Contracts and Reminders

We will have the Company contracts ready to sign in the next few days. Sorry for the delay.

Reminders, please rehearse your dances that you are learning on a weekly basis. We can move on so much quicker with choreography if you know the choreography that we learned the week before. Also, rule number 7 in your contracts is that you must know every detail to a dance to be able to compete it this year. This rule will be strictly enforced. It is so much easier to work on small parts every week and build rather than waiting until the entire dance is choreographed to decide it's time to learn your dance. We love you all very very much but feel that it is important and only fair to the dancers who use their proper technique and work and know their dances. Please understand the importance and try to understand why this rule is important. Parents, please feel free to video the choreography at the end of class times so that your student can rehearse during the week. Again, we love you all and this is not personal but feel that it should be the desire of everyone involved to do the best possible due to the money and time involved in competitive dance.


Please email us if you have any questions at all. Thanks to you all!

Fall Festival Week October 24 - October 28

Don't forget to wear your fall festival costumes next week! BEWARE...We will have the haunted house and the hayride! Looking forward to all the fun!

REMINDER:
Tap, Ballet and Tumbling will be cancelled (ALL STUDIO B ACTIVITIES) October 24th thru October 28th due to the haunted house!

We will be working really hard from this point forward to prepare our competition dances. Please work on using your proper technique and really stretching through your feet and keeping straight knees. Stretch as much as you can while watching television. Keep working hard! We have some really cool props and great costumes on the way!

Saturday, October 15 Rehearsals Cancelled

Let's cancel Saturday, October 15 rehearsals. Shawn is doing better this morning but she may need a couple of more days to be back to dance speed. Also I know we have several on fall break. Shawn will be in touch with some of the soloists this weekend to schedule solo rehearsals during the day time hours next week. Thanks to you all for being so understanding about her sickness for the last couple of days. Thanks for all the prayers and concerns. I am sure she will be back full speed on Monday.

Special thanks to our Seniors Kelsey, Cookie and Lauren, and our ballet teacher Miss Alex and her friend Miss Kathryn for doing such a wonderful job helping out with classes the past couple of days.

Thank the Lord for his watchful eyes over our Katie Crawford this week. Wishing her a speedy recovery. We all have so much to be thankful for everyday.

Have a wonderful, safe and healthy weekend! Love you all! --Janie

Small Group / Extra Group

We would like to try something new this year. We have so many talented students that are interested in small group that we would like to invite all B52 large group students that are interested in performing an extra dance, committing to coming on Saturdays and committing to coming to ballet on Mondays and Wednesday to email us and let us know. This will be referred to as the "B52 Extra Group". Anyone that is on the B52 Large group can participate as long as you understand your commitments. The price will be $95 per month instead of $80 per month that you pay now for the large group. We are hoping this will work for everyone interested in committing the extra time and wanting to learn as much as you can. We are extremely blessed to have so many talented students in this company this year and it is unbelievably difficult to try to select small groups so we are hoping this works for everyone interested. It may turn out to be a small group depending on the number of students really interested in this opportunity. We want everyone to be happy and definitely want to open up opportunities to all interested. email: thelegacydance@gmail.com
