To: IGNITE! Dancers & Parents
As a reminder, dance classes will begin next week, October 17 & 18! I hope your children are excited and ready for another fun and exciting dance season!
Important Reminders & Notes
- Students should wait patiently in the school hallway until the door to the stage is opened and it is time for their class.
- Parents, guardians and siblings who wish to remain on-site may wait quietly in the hallway or cafeteria while their dancer is in class. Children should not run or play unsupervised in the school.
- Parking is available in the front circle drive and the west parking lot. Please only park in valid parking spots and do not block the reserved spaces for buses, etc.
- Classes will be held at your regular class times the week of Halloween. Dancers may wear their Halloween costumes to class that week.
- New for 2011 - Students who practice their routines at home each week will be rewarded with a small treat at the end of the session. Additional information and a practice grid will be sent home with students next week to help them keep track of their practices. Please help your child set aside time to practice at home.
2011-2012 Schedule See below for a summary of the IGNITE! schedule for 2011-2012. Please note that some dates are still tentative and subject to change. Due to the date of recital, a two-week pre-recital mini-session has been added to the schedule after our 2nd 8-week session to help students prepare for our final performance. Tuition for the pre-recital mini-session will be $16.25 for 30-minute classes and $19.50 for 1-hour classes, which was prorated at the regular 8-week session rates. As a reminder, session tuition is due the first week of each session.
