October 2012 newsletter
October 2012:
We are now a month into classes! I can’t believe the improvement and hard work in just this past month. It is shaping up to be an AMAZING year. Pre-show will be starting their routines within the next few weeks, so make sure you are attending all classes. A few things:
Tuition: Remember that tuition is due the first class of the month. I really hate charging late fees, so get your payment in on time. Please talk to me if you have a financial situation arise. I am more than willing to break payments down. Late fees of $10 per week are assessed after the 10th of the month. Please bring cash or make checks payable to Diva’s Dance Studio or Andrea Olsen.
Registration forms: I am still missing several registration forms. Please return those to me asap! If you have lost yours, I will be more than happy to give you another. It is crucial to have information on hand. Also, if your information happens to change throughout the year, please let me know.
Fall break: There will be NO classes on October 11th – 15th for Fall Break.
Music: I will be sending CD’s home by the end of the month. You will not receive your CD until your registration fee, costume security fee for all dancers is paid, and tuition is current. I am sending home one per family. You are welcome to make copies or download it to your computer. If you lose your copy and need a new one, there is a replacement fee of $2 per CD. Having your dancer’s music is an important part of her growth and improvement. When they can practice at home, their retention and memory of the routines is so much greater than those who do not practice. Even if it doesn’t look like they remember, they associate different parts of the music with movements. Please allow your dancer to practice often. The older you are, the more you need to practice!
Costumes: We have finalized all costumes. They are shown on the website: www.divasdancestudio.com under the blog tab, as well as on our Facebook page. I have emailed the cost of the costumes. You are welcome to start making payments towards costumes, though. If you would like to pay extra, just either write in on the memo line, or write it on a note when turning in your tuition. The accessories you will need for each costume is listed under each costume. I will be sending home an instruction sheet with easy purchase instructions and deadlines. You are welcome to start purchasing items now, or wait for the instruction sheet to make sure you purchase the correct items.
Fundraiser: We have started our first fundraiser this month. We will be doing a Scentsy, Velata fondue, and Grace Adele purse fundraiser from October 1st – October 28th. (We will be doing a cookie dough fundraiser from February 1 – 25th.) You are welcome to do both fundraisers, or pick just one. Fundraisers are totally optional, they only benefit YOU! We are doing the “Scentsy” fundraiser before Christmas so people can buy the products to give as Christmas gifts. You will receive 25% of sales from the Scentsy fundraiser and 50% from the cookie dough. I will be sending home packets to the ones who requested them. If you would like to start the fundraiser, you are welcome to come pick up a packet anytime, but remember that ALL packets are due by September 28th, NO exceptions. Orders turned in after the deadline will NOT be eligible to count towards the fundraiser. You will have one family packet, but if you would like more than one packet, please let me know. Please read all the information in the packet completely to understand to fundraiser. This fundraiser will help to pay for costumes. Anything you make extra will go towards your tuition or warm-ups or travel accessories. The cookie dough fundraiser we do in the spring will help pay for competition fees, any tuition left for the year, or towards warm-ups, t-shirts and bags!
Halloween: Wednesday, October 31st is Halloween! We WILL have class that day, but we will be combining our Juniors and Express classes from 4 – 5:30 pm. We encourage dancers to wear their costumes. We will be “dancing” that day, so make sure your dancer can still move in her costume. Dancers may bring a treat to share if they would like.
Statements: Statements will be emailed out after the 10th of the month. If you would like a statement at any time, you can email me at divasdancestudio@gmail.com and request one and it will be emailed to you. You are also welcome to email me with and questions or concerns you might have.
Calendar: An October calendar is on the back of this letter. It will also be posted on the website and hung in the studio. If you ever lose your newsletter or calendar, check the studio board, or the website: www.divasdancestudio.com.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks!!
