We hope you had a relaxing break and are excited about getting back to dancing. As you may have noticed we have been trying to go as paperless as possible to free up time spent on admin and save the school resources. Thank you for baring with us as we get use to the new system!

We will post these newsletters on our blog page but we will still give paper copies for now. Registration forms are now on the laptop so if you haven’t done one with us yet, or if your details have changed since you last completed one please let us know – it is so that we can contact you in an emergency – we won’t share your information or use it to spam you!

Please like our Facebook page if you haven’t done so already as we post updates and news, and it is also where you will find our 2^nd hand dancewear stock.

There is also a change regarding ordering your uniforms from us, read on for further information…

TERM DATES

w/c 20^th February to w/c 27^th March

6 week term fees:

£15.00 for 30 min classes

£24.00 for 45 min classes

£30.00 for 60 min classes

£36.00 for 90 minute classes

£60 for 2.5hr class

Fees are due in the first week of term. If you are unable to pay for the full term in the first week please speak to us and we can arrange part payments over the course of the term.

An alternative way to pay is to set up a standing order for your lessons. Please let us know if you would like to do this – it’s a great way to spread the cost over the year and means not having to find cash at the start of each term.

DANCEWEAR

From this term, our dancewear uniform ordering service has moved online! When you need to order dancewear, go to our website homepage and follow the link to our dancewear store and create your account. Some of the items prices have been lowered, and when you order items they will be delivered directly to your home!

Don’t forget our printed items are still available from the registration desk, t-shirts, hoodies, bags…all printed for us by Boost Designs.

If you would like to see what’s available in our 2^nd hand stock, have a look at the album on our Facebook page and send us a message if there’s something there you’d like to try. All funds from the sale of 2^nd hand stock go into the costume fund so you can get a bargain and support our next performance at the same time. Any donations of your out-grown dancewear is always greatly appreciated – thank you to everyone who donated items last term.

EXAMS

We have been back and forth between the NATD and the hall to find a suitable date for our Modern and Freestyle exam session, which has delayed us. The date we are currently waiting for confirmation on is 19^th March.

The prices for the exams are available at the cash desk. If you are concerned about paying for your exam fees do come and talk to us, and we can arrange a payment plan over the next few weeks. All fees have to be paid prior to the exam to gain entry to the session.

Please also bear in mind that full uniform is required for an exam if there is something you need to replace.

INVITATION TO PARENTS OF MONDAY’S 4PM GRADE ONE CLASSES

We would like to invite you to watch your child as they run their exam work, so that you can see how well they are doing and where they may be struggling or need help. On MONDAY 6^th MARCH we’d like to invite you to arrive for 5pm, they will run their work and then you can leave together at the finish time. Please let us know if you would like to watch so we know how many to expect.

SHOW

We have no update regarding the show as such as we all have been working towards the exam session, but everyone has learnt a couple of routines, so as soon as the exam session is over we will be looking at dates with the theatre – thank you for your patience, we will have news soon!
