February 2013
Where did January go?! Here is a look ahead:
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 added after the 10th of the month.  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.
No class: President’s Day is February 18th. We will not be having class that day. All other classes will be as normal. We will be having a make-up day on Friday, February 22nd. (See calendar.) Times will be as follows: Super Stars 4 – 6 pm, Star Burst 5 – 7 pm, Small Stars 5 – 6 pm. (We will be all together 5 – 6 pm to practice SHOW.)
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. I also emailed costume accessory lists. 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 February 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: This is the last week to join our extra hip hop classes! Any Stars Show Team members are also welcome to do it!! Classes: Jr. CREW (ages 6 – 11 yrs, open to boys and girls) Friday’s 7:15 – 8:15 pm; Sr. CREW (ages 12 – 18 yrs, open to boys AND girls) Saturdays 11 am – noon.
