Hello parents, I wanted to let you all know that classes are coming along GREAT! Your children are progressing and attendance is high this year. (This makes our jobs easier!) Thank you all for letting us teach your children, they are looking so good! Here is what is going on at the studio this month. Please remember that it is SO important that your children are in their classes each week, all kids that are in Ballet or Combo classes will be working on Nutcracker dances from this point until the end of the year.
Payments & Holidays
November tuition is due and if you haven’t already paid for your children’s Nutcracker costume(s), payment is due by the 15th of this month (prices are in the October Newsletter or online at www.timpschoolofdance.blogspot.com). The studio will be closed Wednesday November 25, and Thursday November 26, due to Thanksgiving break. I will be sending your children home this week with an updated rehearsal/class schedule that will take us to the end of the year. Even though it may look overwhelming, I have tried my hardest to keep kids coming on their regular dance day as much as possible, so it shouldn’t be too crazy for your family during this very busy season.
“Nutcracker”
We will be performing at American Fork High School. We will be performing TWO shows this year, one on Saturday Dec. 19 and one on Monday Dec. 21. Look over your rehearsal schedule for the times and rehearsals on these days. Some of the classes have already started their dances, and the Nutcracker is coming along great! I really appreciate all the hard work and extra hours that your children are putting in. It is shaping up to be a great show. Tickets will be available for pre-sale on Saturday Dec.19. We will sale them at Cory Adams when your children are getting their pictures taken. You can also buy tickets at the door of both shows. Prices again are $10 for adult (12 and older), $8 for children (11 and younger).
Nutcracker Pictures
We will be having our Nutcracker Pictures at Cory Adams Photography on Saturday December 19 starting at 10am (also pre-sale of Nutcracker tickets as mentioned earlier). There will be no rehearsals this day, because AF is unavailable. Please mark this date in your calendar! I will send a schedule of picture times in December’s Newsletter.
Nutcracker Boys & Parents
I still need 3 boys( 8yrs or older)!! Right now I have Dawson Armstrong, Lane Dudley, Max Gunther (?), Russell Rafajko, Mckay Meacham and Isaac Rutter. Moms, please go to DI and buy your son a pair of Dark colored (grey, brown, black, navy, not kaki) dress pants and bring them to their first rehearsal. We will have them cut off and sewn into knee length pants for your boy’s costume. You will also need to provide black shoes, black knee high socks, and a white button down dress shirt for their performance. Email me if your boys are interested, and I will send you a rehearsal schedule. The 5 couples that I have committed are Panters, Jensens, Nicole’s Neighbors, Chloe & partner and Dudley’s. Thanks!
Other information
I realize that some of you have multiple children dancing with multiple parts, and I know that this can be a sacrifice. This is going to be a great experience for your children, one that they will never forget! If anybody has any questions please let me know, Thank You All! Tami 801-602-9196
