Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
Recital dates are listed below.
They may perform in more then one recital day although most pre-school
classes only perform once. We should
have the recital schedule by March so you will know what day/days your child
will be performing. We will also have the recital/rehearsal rules and
regulations up on our website in the next month (they will also be available at
the school). Please read them carefully. Keep in mind that children are not to
wear any jewelry on stage (unless it’s part of the costume) so if you have it
in mind to have your child’s ears pierced it might be a good idea to wait until
after recital or with enough time to be able to remove the studs. I just wanted
to give everyone a heads up because this seems to be an issue each year.
Statements are included in this newsletter. Your costume totals are listed on the
statement. Costume totals include tax. To figure out your costume balances
subtract the costume deposit made from the total of the costume. If you are not
sure of your balance the front desk has a spreadsheet listing all the
balances. Feel free to ask anyone at the
front desk. The statement also includes
the yearly tuition fee minus any payments made.
Please continue to make your monthly payments as you normally
would. If you have any questions
regarding your statement please contact Natalia at natalia@theballerina.com.
IF THERE IS NO COSTUME BALANCE ON YOUR STATEMENT THEN NO COSTUME WAS ORDERED.
Costume balances are due in the month of February. We will start handing out costumes, assuming
they have come in, in February. Please
be aware that if you are not up to date with your tuition, even if you've paid
your costume balance, you will not receive your costume. All costumes include tights, accessories and
props. The teachers may hold onto the
props until recital time so that they don't get lost. You are responsible for any alterations the
costume may need. Please check your
costumes as soon as you receive them and report any problems to the teacher
RIGHT AWAY. If problems are not reported
right away we may not have enough time to exchange the costume. For this reason it is imperative that tuition
and costume balance is paid on time.
Payment via
credit card can be made for
tuition, costumes, etc, through our website.
Go to theballerina.com and click on the “payments” link.
We will be checking
the spelling of all the children’s names. Their names will appear on the back
of our t-shirts. The front of the shirt
will have our recital theme. If you are
not approached by your Childs teacher for the correct name spelling feel free
to ask.
In case of inclement weather you may
check the status of the school closing by calling the school and listening to
the recording or checking on our web site, theballerina.com. We DO
NOT necessarily follow the Rocky Hill school system so please check with
us. Please remember that you CAN make up
classes that you missed by coming to another class of the same age group. If you are interested, see the front desk for
a schedule.
Solo’s, Duet’s, Trio’s, &
Mother/Daughter lessons
