April Newsletter

First of all, I realize this newsletter has a TON of information. I just wanted to get everything out there and on your minds. I will be sending reminder emails out, but you may want to read through this entire newsletter. Now… (drumroll, please)…

WE HAVE A NEW STUDIO!!!  I am super excited to announce that we have a new studio and it’s going to be amazing!  It is located at 119 South Pacific Drive Ste. #105 in American Fork.  It is on the North side of State Street across from Gold’s Gym and Joann Fabrics, just South of Jack and Jill’s Bowling. Please see the attached map for directions on how to get there. Our estimated grand opening will be June 1^st. This hasn’t been a dance studio, so they are totally remodeling it for us. We will have two brand new studio rooms. It will be clean and safe we will have access to it any time we want. We will be having an open house before we move into it, so be watching for more information on that. I know this new location is going to be wonderful and I hope you are as excited about it as I am! It is going to be a fantastic opportunity for our children!

COMPANY CHANGES: While we are changing locations, I am making a few other changes in our curriculum. Starting this fall, we will have 3 companies… IMPACT Company, FUSION Company and ELEVATE Company. Student can be on a company starting at 8 years old now. There are a lot of benefits to being on a Company! You get discounted rates on classes, team sweats, opportunities to perform, team building activities, a chance at a scholarship, DVD and costumes included in Company fee, and more!  Our staff feels like having mandatory classes will benefit students and result in their maximum growth. I want Timp School of Dance to continue to be a premier studio in Utah County, so we are offering this new Company set-up. I don’t want students to feel like they have to be on a Company, however. If anyone decides that they just want to take one or two classes, they are more than welcome to take any of the classes that are not Company classes. There will be technique classes offered in Jazz and Ballet as well as the elective classes of Turns, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Tumbling.  There is also a Company prep class for students who would like to be on a team but aren’t quite ready. Every student is important to me, whether they take 20 classes or take only one class. Companies are by invitation only. I will be sending out emails to each student with suggested classes on it to take in the fall. You will find out on that paper if you are invited to be on a company. If you are invited to be on a Company, there will be more information supplied at that time.

LOGO CHANGE: As you may have noticed, we are also changing our studio colors to Teal, Purple and Black! It will be fun to see these new colors on our Studio Sweats that we will be ordering!!! More information will be coming on that soon.

FALL REGISTRATION: Fall registration will open on May 1^st. Prior to that, I will be consulting with the teachers and I will send you a list of suggested classes for your child to take this fall. To register, just  go to www.timpschoolofdance.blogspot.com and click on the Registration button. It should take you right to Studio Director. Click on the button that says Fall 2013-Spring 2014. It will pull up the class schedule and you can register from there. If you have problems accessing Studio Director, please feel free to call me or email me and I will help you get registered. There are going to be a few changes in how classes are set up. Please review the attached Fall Schedule and class description pages. Contact me with any question you may have. THE FIRST 15 PEOPLE TO REGISTER FOR FALL CLASSES AND PAY THEIR REGISTRATION FEE WILL RECEIVE A CODE FOR A FREE TICKET TO THE WIZARD OF OZ SHOW! If you register and pay your registration fee for Fall classes in the month of May, you will receive $5 off your registration. If you refer someone new to our studio and they register for classes, you will receive a $15 credit to your account. You can also let them know that if they transfer from a different studio to ours, I will totally waive their registration fee.

PAYMENTS: Just a reminder that payments are due by the 15^th of the month or there is a late fee charged to your account. If you haven’t gotten on auto-pay yet and would like to, please call me or bring your card into the studio and I can get you set up.

COSTUME  FEE:  Please note that if you split your costume fee in half, the second half will be on your account this month. Please be sure to have your account current. Costumes will go out soon, and any account that has a balance will not be given a costume. Thanks!

CLASSES:  Please make sure your child is at class each week if possible! We are trying to have our choreography learned by May 1^st, so every class period is important! Please make sure your child is there!

MAY PRACTICE SCHEDULE:  As we get ready for the Wizard of Oz performance, we will be switching and adding a few classes here and there. We will also be having the main characters join a lot of the classes to work their parts in.. I have emailed the Main Characters their schedules, so if you didn’t receive one, please let me know. These are the class times that will be added on top of their regular schedule in  May:

Ballet 1: Extra class on May 14^th,  May 28^th, and June 11^th  at 5:00-5:45

Jazz 1: Extra class on May 14^th, May 28^th, and June 11^th at 5:45-6:30

Tumbling 1 and 2: Both classes will come on May 16^th, 30^th and June 13^th from 5:00-7:00

WIZARD OF OZ REHEARSAL, and PICTURES:  Because of the coordination that this show is going to need, we will be having a pre-rehearsal at the studio on Saturday, June 15^th so the students can see what the show will be like and also so the rehearsal on the 17^th will run smoothly . I will send more information about times out with next month’s newsletter. We will also be having pictures that day at the studio. Cory Adams will be coming to the studio and I will try to schedule pictures for times when you will already have to be there for rehearsal. The main Dress Rehearsal at the Covey Center will be on Monday, June 17^th from 9:00-4:00. I will send out a specific time schedule for this soon.

WIZARD OF OZ PERFORMANCE: Our performance of The Wizard of Oz will be on Monday, June 17^th at 7:00. Each performer will have a $15 performance fee go on their account with their May tuition. Tickets for the performance will go on sale on May 1^st. Go to

http://www.coveycenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=527:2013-calendar&catid=1:performance-hall&Itemid=9    and scroll down to June performances. You will see our show listed. You can either go in to the Covey Center to buy tickets, or you can phone in or do it online. They do charge $3 extra per transaction to do it online or by phone. Tickets will go quickly, so get yours soon! Balcony tickets are $3, Mezzanine tickets are $5 and Orchestra tickets are $10.

BACKSTAGE HELP AND USHERS NEEDED: I am going to need quite a bit of Backstage help (I’m thinking around 8 people) and 4 ushers for the show. If you or someone you know would be interested in helping, please let me know. Email me at timpschoolofdance@gmail.com.  Each person that helps will be given a code for a free ticket to the show.

Please watch for more information to come soon. I will be sending out costume lists, rehearsal schedules, pictures schedules, and more, so make sure to check and read your emails! J

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to work with your child. They are wonderful!
