March

Student Of The Month

Mary Sullivan

Mary was chosen at the March Student of the Month because she is motivated in class every week! She wants to try new and more advanced skills, communicates with her teacher about how to improve corrections. Mary is also a positive classmate and cheers others on when they do something well and comes to class remembering her recital dances and is prepared to move on! Keep up the great work, Mary!

Makes Progress

MUSIC

ALL Recital Music has been sent out, if you did not receive your child's music please let us know. Reminder: you can view the emails in your parent portal!

VIDEOS

Some videos have been sent, we will continue to get these sent to everyone.

Please help your dancer by encouraging good practicing habits outside of class. When dancers practice and know the information which was taught in class they are more excited about returning to class.

TIP: Right when your dancer comes home take a video of what they remember so they can refer back to this information later in the week.

Needing Additional Help?

If your dancer is needing some additional help with their routines our faculty does offer private lessons. For more details stop by the office. Your private lesson can also be used as a make up class.
