HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
FEBRUARY
SCHEDULE
We follow the Massena Central School
Calendar. There will be no classes
Monday, February 15 through Saturday, February 22 because of mid-winter recess.
RECITAL INFORMATION
The recital is scheduled for the weekend of June 12 at
Massena Central High School. If
all goes well with the schedule, we will rehearse during the week before and
have the recital on Saturday, the 12th. However, it could end up being Sunday, June 13th. Either way, save that weekend! More details will be available as we
get closer.
COSTUME BILLS
Thank you to everyone who paid their costume bill on time. If you still haven’t paid your bill,
you will have to pay a larger shipping fee and must contact the studio for an
updated total. Costumes that have not been paid have
not been ordered. Costumes
not ordered by mid February may not arrive in time for the recital.

Please try to conduct all studio business during these times. If you need assistance during
non-business hours, please call the studio at 769-2878 and I will get back to
you as soon as possible.
TUITION
Tuition is due with the first class of each
month. Any tuition, which remains
unpaid by the second class will be, assessed a 10 % late fee. This late fee is computed automatically
and will remain on your bill until it is paid.
STUDIO CANCELLATIONS
As outlined in the studio policies and procedures, we DO NOT automatically
close when school is cancelled because of weather. More often than not, the conditions are improved by class
time and there would be no reason to cancel. If you are not sure about class, please call 769-2878. I will make every attempt to call you
when it becomes necessary to cancel.
DANCEWEAR
Dancewear is required. That means a leotard and tights, dance
pants, or bike shorts and tights (sweats are OK). You cannot move in jeans or jean type slacks. Bare legs are not appropriate. Hair MUST be tied back. Short hair should be pulled off the
face. Ballet classes require a
leotard and tights. You may add a
skirt or snug fitting shirt.
If your pants hit the floor, THEY ARE TOO LONG.
Do not park in the traffic circle. There is parking along the white fence. The circle is designed only for dropping
off or picking up. If you escort
your child into the studio, you MUST park along the fence and walk in. THIS HAS BECOME A MAJOR SEFETY CONCERN
and an annoyance for those of you who have so willingly cooperated. If you leave your car unattended in the
circle, no one can get past you and cars are forced to back up to get out. This is not a safe situation. There are NO exceptions to this. There is NO reason to park in the
circle and it’s only a few extra feet from the fence. DO NOT PARK IN THE CIRCLE. DO NOT PARK IN THE CIRCLE. DO NOT PARK IN THE CIRCLE.
SOLO – DUETS - TRIOS
We will be offering a limited number of solo, duo, trios this
year. Because of the tight
schedule, there are only 10 slots available. Classes will begin sometime this month or next month. Prices are as follows:
Solos $150
per dancer Duet/Trio $100 per dancer
There will be 10 classes.
Each class is 45 minutes long.
The first 15 minutes of your class is independent stretch, the last half
hour will be choreography.
Classes must be paid in advance in
full. If you can not attend a scheduled class, you must give your
instructor 24 hours notice and make arrangements to reschedule, or that class
will be forfeited.
You may choose the style of dance you wish to do. The studio will assign the music and
the instructor.
Dancers, before you sign up for
these classes, you must obtain your parents permission. All accounts must be paid up to date.
