Happy Monday, everyone! While this white stuff was fun for a bit, I am so ready for some warm weather! My kids are keeping their eye on the pool - what a wait that will be. Here are some things for everyone to be aware of.

- WINTER WEATHER POLICY: When classes are canceled due to weather, students are allowed to make up the classes missed in any class they wish. We will post any cancellations on our website as well as send a studio email. Please check the website and your email before calling the studio. If you do not see a cancellation listed, classes will be held as normal.

Dance Recital Bears offers a lovable and memorable gift to each child on their recital day. The recital day will be a special event in each child's life. There is no better way to reward a child for their hard work and dedication by giving the gift that keeps giving. Starting on Tuesday, February 9th through Friday, April 23rd, there will be a Dance Recital Teddy Bear, order forms and posters on display at the studio.

Hello JDA,
February tuition has been posted. Account statements have been emailed. Please let the front desk know if you do not receive a statement. There was a technical glitch half-way through the global report email attempt; I am unsure how many statements were sent. CC holders will be charged on February 1st.

Production Pictures: Saturday, April 24th, 9:00am-3:00pm. We are working on the schedule. It will be made public soon.
