New Classes!
Greetings!
 
Welcome to Impact Dance Center! Every bit of studio is information (well, most anyway) is offered at your fingertips on our main website site as well as these monthly newsletters. If you're having computer trouble, please let us know and we'd be happy to print out a hard copy for you!
This year has obviously brought us many new changes to our studio: a snazzy new name, a marvelous new dance facility, some pretty awesome new teaching staff, and some new faces in the classroom. And that's pretty much where the changes have ended. Our mission statement and core values remain the same: to bring you excellent dance and performing arts education in a positive and healthy environment.
We have a wonderful year of dance in store and we're happy you're here to share it with us. We know there are many choices for dance education in our area and we'd like you to know that we appreciate you and your family. In honor of  our dancers and families, you are cordially invited to our Annual Open House! Please read below for more information!
 
Here are a few helpful hints to make September & October a breeze!
 
Sincerely,

Parking Lot Safety
1. Never pull behind parked cars to let children out. Please use our shiny & new DROP ZONE to load and unload children. The DROP zone is not a PARKING zone!
2. Do no let children walk/run across the parking lot, EVER.
3. Dancers under the age of 8 should be walked into/out of the dance studio. This is for YOUR child's safety.
4. Please do not idle behind parked cars while waiting for your child.
5. Parking lots and dance shoes don't mix. Never ever wear dance shoes outside the studio.
 
'But I'm on a Break!'
Dear Dancers and Parents,
Your child's safety is our number one concern. No dancer will be allowed to leave the studio between breaks unless they have received permission from their parent. Effective Tuesday, September 29 - Dancers age 12 & older must have a release form on file to leave the studio during any break. Dancers age 11 and under may not leave the studio for any reason without a parent or guardian.
Please click here to download the Break Policy Release Form.
Thank you for helping us keep YOU safe!
