Monthly Reminder: Check Your Statement
We encourage all families to review their statements monthly. Your statement includes important information such as upcoming charges and annual fees. Taking a quick look each month can help you stay ahead.
Statements can be viewed on our app in your parent portal.
Parent Etiquette for Fairy Dance Classes
A few gentle reminders for parents to make our Fairy Ballet & Tap classes even more enjoyable:
1️⃣ Punctuality is Key: Please bring your little ones to class on time so they don't miss a moment of the Fairy Ballet & Tap experience. ⏰✨
2️⃣ Bathroom: Before the dance magic begins, kindly take your little fairies to the bathroom. This ensures that once our doors close, we can dive into the enchantment without any unexpected interruptions. 🚽✨
3️⃣ Class Is In Session: Once the doors are closed, let's create a magical space for our little ones to twirl, spin, and sparkle. To maintain the enchantment, we kindly request no interruptions during class. 🚪🧚♀️
Thank you for your cooperation 💫
Acro Dress Code
Ensure your child is ready for Acro success! Don't forget to order our Acro dress code. Not only do our students look great in their new leotards but they also serve a purpose. Dress code aids our dedicated teachers in providing top-notch guidance on Acro technique and body placement.
Tumbling Dress Code
Tumbling families, dress code can be purchased with the link below.
Dance Dress Code
Do you have everything you need for class? Just like any other sport where the appropriate uniform and protective gear is necessary, dance requires certain clothing and shoes in order for your child to learn to their best capacity. Please follow the dress code, outlined below, for your style of class. If you dress like a dancer, you will think like a dancer and you will act like a dancer. The proper attire for classes allows for the teachers to see the body more clearly and puts students in the right frame of mind for class. Jewelry may not be worn in class, except for small earrings. All students must adhere to the dress code. Please label dance shoes and other belongings with your student’s name.
