February newsletter 2012


February is already upon us! We are nearing competition time! Love how the dancers are progressing! Keep up the hard work! J
Tuition:
Tuition is due this week, no later than the 10th. Late fees of $10 per week will be added to accounts not paid by the 10th of the month. Those who are doing hip hop, the costume for that must be paid off by February 3rd. Printed statements were sent home last week. 
Registration forms: I am STILL missing registration forms. I will be sending home an envelope with a registration form if yours is still missing. PLEASE return it ASAP! The information on it is very important, and allows me to contact you in case of emergency, or to send out emails and reminders, especially now during competition time! Also, those who are doing the CREW boys hip hop, you will need to fill out a separate one. ALL new students will also have a registration form to turn in.
Team mom committee: If you are interested in being on the Team Mom committee, please contact Kate Jackson at 801-995-8081 or mjkjackson04@yahoo.com

If you would like to see them, go to www.claires.com and enter 80008 in the search. I will be placing the order Friday evening, so ALL orders must be in by then. Please include the payment with your February tuition.

Adult classes: Some of you may not be aware of some of the additional classes we offer for adults. We have 2 great classes to start the New Year…especially for those looking to get in shape for a new you! We have turbo kick on Monday’s from 8:15 – 9:15 pm. Turbo kick is a combination of intense kickboxing moves, as well as dance moves all perfectly choreographed to high energy and motivating music. It is the ultimate cardiovascular challenge that’s a unique blend of intense intervals, strength/endurance training, and a relaxing cool down. Turbo kick requires no previous kickboxing experience or equipment. (Have you seen the Turbo Fire infomercials? Turbo Fire is the home version of Turbo Kick: same ideas and moves, just done in a class setting!) Turbo Kick class is taught by certified trainers Katie Custer and Becky Flinders. We also are NOW OFFERING PiYo! PiYo is a unique class designed to build strength and gain flexibility. The moves fit perfectly together to form a class filled with intense choreography that’s fun, challenging and will make you sweat. It’s about energy, power and rhythm. Think sculpted abdominals, increased overall strength and greater flexibility and stability. PiYo is taught by certified trainer Whitney Goodwin. For the month of January you can try our new PiYo class for FREE! Both of these classes are a punch card class: $30 for 10 punches and $20 for 50 punches. Punch cards do not expire so you can use them when you can. Want more info? Feel free to contact me or the website for more info!
If you have questions, please feel free to call or email. Don’t’ forget to join our Facebook page. Many times I post things there FIRST! In case you can’t find your newsletter, I always post it on our website: www.divasdancestudio.com. Thanks!

Stars information: This section is more information for our Stars Show Team company members.

* Proper dance wear: Please remember to wear proper dance attire to class. Technique days you can wear anything, but make sure it is appropriate and they you are able to dance and move in what you are wearing. Company days, Thursday’s, you MUST wear your red top with your black shorts with zebra trim. If you DO NOT wear your practice outfit on Thursday’s you will receive a tardy for each week that you don’t wear it. If you need a new practice outfit, you can purchase one for $25. You are welcome to wear your warm-ups while you are warming up, but you will need to take them off after, so make sure you have your correct clothing on. You are welcome to wear tights as well, but it is not required. You must also have proper footwear. Socks or tights only are NOT allowed.
* Mandatory practice: We will be holding an extra practice this month. It will be held on Saturday, February 11th. Super Stars will be from 10 – 11 am and Star Burst will be from 11 am – Noon. (Small Stars do NOT need to attend.) Ashley will be coming to do a final cleaning for hip hop. All dancers MUST attend. We are also looking for a place to hold gym practices in March to get ready for competitions. If you know of a place we can rent, please let me know.
*Costumes: Many students have been asking when costumes will arrive. The ship date isn’t until the first week of March. We will get them out to you as soon as they arrive.

You are welcome to start making payments towards it, so it isn’t so much on the date. We will also be doing the cookie dough fundraiser. It will start in February, so the profit from that can go towards your competition fees.

Please note that Super Stars now need black seamless fishnet tights for SHOW. As mentioned in the email, we have had to change our SHOW costume. We love the one we have picked to replace it and there will be no additional cost to you.
