Welcome Back Students!
Fall Session Begins September 12 Note to our Pre-School Dancers & Parents The hardest part of starting a dance class at a young age is learning how to be in a class. As a parent this can be very frustrating to watch your dancer "act up" or cry in class or even just stand there. Rest assured our teachers are very adapt at dealing with young children. At this age they will learn how to stand in line, pay attention to their teacher, stay on their spot and how to interact with other students. Of course they will learn dancing too! Our teachers are constantly in contact with the office. If they are having trouble with their class we immediately assess the situation and come up with a solution to provide the best learning experience for your dancer. Having said all that we find it best that the parents let their dancer go into class on their own. They might cry or run when they shouldn't but the teacher and helper will do their best to handle it. Always know that we take teaching all our students seriously and only want the best! Never hesitate to talk with your teacher or the office if there are any issues. |
Dress Codes
Why A Dress Code? A dress code is one way students show respect for their peers and their teachers. It demonstrates an understanding of how a dance class operates, with minimal distractions and the ability to move easily for any combination of steps or choreography. Please visit our DRESS CODE page for full descriptions of our dress code. Hair
All students must wear their hair pulled back. Ballet students should have their hair in a secure bun. All other students should wear a bun or a neat ponytail. We sell hair ties in the office for 25 cents if you forget. |
September 2022 Updates
Stoller Fundraiser
Stoller Fundraiser Forms were handed out last week in classes. If your dancer did not receive one please stop by the office and pick one up. You will receive a credit of $3 for every item you sell on your account.
Orders are due: Friday, September 30
Product Pickup Date: Friday, October 14 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Items are frozen and MUST be picked up this night – if you are out of town please make arrangements with for pick up that night. We cannot hold orders for another day.
Halloween Costume Drive
At NorthStar we like to stay involved in our local community. When one of the board members from the Clothing Bank contacted us to help with their costume drive it was a no-brainer! We have such a great base of dance families and we are sure everyone has an old costume or two that they just don’t know what to do with. Please consider dropping it off at the Dance Center now through October 1.
Recital Costumes
Recital Costume charges will go on accounts on October 1. Costumes are $95.00+tax – tights are included. Costumes need to be paid for by December 16, 2022. Last year some costumes were delayed in production and shipping – just like everything in the supply chain. We are constantly monitoring this situation with costumes. Right now supplies are good. However, we MUST place our order in December to guarantee they will arrive in time for our May recital. We will not order costumes that are not paid for. You are welcome to make small payments on your account between now and December 16. Remember the more Stoller items you sell the more $3 credits on your account to help offset the cost!
The Prize Wheel is Back!
We have hung our prize wheel back up in the office. Birthday cards each month will be handed out to students for 1 free spin. Teachers also watch for random acts of kindness in class, excellent behavior, etc, and have been known to select a Star Student to receive a Free spin! Students can win a free hair bow, a water bottle, a t-shirt, candy, and more!
Once again it was awesome to have everyone back in the studio!
As always if you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact us!
