When a child participates in the Arts, it should include big learning and big fun!

Class Starts This Week!
Just a few reminders:
* Classes are in my home, 8402 NE 107th St.
Please go ahead and come on in (don't worry about knocking), and head down the stairs. There is a family room upstairs where you are welcome to wait if you'd like.
* It is always better for your child if you don't watch class. Sounds funny, but they will be enormously distracted by you, so if you'd like to stay and wait, please do so on the couches upstairs! :)
* Tuition is always due the first class of the month.
* We will follow the school calendar for classes. If there is an exception, I will be sure to let you know!
Can't wait to see my little friends! Thanks!

NEW DANCE YEAR!
Just a quick review:
* I have been teaching dance and theater for more then thirteen years after extensive study in both disciplines since childhood. Next to my family and faith, we can go ahead and call it my grand passion! I love it and love to share that love with little people!
* Like last year, we will follow the school calendar -- if there is no school, there is no class.
* Classes are taught in my home.
* In a seriously serious effort to be affordable, tuition is $20 per month. There are never registration fees, costume fees, imaginary fees, or because-I-feel-like-it fees!
* Dress code is casual in that it is most important for me to see legs and feet. I recommend leotards, tights, and dance shoes, but if students come in their cut-off sweats and socks, I'm still a happy camper. Emphasis on affordable here, friends.
* It is super important to me that class be fun and educational -- but very low stress for my students. So when it comes time for spring recital, you will not be inundated with rehearsals and we won't be flipping out about costumes or particular stylings -- that is just not how I roll. I want my little chickens to have FUN!
* Here is a link to last years overview of policy if you'd like more details: http://musicdancetheater.blogspot.com/2013/08/for-reference.html
Please let me know if you would like to register as soon as possible so I can start making class lists and setting times! You are welcome to comment here, email me at marieallred@hotmail.com, or call or text at 435-862-4675. Thanks!
Can't wait to get started!

Pictures From The Recital!

RECITAL
Here is a reminder of my recital policy, as outlined at the beginning of the year:
"There will be a fun recital at the end of the year. This will be our opportunity to show our families what we have accomplished!
...I wanted lessons to be affordable. I feel like lessons can be so expensive that it prevents many kids who would love to have the chance to take them from having that opportunity. So, that meant cutting expenses, hoping to bless both our family and yours. It also asks you as the parents to understand that there will be no rainbows and butterflies when it is time for recitals -- no sparkling costumes, no brilliant lights, no fancy venue -- just kids who have had a wonderful time and are happy to show their loved ones all they had learned."
So, that means no big preparations for you. Trying to get a time cleared in the building for a little rehearsal there, but as for costumes -- if they have dance clothes, that would be great. If not, or for Musical Theater, dark pants and a bright shirt. Make their hair or makeup as fancy or simple as they would like it to be -- this is really about them feeling so good about themselves; however they feel best! The recital will be casual... I am just a low stress person, but most importantly, want it to be NO stress and ALL excitement for them! I am always available to answer questions. Feel free to email or text me anytime! Thanks!

April
Happy April! Just letting everyone know that we will be having the first three weeks of class as normal this month, and then my little family and I will be going on vacation to visit grandmas and grandpas...we are very excited! Because there will be three weeks instead of four, please feel free to take 25% off of your April tuition. Classes will start again May 7th for our last month before summer break. I love, love, love your kids! Thank you for sharing some of their time with me!
