January 2013
It’s a New Year! Hope you all had a great holiday season, and are surviving the cold! Time to get back to work! J
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 (the 12th for this month only). Please bring cash or make checks payable to Diva’s Dance Studio or Andrea Olsen.
Attendance: Please make sure dancers attend all classes possible. (I know most of the time they do anyways!) We are only a few months away from competition time and we will be moving quickly on our routines to get them polished and ready to go! We will also be having extra practices in a gym so that we can get the feel of performing on a gym floor. I will send out dates and times as soon as I get them scheduled. I try hard to keep them on regular class days, but they may vary a bit. We will also have a dress rehearsal where we practice in our costumes.
Costumes: Costumes have been ordered! As soon as they arrive, I will send them home with your dancer. (Costumes will be sent home around the middle of March.) When you do receive your costumes, please try them on your dancer to make sure they fit correctly, and let me know of any issues immediately. Also, get your accessories ordered ASAP!
No class: Martin Luther Day is January 21st. We will not be having class that day. (See calendar) All other classes will be as normal.
Hair and makeup class: I will be holding a hair and makeup class. Minis will be from 6:45 – 7 pm right after your class. I will go over hair and makeup as well as answer any questions. ALL pre-show and Stars Show Team will be from 7 – 8 pm. I will give a demonstration on how to do the competition hair and makeup, as well as give a sheet out with the colors and information. I encourage ALL dancers in pre-show and Stars to attend, as well as 1 parent. I will be available to answer any questions as well.
Costumes and accessories: All costume money not paid in full will now begin accruing interest of 10% of the balance due per week. If you would like to work out a payment plan, please speak with me and we will work something out. Also, I sent home a few weeks ago the costume accessory lists. If you need another one, please let me know and I can get you another one. These items are required for competition. You do not have to order them from the website on the paper, but if you do it ensures that you receive the correct items. If you have questions, or need another form, please let me know.
Calendar: A January calendar is attached to 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.
POD: Our next parent observation day will be February 25th – March 2nd.
Hip hop pre-show: It’s time to register for our hip hop classes! These are pre-show competition classes. There is a small increase in tuition and an extra costume and competition fees associated with these classes. In these classes they will be taught hip hop technique as well as 1 hip hop routine that they will perform at competitions as well as the recital. We do not have the price of the costumes yet. We did a census last year and many people like the idea of combining the boys and the girls together for these classes, so that is what we did! Our boys and girls hip hop classes will be together this year! We think that will be an awesome opportunity to have the classes together. Classes will be as follows: Sr. CREW (ages 12 – 18 yrs, open to boys AND girls): Saturdays 11 am – noon; Jr. CREW (ages 6 – 11 yrs, open to boys AND girls): Saturdays Noon – 1 pm. These classes will be taught by Allie Olsen, our new technique teacher. Registration for these classes is open, and there is a maximum number open for these classes, 12 dancers per class. If you would like to register, please call, email or talk with me to register your dancer. If you have any questions concerning hip hop, please don’t hesitate to ask. Classes will start January 12th and will run until the end of May.

Stars Show Team:
I will be emailing your tardies and absences to you to let you know where you
are. Please remember to wear your company outfits to your company classes and
appropriate dancewear to your technique classes. (Sweats and hoodies are not appropriate.
The teacher needs to be able to see your body alignment. Please wear dancer wear
under your sweats and remove the sweats after warming up. If it is a problem,
we will have you wear your company outfits to technique as well.
We are nearing our first competition, only a few weeks away! Our first competition will be in St. George! (As per popular demand!) Attendance is VERY important! Especially when there are few holidays on Monday’s and we will not have class. We will be moving quickly to finish our routines. Lyricals should be finished this week or next and then we will move on to SHOW.
There will be a hair and make-up class on January 22nd. It is MANDATORY for ALL Stars Show Team members and 1 parent. I know it may conflict with Young Women’s, I try hard to NOT schedule things on nights when it may. This is the night that will work best for dancers and parents.
½ deposit on your competition fees are due by February 2nd. In the contract it stated that the full amount be due by the 2nd, but I am giving you an extension so you can participate in the fundraiser if you choose. The deposit must be made or your dancer will not be allowed to compete in the first competition. If a balance is owing on costumes or competition fees, your dancer may not be allowed to compete until your account is brought current. If you need to arrange a payment plan, please talk with me.
I am so proud of how hard the dancers are working this year…I have a feeling its going to be a really GREAT year!! As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to email, call, text or talk with me after class. Thanks!
