June Newsletter

I can't believe that this year is coming to an end! We are all so excited to show you all what we have been working so hard on, "The Dancing Princesses" is going to be great! This will be the last newsletter that you will be receiving before our performance on June 20.

If you have not registered for fall or summer, now is the time. It's always a bummer when you wait to register and the class is full or your child doesn't get to be with their friends. You can go online and register at timpschoolofdance.blogspot.com. If somebody you know registers for classes and they are NEW to the studio, you don't have to pay your $15 registration fee!! Just email me and let me know who they are and we'll adjust your account! Classes next fall begin on Monday September 12. You will be getting a reminder email in August so that you will remember what you have registered your children for.

***We will be distributing costumes to students the week of June 13th in their class. If your child does not receive their costume in their class, I will have it at the studio for pick-up. (If you owe any money to the studio, your child will not receive their costume until your account is paid in full, this includes the tiny ones too! I have attached a summary of your account to this newsletter).

It's picture time! (Order Form will be sent home with your child's costume)

Monday morning June 20 is our picture day at Cory Adams. The schedule of times is attached. Please allow your children to come and be in the group pictures even if you do not plan on buying any pictures yourself. Your children should come dressed in their correct costume, with the right color of tights, shoes, and hair as explained on a flier in this newsletter. Also, please be on time according to the Cory Adams Schedule, they do things fast there and I would hate for anyone to miss their group picture. If you will NOT be at pictures, please email me and let me know so that we don't wait for you.
It's Show Time!! (Order Form is attached)

Attached is an order form for Big Think Marketing & Media. If you would like a DVD Copy of our performance please send a check and this order form to the studio (drop box). Make sure the check for the DVD is not written to the studio or included in your tuition. Remember there will be NO personal videotaping allowed at our show!

THE DANCING PRINCESSES

AMERICAN FORK HIGH SCHOOL @ 7pm

Monday June 20

12pm - 4pm (See schedule below)

This is our MANDATORY dress rehearsal for all dancers at American Fork High School. (If your child is not there she will not be allowed to dance in our show) This is a full dress rehearsal, they need costume, tights, shoes and anything else that goes with their costume on that day. There is no need for hair or makeup at this rehearsal. If your child is in a Combo Class she will be excused after she does her dance, so have a driver there waiting for her. Please have older children bring a quiet activity to do while waiting, they will not be dancing the whole time but they need to be there the whole time. (If you know your child needs extra help sitting quietly, and not running around please feel free to stay with them the whole time.) Please do not be late, we have a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time. We will be finished around 4:45pm.

Our show that evening will start promptly at 7pm (Doors open at 6:30pm). Please have your dancers there and ready to dance by 6:30pm. If you have a little one please take her potty before you bring her to her dressing room. Just so you are aware, we will NOT be selling flowers at this performance, but feel free to bring your own if you want.

***After the show, you must pick up your child at their dressing room. The dancers will not be allowed to come through the curtain after the last bow, they will all be taken back to their dressing room for safety reasons. Please only have one person come back to pick up student and do not allow young sons to go into your child's dressing room because kids will be changing their clothes.

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.

ONLINE PAY with Chase Quick PayWe're excited to introduce a new way of payment! It's free quick and easy and immediate. If you would like to start using Chase Quick Pay Tell us you want to be apart of Chase Quick Pay and we'll send you an e-mail with how to get started!
