QUESTIONNAIRE FOR 2008/2009 DANCE SEASON

In our never-ending attempt to become more efficient, we are continuing with our questionnaire. It is to be completed by families attending the studio. This questionnaire is for guideline purposes only and is not a registration form. We thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please complete and return to the studio no later than April 01, 2008. Please click here to download a copy of the questionnaire. Thank you.

SPRING BREAK 2008
Sunday March 16th - Monday March 24th 2008. Classes resume Tuesday March 25th

REMINDER RE: PROPER DANCE ATTIRE
Students are reminded to attend classes in proper dance attire and footwear. Blue Jeans, shorts, t-shirts or any type of street wear is NOT TO BE worn to dance class. Hair should be neatly pulled back off the face, either in a ponytail, bun or a braid. Hip Hop students are required to wear clean running shoes to class, not their street shoes. When students are involved in activities outside of dance they are expected to wear their soccer uniforms, baseball uniforms, etc. PLEASE ABIDE BY OUR SIMPLE RULES.


COSTUME INFORMATION FROM THE CO-ORDINATOR
We are now in the process of organizing all the costumes for the year end Recital and photo shoot. COSTUMES MUST BE PAID IN FULL before they will be issued. The COSTUME INFORMATION SHEET will be sent home 2 weeks prior to their scheduled photo day and time.

COSTUME ENVELOPE: When the costumes are completed, each student will receive an envelope detailing the coordinator's name, balance due, and date of pick-up.

COSTUME PAYMENT: Costumes must be paid in full before they will be issued. Cash or cheques (payable to the coordinator), in the exact amount owing, must be returned in the envelope provided. Any concerns or questions regarding multiple costume payments may be made to Kelly (604-463-1797).

PLEASE NOTE: COORDINATOR WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCEPT POST DATED CHEQUES, THANK YOU. ALL CHEQUES ARE TO BE MADE PAYABLE TO KELLY GLEMNITZ.

COSTUME PICKUP: When envelopes are issued, the dates for pick up will be stated on the front of the envelope. Please keep in mind, the Coordinator comes to the Studio during these times specifically to hand out costumes.
Costumes will not be available for pick up at the front desk.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO WEAR THEIR COSTUMES TO DANCE CLASS OR TO PLAY IN, PRIOR TO PHOTO DAY AND THE RECITALS. The amount of fabric purchased is limited to the required number of costumes; therefore, we may not be able to replace lost or damaged costumes. We realize that the young students are excited about their costume, but we do not want to see children disappointed because we cannot repair or replace their costume. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.



PHOTO SESSION - DATES & TIMES ARE POSTED IN THE LOBBY AND ON OUR WEBSITE PRIOR TO PHOTO SESSIONS.
We will be once again using PHOTO EXPRESS as our photographer this year. You will have no deadline for returning proofs to the studio, as pictures will be pre-ordered and paid in full on picture day. Please remember, if you have multiple classes, you will have multiple order forms. This new format will speed up our turnaround time and will eliminate the deadline for returning proofs.

PLEASE ARRIVE 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED PHOTO TIME.

DATES Intermediate / Senior: SATURDAY, APRIL 5TH (BEGINNING 12:30 PM)
SUNDAY, APRIL 6TH (BEGINNING 10:00 AM)
Solo / duo photos will be from 5:35-7:00pm on April 6th on a "first come, first serve" basis.
Jr. / Intermediate: SATURDAY, MAY 3RD (BEGINNING 12:30 PM)
SUNDAY, MAY 4TH (BEGINNING 10:00 AM)
Solo / duo photos will be from 3:20-4:00pm on May 4th on a "first come, first serve" basis.

PLEASE check in the lobby or our website for your child's day and time. If your child is unable to attend the photo session, we ask that you please notify the front desk.

The photo session is organized around the ages of the students and students who take multiple classes. In this regard, we apologize to families if siblings are not in a close time frame for having their photos taken. Please be prepared for the possibility of delays when younger students are photographed. It can sometimes be difficult keeping their attention, and in order to get the best picture possible, we may need to spend more time than we expected. Your co-operation is appreciated.

Please:
Have the student's hair done (as stated on costume information sheet).
Make-up (as stated on costume information sheet)
Clean costumes, dance shoes, and NO JEWELLERY (including watches).
