Bring a Friend Week

The week of October 12 – 15 is Bring a Friend Week to dance class. Students may bring a friend to any class this week. Information on classes and the studio will be available if someone is interested in registering. The friends are encouraged to wear clothes to move in. Please keep in mind that the class they visit may be a full class. Instructors will allow the friends to participate as much as possible; however, participation in some classes may be limited.

Trick-or-Treat Time

Students will have a chance to wear their Halloween costumes to dance class and have a trick-or treat time during the last 20 minutes of that class. Please bring a treat to share and send home with the class and a bag to collect your goodies. If possible, moms of younger students need to be present to come into the dance room and be the “Trick-or-Treat houses”. We do not need food or drinks since it is not a party.
Trick-or-Treat days will be Oct. 19-22.

Older students (parents) please check with your teacher to see if your class will be participating in this event.
Evening classes on Thursday,

Oct. 29 will be closed due to Cabell Co. Trick or Treat Night.

Reminders

Students need to wear dance clothes to class!
No jeans! Tights or socks need to be worn with their shoes. This will decrease blisters and sore feet and allow the shoes to fit properly. Also, make sure pants do not extend below the heel of the shoe. If anyone finds extra shoes in their dance bags or just lying around, please turn them in to your teacher or leave them in the dressing room. Bring a bottle of water to class for use during break time.

Studio payment can be placed in the waiting room payment basket or given to an instructor during business hours. They can also be mailed or placed through the mail slot during non-business hours. We appreciate your prompt payment.

New Classes Starting

The Mommy and Me class is designed for children ages 2-4 years and their parents. Filled with songs, movement, and lots of fun, each session is created to help develop your child’s physical and mental growth. Motor skills, creative dance, props, and games are used in a circle time format to teach song and dance exercises. These classes also give parents a chance to spend quality time with their children, to meet other parents, and introduce your child to the dance room environment. Mommy and Me session 1 classes start October 5. They are offered Monday at 6pm and Thursday at 12pm. The cost is $85/session. Space is available in both classes. Siblings of current students get a discounted registration fee.

A Boy’s and Girl’s Tap/Hip Hop Class is starting October 6 at 5pm. This class is for 3- 5 yrs olds.

Variety Benefit Show

On November 28 at 7pm in the Renaissance Center, Premiere Dance Studio will participate in a benefit for New Baptist Church. This church, attended by Mrs. Melissa and Nancy Carter of Nancy’s School of Dance, is raising money to build new classrooms. Several dance groups from both studios as well as singers/actors will contribute to this worthy cause. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us at this event.

More information will follow.

We will measure for costumes in November for each class. Parents will have an opportunity to see the costumes before they are ordered.
A costume deposit of $40 is due for each costume ordered by November 1st with the full balance due January 15th. 
Costume amounts should be added into the monthly tuition payment.
