Quote from Miss Janine to start your Tuesday off on the right (pointed) foot...:)

"It has long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarley sat back and let things happens to them.  They went out and happened to things."

Scholarship for long time students...:)

Do you know that we offer scholarships to long term students? In addition to the many scholarships that we award annually, any student who has been dancing for 10 consecutive years automatically receives an additional $500.00 scholarship her4 senior year of high school. Our way to reward long term parents and students...:)

Rewards for long term students...

Did you know that long term committed dance students (those who have studied with us for 10 or more consecutive years) who have reached their senior year of high school, will automatically receive a $500.00 dance scholorship, for either our studio or for college? To qualify, one must be attending 3 or more days per week. A terrific way for us to reward both our students and parents for their commitment to dance!

Dancers and parents,

The next time you are in the studio, please check our tentative program schedule posted at the end of the hall, near the "Noise and Toys" room. We want to make certain every child's name is spelled exactly how you would like it for our upcoming performances. Here's to lots of upcoming fun!

Thoughts on progress in dancing...

Remember, we are happiest when we focus on our own progress, not the progress of others...:)
