Hi Everyone! 

 

Hope all of our dancers are now adjusted to their new dance classes.  I think overall the year has begun very smoothly.   This is the second of several newsletters to come.  As mentioned previously our newsletters will be sent every 4-6 weeks.   If you have not received the previous newsletters please let us know and we will get those to you as soon as possible.  If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.  The best way to reach us is via email at mhdcdance@comcast.net Don't forget to like us on Facebook at mhdancecenter. 
  
Please note: as of November 15th we will be adding late fees to all accounts in arrears. Please be sure your account is up to date.  As a reminder November marks payment #4.
  

****We will be closed Wednesday November 26-Sunday November 29 for Thanksgiving****

Snow Policies

How To Be Prepared...
  

It is hard to believe that we already need to address snow days.  In general always refer to our studio answering machine at 886-7909 or our website www.mhdancecenter.com for updates.


 

AM Dance Classes
If school is cancelled or delayed in Hudson, Litchfield or Londonderry there will be no am classes.


 

Afternoon Dance Classes
For afternoon classes we will post by 2pm.  If there is no school does not necessarily mean we will not have dance


 


 

If any day is cancelled more than 2 times we will schedule a makeup class-otherwise feel free to do a makeup in a similiar or same type class.


 


 

Peek Week
Get Your Cameras Ready!
 
During the week of Monday November 10-Saturday November 15 we will be holding our annual Peek Week.  This is an opporunity to see your dancers class in full.  Be sure to bring your cameras!! 
Note: team tap, jazz and hip hops do not have Peek Week
  
A couple of things to note about Peek Week..

 

1. Your dancers may act differently with a room full of people-this is normal.
  
2. Teachers will make general corrections, but tend not to single out any dancer while there is a full room-can be embarassing to the dancer.
  
3. Though we welcome younger siblings we do ask they you do not allow them to wander about the dance room
  
4. Above all-enjoy the class!!
  
Note: The parking lot as well as the building will be very hectic.
  
Costume Deposits
It's Time to Begin Preparation
 

During the week of November 3-8 costume deposits for our annual recital on May 23 will be due. Planning for recital is much like planning a wedding, but for hundreds of bridesmaids and groomsmen.  Costume orders must be placed early to guarantee on time delivery. 


 

Although recital participation is not required it is a time a year our dancers young and old (the 3 year olds are the hit!) can't wait for!  If you or your dancer chooses not to participate please let our office know.


 

A deposit of $65 is due for each class your dancer participates in.  This will not include any technique classes (for those who take multiple ballets please make one deposit at this time and we will determine which classes perform). Note that  Leaps and Turns and Parent/Tot  do not perform in the recital.  Balances will be due by March 15 and will appear on your accounts by March 1.  These balances generally run between $5-10 for our youngest dancers (though at times there is not a balance) and $10-20 for our older dancers.  Most classes will receive tights with their costume as well.  **These deposit charges will appear on your account as of November 1 if you choose to pay this via your online account or in our office prior to the deadline of November 16.


 

The following classes will not require a deposit as we will put costumes together at a later date.  Hip Hop 12+ any pointe, any male dancer-***for our male dancers: please let us know if a charge appears on your account for your male dancer as they automatically are assigned by class.


 

When paying your costume deposit we will ask that you fill out a form available in the office.  Please note:  we cannot order a costume without a deposit. 

***Note: if you have dancers in multiple classes and need to set up a payment plan please do so with our office before the deadline of November 16***

Book Your Birthday Bash
Allow Us To Make Your Child's Day Truly Special!

 

The votes are in and MHDC is the way to go for celebrating your child's special day! Dedicated to making each party a unique experience, MDHC offers a variety of party themes, in addition to  creating your own theme! Kids love the non-stop fun and games while parents love the ease of planning and hosting (not to mention not having clean up duty).

 

Here what a couple parents had to say:

 

"The girls all had a fabulous time! Miss Adria had them up and grooving the whole time with fun, active games and dance routines! The staff took care of absolutely everything, all we had to do was bring the cake and party favors and then enjoy watching the fun!"

 

-Carol Goff, mother of Chloe  

 

This year I decided not to have my daughter's birthday party at home to avoid dealing with the after party mess. I saw the MHDC website offering Birthday Bashes and thought it could work. I was right! My daughter had the best time celebrating with her friends. The girls danced, played several games and the staff was super professional, efficient and sweet! I was thrilled that I didn't have move a finger while enjoying and having quality time with the moms! If you are looking for a great place to celebrate your child's birthday party, think MHDC! They take care of all the details, your kids have fun and parents feel pampered by the staff!
