February 2010 Greetings!
The first month of the new year is already behind us! Classes have begun donating a portion of each class to learn their recital dance. Attendance is imperative! Students missing more than three classes from this point on could be removed from the recital. Please call the studio if your child will be absent.
Recital information will be in each newsletter for the remainder of the dance year. Please read all recital news in its entirety.
Costumes have already begun to arrive! Please keep all the pieces of your costume together and have costumes altered as needed. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE BAG! There is an information label specific to your childs dance. Teachers will have students try on their costumes in class and check for sizing errors or adjustments. If there are any issues, the front desk will work with you to handle them.
We would like to remind parents that you MUST PARK and walk your children into the studio, do not drop off at curbside. This is for the safety of all of our students. You must also come into the studio to pick up your child after class, we will NOTpermit young students to simply walk out the door unsupervised. Thanks for helping us be safe!
We appreciat you and are happy that you are a part of 24/7 Dance Studio! If you have any questions,please call the Frederick studio at 301-846-4247 or Hagerstown studio at 301-766-4247.
