Fall registration day this weekend!



Pre-registration concluded last Saturday, May 26, and fall registration for current students begins this Saturday, June 2 at noon.  If you are pre-registered (for those staying in the same class) you don't need to stand in line registration day...yippie!  If you really desire a particular class, especially Ballet 1, 2, or 3, you will definitely want to attend on Saturday. If you are attending on Saturday, while the line can be long before we open (some families line up as early as 5:30 am, with a chair, a good book, and some snacks), it goes very quickly once we open.  The Rocket bakery is also open next door for coffee and goodies, you can usually team up with others in line to hold your spot while you make a coffee run..:)
We are holding a drawing on Facebook for a guaranteed "don't have to stand in line registration pass", so click our Facebook link and put your name in!  If you don't have Facebook, you can send us an e-mail by Wed. at 1 pm to inlandnwballet@aol.com, and we will place your name in the drawing for you!  :)
Registration for available openings will begin for new students, or those unable to attend on registration day, on Monday, June 4, and summer registrations are being accepted at the current time!

Memorial Day Weekend!


Coming up this Friday is Memorial Day Weekend, so while we DO have class on Friday, we do NOT have class on Saturday.  Enjoy your weekend, we hope it is relaxing for all of our dancers, so you are recharged and ready to go again on Monday...:)

Fall registration for ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and contemporary dance!

To hold your current place in class (or to enroll in a new class, if you are an exception to the above rule as stated in your letter), you must turn in your registration by this coming Saturday, May 26 at noon (slip it into the drop slot in the east door if we are closed).  No registrations will be taken next week, so that we are able to enter all registered dancers in the computer, in order to give current enrollment numbers to parents, for help in registering next Sat. for a new class.  Please read your packet info to discover guidelines on where to place your child for next year...:)  If you have questions regarding the guidelines, please ask your child's instructor before Saturday.

Photo week can be crazy or calm...:)

This is PHOTO WEEK, and it has been a little crazy, with missing costumes, dancers with out shoes, wrong color tights, tights with no feet in them (?), no bows on tap shoes, black, purple or blue nail polish on little ballet dancers, brightly colored band aids, holes or runs in tights, or dirty tights...:(

We have sent paperwork that explains how to best prepare your child for photos, though you do have to actually read it to know what is going on...;)  We want all our dancers to feel confident and beautiful, rather than unprepared and stressed...Happy dancers make happy photos!
