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.
