October 2020 Newsletter
WELCOME TO THE DANCE WORKS:
WE ARE OPEN!!!!!! We hope your summer was fun and relaxing (if strange!) and you are ready for another great year of dance – albeit it with some unique conditions, given the Covid-19 pandemic. (Scroll to read our Covid-19 guidelines further down this page.)
Please join Miss Gina in welcoming back Miss Paula, Miss Julie, Miss Nikkie, and Miss Debbie, and welcoming Miss Erin as a regular teacher this year. Of course, Miss Jodi is still in the office, and we are welcoming Miss Angel to our office team.
While we missed our annual open house this year, we're looking forward to getting to know all our new students, and reconnecting with those who've been with us for a while – whether in studio or via Zoom. As a reminder, registration is ongoing, so if you have friends who love to dance, let them know they can join in the fun anytime. Click here to register!
Though much is different this year, many things remain the same. Please review all the info below to be aware of studio policies and avoid surprises down the road.
TUITION/BILLING: A reminder…tuition is due the first lesson of each month. A $10.00 late fee (strictly enforced) will be applied after the 7th of the month on all tardy payments. Please put the student’s name on the check to alleviate posting your payment to an incorrect account.
ONLINE PAYMENTS: Every student has a Parent Portal account which may be used to pay tuition and other dance expenses online using a debit or credit card (a convenience fee of 3.0 % will apply on credit/debit transactions), view previous transactions, your class schedule, and more. If you are a current student, please use this link to access your account and make a payment. (New students, please register here.) You may make a one-time payment or choose to have tuition and other dance expenses automatically deducted on the first of each month. We are excited to offer this convenient option to our parents and students, and hope you'll love it as much as we do. Please reach out to contact@thedanceworks.us with any questions or concerns.
REFER-A-FRIEND PROGRAM: Refer a friend and save! For every family referred get $50 off the following month’s tuition. $50 credit will only apply to the first month and first member of new family starting, but there is no limit to the number of families you can refer!
Referred families must pay current month’s tuition before credit is applied to referring family. So if Jane Smith refers Lisa Jones in October, Lisa Jones must pay October tuition, and Jane Smith will receive $50 off November tuition. Additional details available at www.thedanceworks.us.
Please note: If anyone is ill or needs to miss a class for any reason, please email contact@thedanceworks.us. Please put “CLASS ATTENDANCE” in the subject line.
MAKE-UP CLASSES: Any child missing class due to illness, inclement weather or holiday/vacation may attend a make-up class. Consult your instructor. No refunds or credits on missed classes.
HOLIDAY CLOSINGS:
· COLUMBUS DAY: There will be NO CLASSES on Monday, October 12, 2020.
· THANKSGIVING BREAK: There will be NO CLASSES on Wed, Thu, Fri and Sat, November 25-28, 2020.
Please consult your instructor about make-up class options.
Please note we ARE open on Halloween this year, as it is a Saturday, and classes are in the morning.
CANCELLATIONS: Please call the studio one hour before your scheduled class time or visit our website for cancellations due to inclement weather – please do not rely on Facebook or Instagram as these may not be updated. We are sometimes open when area schools are closed. All missed classes can be made-up. No refunds.
OBSERVATION WEEK: Observation Weeks for in-studio classes are currently on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When they are safe to resume, we will send an email.
BRING-A-FRIEND WEEK: November 1st through 7th students may bring a friend to each class they take - and we hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to share the love of dance! Friends should wear comfortable clothing if they don't have dance attire. Dance shoes are great if available, if not, dancing in bare feet also works. No street shoes in dance studios. PLEASE NOTE, YOU MAY ALSO BRING A FRIEND TO VIRTUAL CLASSES VIA ZOOM! REACH OUT TO THE STUDIO IN ADVANCE TO REGISTER, SIGN A WAIVER, AND RECEIVE THE ZOOM LINK.
ADULT CLASSES: We offer classes in tap (beginner – advanced), ballet, hip-hop, jazz and Irish step. ALL ADULT CLASSES ARE CURRENTLY VIRTUAL. Join the fun and exercise.
RECITAL 2020: Our recent 2019/2020 recital was very different, but still a great success! Thanks to all who worked so hard to make it so much fun.
