KEEPING YOU ON YOUR TOES - WELCOME BACK! 9/6/22

---

Get your Studio 68 gear here! Store is open for orders through OCTOBER 1 and will be delivered to the studio for pick up within 7-10 days after that.

Happy shopping! 

Our dance season always begins on the Tuesday after Labor Day...just like Miss Margie's did, and as luck would have it, this year, that day is September 6th - Miss Margie's birthday. It's going to be a great year!

If you don't do anything else today, please make sure you join BAND! This is our main method of communication throughout the year, as well as sharing photos and videos of our classes. You should have received an email with a link, but if you have not please let us know ASAP.

Our lobby is open for drop off and pick up. It is NOT open for waiting. 

Why? The pandemic years were difficult in many ways, but a few great lessons emerged. One of the biggest things we learned is that our dancers are DRASTICALLY more focused and confident when the lobby is not overwhelming and full of people. Our classes are more productive and your money and time is better spent.

More importantly, this allows us to see who brings and who picks up our dancers. We want to form relationships with all our dance family members AND we want to ensure our dancers are with the correct people. Safety matters, a lot.

We encourage you to drop off at the door (same process we’ve been doing if you are a returning family). Miss Hannah and our front end staff and assistants will make sure everyone gets shoes on and to where they need to be. We will have name tags available for the first few weeks for our littlest dancers, as well as coloring sheets to keep them occupied while they wait. You're welcome to wait in your car or on the benches out front or run errands!

We will have a photo app set up outdoors (weather permitting) for the first few weeks, and we promise to take pictures and share to Band for you!

If you really need to bring your dancer inside, please note that parents aren't allowed down the hallway.

This is one of the MAIN reasons we *really* like not having the lobby full. We can see exactly who is picking up each dancer, which is so much safer! Younger dancers will come with an assistant to the lobby benches and we will call them to meet you at the door. Older dancers can walk to your car once we see you. The process will get faster and easier after the first two weeks, we promise! Again, safety first.

Tuition will be applied to accounts today, and autopay will run on Friday.  If you’d prefer to pay by cash/check or with a card other than the one attached to your account, please make sure to do that by Thursday at close of business. Late fees will apply.

Take a moment to check your account this week and make sure your classes are reflected correctly.

Please note that typically, tuition will be applied on the 1st of the month and autopay will run on the 5th.

Tuesday, Sept 6 - First day of classes

Friday, Sept 9 - Autopay runs
