Dance families -
Rehearsal last night was great!
Thank you to all the dancers for working so hard, the teachers for all their time
And hard work, the families for all their
Support.
What a wonderful group.
I am so proud of everyone!

One note if you would pass along
There will be some folding chairs
I would tell your guests to bring
A cushion for your chair.
It will be a lot more comfortable.

Thank you all!

Welcome Back!!!!

So glad to have everyone back on the dance floor!

We have been in class for two weeks, thank you for your patience

While we get everyone in the right classes. 

It is so important to us that everyone gets the best 

Learning experience.

IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID FOR SEPTEMBER TUITION OR HAVE A PAST DUE BALANCE 

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT AWAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Important News 

**We no longer have the water cooler.

We have a refrigerated water fountain in the smaller studio.

Feel free to bring your own water bottle.

We will also sell cold water bottles for your convenience.

**We will be participating in the relay for life again this year.

The theme is the Wizard of Oz!! 

The meeting will be held September 22 at the studio at 730.

We will need adult Chaperones you can sign up at that time.

**We will be offering a new combo class on Monday at 5:30

For 4-5 year olds since the other two 4-5 year old classes 

Are so full let us know if you are interested. 

This class will start sometime in October.

**Our rule on parents watching the combo classes -

If it is your little dancers first time at the studio you may watch 

That first class. After that we ask that you watch through 

The door that has windows in it... The little ones are less distracted 

When mom and dad are not in the room. This is much easier for the teacher 

To keep your little dancers attention.

Thank you so much!!!!

**We will be having a student choreography show in February... All student choreography

Very casual, the cost of admission will be donation.

We will include all the young combo dancers that are interested.

Advanced dancers please let Me know if you are interested,

If you are interested and you are not an advanced dancer just let me know.

I will let you know dates for Nutcracker very soon.

Spring show will be in June :) 

Hope you are all well and enjoying the beginning of another year!

Happy Dancing,

Miss Helene

    Snow White

    2016

Snow White

    The Dwarfs

Doc

Self proclaimed leader of the group, Doc often looses his train of thought and bumbles around, looking over the dwarfs.

Happy

Fat and jolly with a friendly personality, Happy maintains laughter and joy amongst the dwarfs.

Sneezy

A bad case of hay fever causes Sneezy to sneeze violently and frequently but he doesn't let that stop him from having fun.

Bashful

Being around Snow White increases bashful's tendency to bury his head but she doesn't mind.

Dopey

Although Dopey may annoy Doc & Grumpy, his intentions are silly and he is often the core of the dwarfs jokes.

Sleepy

While always eager to fall asleep, Sleepy is considered the most observant amongst the dwarfs.

Grumpy

Grumpy tends to be irritated with the other dwarfs antics and opposes allowing Snow White to stay with them.

The Queen Little Snow White

The Prince Mother and Father

The Huntsman Wedding Party

Animals that help Snow White ~

Bunnies

Deer

Squirrel

Blue Birds (bigger part)

Racoon

Quail ***Could be less…some could be classes***

**Might add parts, if so will be on the list at auditions.
