Parent Observation and Appreciation Week

During regular class times (All CLASSES)

We are so excited to welcome parents into the studios for the entirety of their dancer’s class during the week of March 3. Come and see what your dancer has been working hard on all season long!

Please note:

  • Limit FOUR observers per dancer.

  • Please make sure your guests are aware that all observers must remove shoes before entering the studio.

  • EDC REHEARSALS ARE CLOSED TO OBSERVERS.

  • NO MAKEUP CLASSES THIS WEEK!

Summer Concert Updates!

If your Mini+ dancer is participating in our Summer Concert and the class costume has arrived, he or she will try it on during Parent Observation Week. Some costumes have a later ship date; we will try those on as soon as they arrive. Once all dancers have tried on their costumes and the necessary exchanges have been made, dancers will take them home.

See HERE for a sneak peak of this year’s FABULOUS costumes!

Stay tuned for our Summer Concert Corner - where we’ll share all things Summer Concert including important dates, rehearsal times, and more!

Level Placements and Evaluations

(Foundations Classes and Above + All Acro Classes)

Congratulations on a fabulous dance season so far! Your teachers are so proud of all your hard work, dedication, and progress.

Beginning Saturday, March 29, you will find your class evaluations and level placements for summer and next season from each of your teachers in the Family Portal. These evaluations reflect what your teachers have been observing and working on with you all year as well as specific areas to focus on in order to continue to grow and advance through our program.

Dress Code Reminder

Please take a moment to make sure that your dancer is in proper dress code before coming to class. We want to make sure our classes stay looking their best all year!

Lost and Found Reminder

Be sure to check out our Lost & Found for any items you may have left behind. Simply ask the front desk for assistance and they will direct you to it. All items remaining in the Lost & Found on the 15th of each month will be donated.

Absence Reporting Reminder

If your dancer will be absent from a class, please record via the Family Portal. Makeup classes can be scheduled through April.
