What a year it has been! I thank everyone for hanging in there with us during this most unconventional year.
What do I think next year will look like?
That being said – we plan to move a little back to the direction of our “conventional” year. What does this mean exactly?
- Classes will span September-June with breaks for Thanksgiving, Winter holidays, Spring break and Memorial Day. Check our calendar here for all the dates.
- Tuition will be broken up in equal payments (more on that later) and you have the option of a performance or non performance track. You can opt into performance up to December but know that the payments will be different as performance is a fixed cost divided over the # of payments.
- We will be planning a winter show (for grades 1 and up) as well as our June recital (which hopefully we can move back to the BHS auditorium).
- As things (hopefully) progress we plan to slowly add back in things like our PJ party, glow party, buddy boogie and family dance class. We may not get to everything this year but we look forward to cautiously starting to add them back in.
We have tweaked the schedule a bit as well during the week. In order to meet staffing needs and enable classes to run a little smoother we have shifted our 2-5 year old classes to Wednesdays and our 6-10 year old classes to Thursdays. Like our Saturday schedule this will enable students to move to the next time slot from year to year and ensures smoother staff planning. I will put the schedule below, and you can also see your individual email for your recommended class.
So what exactly is VIP registration?
VIP registration is open only to current studio families. By taking advantage of VIP registration you:
- Reserve your spot in class before it opens to the public (spots will still be limited next year, though opening up a little more)
- Early registration for any siblings not currently registered.
- Choose 10, 5 or 2 equal payments for your tuition. 5 payments (September, November, January, March, May) will save you $25 over the year and 2 payments (September and January) save you $50. After this closes you will only have the monthly payment option.
- Receive 2 extra tickets to recital for those who choose performance. You will have 6 tickets to recital instead of the 4 tickets that will be included with new registrations.
- 1 entry to our parents night out raffle. All VIP registrants will receive an entry to a drawing for a $50 visa gift card and a free PJ party (so dinner and babysitting!).
- Start earning referral credit for September tuition. For every person that you refer that signs up and pays their dancewear fee I will credit you $15 towards your bill for the first month. Once they pay their first month’s tuition you will receive another $15 credit toward the next month’s bill.
What does performance entail?
Just like this year performance is one fee that includes everything you need. This fee includes:
- costume(s) and all accessories
- one pair of performance tights
- 6 tickets to the spring recital
- Recital shirt for performer
- digital download of show
- Winter show costume rental (for grades 1 and up)
- 4 tickets to the winter show (for grades 1 and up)
What is not included?
- Dancewear (mandatory)
- Shoes (mandatory)
- Spirit wear (optional)
- Dance Photos (Optional)
- Events (Optional)
- Extra tickets to the shows (Optional)
- Parent recital shirts (Optional)
Please note: If your dancewear fits you do not need to purchase new even if the class moves to a different color. We also as always offer the shoes we have in our closet for free if we have something that fits. Everything else is offered but totally optional. This enables you to plan your monthly cost without any surprise fees.
So why VIP registration?
The most important reason to register early if you are coming back is so that I can plan and make adjustments to the schedule if classes close before I can open them to new students. I also do a lot of gift ordering and preparing over the summer and this gives us a number to start off with.
Please note that you are not bound to VIP registration. Things come up, situations change, people move unexpectedly. All I ask is that you notify me as soon as possible so we can continue to adjust our open spots.
