IMPORTANT NEWS -

Thank you to all of you that have supported the studio and myself over
The last 19 years.

IMPORTANT NEWS

Thank you to all of you that have supported the studio and myself
Over the las 19 years.

This has been a journey I will never forget and I have memories to last a lifetime.

For those of you who have been with me from the beginning, dance families and staff,
I could not have done this without you. Thank you for making this such an amazing adventure.

However, this will be my last year as director of Simply Dance.
After the spring recital Kelley Alvarez will step in and assume ownership, all
roles and responsibilities.

I feel that Kelley has all the qualities to run this business.
The dancers are her priority, She is a very strong business woman,
She cares deeply about the business and wants to keep the family atmosphere.

Following this announcement, feel free to ask Kelley or I any questions, as we want this to be a smooth transition.

I will continue to teach, but it's time for me to slow down.
I look forward to working with Kelley and I wish her great success.

This is definitely not goodbye, just a new chapter in my life. Always remember, "Dance will set your spirit free".

With Love,
Miss Helene

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
