January & February Newsletter, 2010
Dear Students & Parents;
The staff at Miss Tanya’s School of Dance would
like to welcome everyone back to the start of a FUN and EXCITING 2010 dance
season. We hope that everyone had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy and Safe New
Year!!!
We are rapidly approaching the time of the year
when we begin thinking and preparing for our annual dance recital The recital
will be held at Fitchburg High School on Friday, June 18th and Saturday, June
19th 2010. This year there will be THREE shows (Friday evening at 7:00pm,
Saturday at 1:00pm and 5:00pm. Pre-School ages 4&5 and Mom & Me classes will be
in ONE performance on Saturday and all other classes (Intro Ballet/Jazz and any
class ages 6+ will be in TWO performances. Intermediate/Advanced students and
competition team members may be in all three shows. Mandatory Dress rehearsal
will be on Wednesday, June 16th 2010. We will do our best to schedule siblings
and students that are in two classes in at least one show together, so that
family members may attend, but they may be in different shows for their second
performance. If a student is in more than three classes, they may be in all
three shows.
Ticket prices will be given at a later date.
Special ticket pricing will be available for parents of students that are in
multiple shows. Unlike other studio in the area, where the students must stay
backstage during the performance, we allow them to sit in the audience with
their families at no charge and enjoy the show. Students may only attend the
show/shows that they are in or if they have a Sibling in a performance other
than their own. Students that are 4yrs old and younger must sit on a parents lap
during the performance. If students would like to attend a performance to see
other family members (not siblings) or friends, they must purchase a ticket. A
schedule of the show format and show times will be given out at a later date.
Our costumes will range in price, between $58.00 to $68.00 depending on the
style of costume ordered. Invoices for the recital costume balances will be
given in mid February and also a poster with pictures of recital costumes will
be posted in the wait area in mid February. Tickets will go on sale in May. Last
year both shows were sold out. Tickets are sold on a first come first serve
basics with general seating. We will have a handicap section in the front of the
auditorium. This year we are not limiting the amount of tickets you can
purchase, but we do ask that if your child/children are in multiple shows that
you do not buy all of the tickets for just one show, but instead you buy some
for both performances, as this will help to balance the amount of tickets
available for each performance.
Miss Tanya’s School of Dance instructors will
begin teaching recital routines the last week of February. All class ATTENDENCE
will be MANDATORY and students may not miss more than three classes from the
last week of February to the recital date to participate in the recital. If a
student misses more than three classes, a meeting will be set up to discuss
recital participation. After the third week in the month of February, students
will not be allowed to make-up missed classes, due to the fact that each class
will learn a different routine for the recital and the student would not know
the dance if they go into a class other than their own. If classes are cancelled
due to weather, a make-up class will be scheduled on a Saturday or Sunday.
Reminder, the observation window will only be open the last 15 minutes of class
during the last class of the month. We will be open for class on Martin Luther
King JR. Day, Monday, January 18th 2010. Tuition is due on or before the 15th of
the month. If paid after the 15th a $10.00 fee will be added.
Just a reminder, please call the studio one hour
before your scheduled class, listen to WEIM 1280 AM or check the web-site for
class cancellations. We will be closed for the February vacation from the 15th
to the 20th, re-opening on Monday, February 22nd 2010.
