You will be billed the remaining balance in January. Please remind your dancers to wait inside the studio for their ride home.  We do not want dancers waiting in the parking lot or the street for their rides.  Also please be sure to pick up your child on time.  Teachers should not have to wait to close the studio for late pick ups.  The studio is closed from Friday, December 24 – January 2 for Christmas Break. Classes will resume on Monday, January 3.  We are still accepting students for our classes.   After December 24, we can no longer accept any more students, or make any changes to your dance schedule.  Please pass this info to family and friends!!  Attendance is very important.  We will be starting recital dances after Christmas break.  It is very hard for your teachers to choreograph a recital dance if dancers are continuously absent.  Please be on time for all your classes, your warm up is very important!!  We are collecting NEW toys this month to help families in need this    Christmas!  Please consider donating a toy!  There is a box for donations at the studios.
