Merry Christmas To Our Studio Family

I just want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a great start to a New Year! If my staff is reading this--THANK YOU for all of your hard work and comittment to dance. You are passionate about dance, about teaching, and about making sure these dancers get the best instruction in the state of Idaho! I love you for your friendship and support when I am not at my best!

To our studio families, we love you as our friends and appreciate your support to the program. We adore your children and love being able to have the amazing opportunity to teach them dance. We always want our children to be around people who teach them good things and make them better people--that is our goal!

We will NOT be holding level classes next week and will resume ALL classes the week of January 4th.

If you are interested in Winter Gymnastics registrations are due this week! Call with any questions!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you Jentry and Maddison!

We were able to bring Jentry and Maddsion Campbell back in for a choreography session with Elite last week. They once again created a magical lyrical routine that will test our dancers and assist them in progressing. I was so proud of the dancers who sacrificed their time and energy to come and be taught by two very talented dancers. When we experience new teachers we learn new styles and become more well rounded dancers. Way to go everyone and wish us luck on getting this dance looking great!

We are Working HARD!

I have heard so many times this year--"You are starting things so much sooner than usual. We used to be able to get a few more getaways in during the month of October, but you are rolling!" This is very true. We are trying to step up our game and make routines more intense while being just that much more prepared for competitions. We are competiting sooner than last year and I do not want more pressure than is necessary. It is crucial that you attend EVERY class--you just never know what we will be teaching or doing and you do not want to miss. Costumes are designed and being made, routines are started, we are just so excited and ready to get these dancers into shape. Just so everyone knows (I guess those who are reading the blog) that we are taking Spring Break off after that March 27th competition. That is my sanity as I am sure it is yours. You guys are great and these dancers are ready for a challenge so we are throwing them into the fire!

THANK YOU!

I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me and Bubba to go away last week! It is our 10 year anniversary and we went to DISNEY WORLD! For those who know Bubba and I you realize that we are not lay on a beach kind of people. We are OCD about everything and extremly ADD! Disney World is the perfect fit for us since it truly is perfection in every way and kept us entertained. The great food was a huge bonus for me--I gained 8 pounds in 1 week if that tells you anything. I am rejuvenated and thankful that my staff held down the fort at the studio and you supported me and my dear husband in getting a break before the chaos! Lets get rockin and rolling this year and thank you again!

IT IS WORKING!

The website is now up and running! Check it out with all the information and photos! Thanks to Micha Wixom for her help and patience. I can run a dance studio but when it comes to computers let alone a website count me out! Hope you all enjoy! The address is downtowndanceonline.com or dancerscompany.com or dancersinvitational.com!

WEBSITE UPDATE

Nothing ever goes right when you are on vacation! The website that we created is not up and working right. Everything at this time is going to the blog until it is completed. We are just waiting on the hosting company to do their part in getting it to be activated. Please keep checking back to see if it is running! I missed you all on Monday, but Bubba and I are having the time of our lives in DISNEY WORLD! Love you all and see you next week!

Parade Information

It is really sad that a lot transpired at our studio over the past year--and I completly missed it! So much for being so on top of things--I truly do apologize.

Parade is Saturday, September 5th. We are #8 in the line up which is amazing! We will be lined up on Rich Street, 2 spots down from Shilling on the right hand side of the road.

All dancers must arrive NO LATER than 10am--dressed and ready to go! For Beginning and Junior Company you are to create your own glamorous style in the colors Pink, Black and White. Please use all 3 colors in your outfit and it can be anything that you want. I ask that you stick with those colors and not add any other if at all possible. You can wear anything from regular school clothing in those colors to dramatic glamorous attire! It really does not matter to me!

There are pictures of the hair for Beginning and Junior Companies shown abive. This is considered a "performance" so we ask that you follow the guidelines for the hair making it professional looking for the parade. You can add any hair accessory that you would like to the ponytail!

At the end of the route you will need to have someone there to pick up your child as they are thrown (I mean dropped) off the float. I want to make sure all children are safe and ask that you assist me in this effort. We will round the corner at the Independance School and drop off all children at that site. Since we are so close to the front we can watch the rest of the parade! YEAH!

If you have any questions please call me! Can't wait to see you all then!
