classes will start July 13th! July will be 1/2 tuition!

If you haven’t gotten pictures yet and you still want them, Our photographer will be here Thursday, June 18th from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm to finish up pictures!!! After that, you will have to make special arrangements to get pictures done. After the 30th of June, pictures will be closed so we can create the group photo! 

If you haven’t yet, be sure to text Live2dance2020 to 90738 to get updates on when your photos are ready to view, along with how to purchase them! 

***Also for non-returning students!***

Hi Parents!! 

Just a reminder we are back open today! Classes remain fall schedule for Dancers (recital plan in progress) and Summer Schedule for Gymnasts and Tumblers!

I understand some of you may not want to come back to classes yet or are unable to for other reasons, and that is completely understandable. You are more than welcome to come get your costumes and leotards that were bought. They are yours!! The studio will be open from 1 pm to 9 pm Monday through Thursday for June. I can’t wait to hopefully see you all again in the future! 

Pictures!!! — We were unable to do pictures as planned but I still want to give everyone that option since we do have all our costumes! With that said, pictures will be a little different this year. We can only do pictures one person at a time. For the group pictures we are going to photo shop everyone into one large studio collage photo! You will then be able to go online and order whatever pictures you want instead of pre-ordering!  By doing Pictures this way, all the kids who can’t come back to classes can still also be in the group photo and have the option to still have individual photos!   We will be doing photos all of next week (June 8th through 11th) from 10 am to 1 pm each day. This way you can come whenever works best for you! If these times still don’t work, just let me know and we will schedule any day or time that works for you to get everyone is this photo! This is for Dancers, Tumblers, and Gymnasts who were part of classes at any time through the Fall season! 

Please let me know if you have any questions. thanks!

• Please send your dancers and gymnasts with water bottles so that we can avoid using the drinking fountain for now!

There was a glitch in our system and invoices got sent. Please disregard those invoices. Sorry!!

Hi parents,

Gov. Bullock has issued a phased reopening of Montana! We unfortunately cannot open during phase 1. When phase 2 has been initiated, we will be reopening right away!

We would like to continue all dance classes as they were before we had to close. We would like to continue that schedule for at least a month to get ready for recital!! We may have to go longer depending on dates I can get for recital, also keeping in mind that we cannot do our recital until phase 3! Picture day will also be scheduled after we reopen, based on when all our costumes finally come in (some were delayed because of the shutdown). Summer dance classes will be put on hold until we can officially finish our fall season! We do not want all our dancer’s hard work to go to waste, or for the parent’s efforts in this season to go to waste either, so we will be having our recital to finish off our season! Thank you all for your understanding in this difficult time!

Tumbling and Gymnastic classes will change to summer schedule on June 8^th. If we open before that date, our fall schedule will continue as normal! You can find our summer schedule on our website (live2dancestudio.com). We ask that you do register for the summer classes so that we have an idea of how many kids will be stopping for the summer or continuing to take classes through the summer! There will be no registration fee for continuing students.

We can’t wait to see all of our students again!! We are impatiently awaiting the day we see phase 2 can begin!

Thanks to all our amazing students and their parents for working with us and understanding during this time! We love teaching your children!

Hoping everyone is healthy,

Miss Nicole and Miss Jessica
