February Newsletter

Your children are looking great in their classes, and as some of you know, the next big performance for our Studio will be "The Dancing Princesses."  The date for this performance is Monday June 20 at American Fork High School. Please mark your calendars early to save this date. 

Just to let you know, Tami has hired me, Metta Semrad, as the new Studio Manager! I will be in charge of all communication with everyone. I will be on the other end of all emails, phone calls, etc. If you need anything I am here to help! I have been with the studio for 5 years. I love this studio, and all your girls! I will still be teaching all my regular scheduled classes and I am happy to be taking on a bigger role as well!

Nutcracker DVD's 
DVD's will be at the studio the week of January 31. If you forgot to order one, there are three extra. You can purchase these at the studio. Cash or Check to Big Think Marketing. First come, first served. Price is $20.

Performance Fee 
Just a reminder, there will be a $35 performance fee charged to each dancer's family (not each dancer) for our show instead of charging for admission tickets. This means that all your family members, friends, and neighbors can come and see the show for free! There will be no exceptions for this fee. If your daughter is performing, the fee will be owed. The reason is because rental of American Fork High School is very expensive. We also pay hourly for our staff, all janitors and each tech person as well. It is great to have a convenient place that is big enough for us to perform in. Just a note, we are the only outside dance studio that is allowed to continue to perform at the school and are proud that we have such a great reputation that they allow us to use it. This fee will be due the first week of May with your tuition.

Studio will be OPEN
Monday February 21 - Presidents Day even though there is not school on this day. There are no other studio closers for the month of February.

Account Balance Information
February Tuition is due this week. Did you know that you can view all of your account/payment/class information online?  Go to the website timpschoolofdance.blogspot.com and click on the first link titled REGISTRATION.  That will take you to the sign-in page.  Follow the directions from there.  When you are logged in, you can see a breakdown of the monthly payments that have been made, if there are any late fees, and what classes your dancers are registered for.  We have many of you who have underpaid or overpaid. Check it out.

Please remember to get your children in their classes each week. It is important so that they can learn their dances.

January News

Welcome Back Dancers! I hope you all had a great holiday season. Congratulations on your Nutcracker performances; they were a big success! Well done!

Just a couple of things:

• Now is the time to add classes! If your daughter, neighbor or friend is thinking about adding Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop or Tumbling to their schedule now is the time. Some classes are full already so don't wait if you are thinking about it.
• Please make sure that your kids are in the correct classes online. I know this month there are many add on's and switches in classes just make sure that what you are registered for online is what you are really attending. It would not be a good thing to be charged for a class if you are not taking it.
• Please remember that when there is snow, do not pull into our back parking lot UNLESS you have a 4x4 or someone to help tow you out. :) We plow the best we can but it is hard with gravel and ice.
• Mark your calendars for Monday June 20th. This will be our next performance of The Dancing Princesses at American Fork High School.
• Studio will be closed this month on Monday Jan 17 because of the school holiday. Happy New Year!
