Costume Measurements
It's hard to believe it but we are a 3rd of the way through the dance year, and it's time to start thinking about the recital. Miss Carrie will order costumes at the beginning of December. In order to ensure proper costume fit, students will be measured during their classes this month.
|
Costume Orders
Costumes for all students dancing in the annual recital will be ordered at the beginning of December. Costumes are non-refundable and non-returnable. If your child will not be participating in the annual recital, please let Miss Carrie know by December 1st.
Families are responsible for their entire costume bill even if their child withdraws from classes between December and June.

Student Drop-Off & Pick-Up
We understand everyone's schedule is hectic, but please do your best to drop off dancers on time for classes. Students who are late to class miss out on valuable warm-up time. Warming up muscles properly prevents injuries. Students who are more than 15 minutes late to class may be asked to sit and observe for their safety.
For their safety, we do not allow students to wait outside for parents. Please come into the studio to pick-up your children after class. It is getting dark earlier now and we are concerned about the safety of children walking through the busy parking lot. Please SLOW DOWN when driving through our parking lot. Between classes there are many pedestrians walking in and out of the building. For everyone's safety, please use caution when driving in the parking lot.
Also, please DO NOT ENTER using the unpaved one lane driveway. This is the drive that borders the Running Brook Farms property. This is an EXIT ONLY. Please enter the main PAVED entrance that is closest to the dance shop on the left side of the building. You can drive around the back this way and exit out the unpaved driveway on the right side of the building.
Thank you.

Singers will work with Frank Natter of Face Arts Music in Deep River. Frank is not only an accomplished musician and teacher, and he has been leading the Winter Follies Chorus for 5 years. Singers will learn two to three holiday songs to perform in the Winter Follies. Rehearsals will be held at The Dance Corner on Sunday, 12/1 and Sunday, 12/8 from 4:00-5:30PM. There will also be a dress rehearsal at the performance venue the evening of December 13th, time TBA. There is no cost to participate in this group, but singers must be at all three rehearsals.

Thanksgiving Food Drive
As we enter the Holiday season, it is important to remember that there are many families who can not afford many of the things that we take for granted. During the month of November The Dance Corner will be holding a food drive to benefit The Shoreline Soup Kitchens.
Miss Carrie and The Dance Corner staff are asking that all students bring a non-perishable food item to class between November 4th & November 23rd. The collected food will be donated to The Shoreline Soup Kitchens to help feed needy families this holiday season. Your contributions are very much appreciated, and this year they specified that they need everything!.
The most needed items include: Juice, SPAM, tuna, peanut butter, low sodium soup, canned fruit, oatmeal, breakfast cereal, beef stew, rice, pasta, beans, and canned meat.
Their Holiday needs are: Boxed pie crust, canned pie filling, nuts, baking supplies, and spices.
Non- food items are also needed: "Green" grocery bags, paper or plastic grocery bags, rubber gloves, Ziploc bags, cleaning products, garbage bags, food store gift cards, grocery shopping carts, and paper plates, forks, knives, spoons, and hot/cold cups.
