Welcome to 2018/2019

Hello Dancers!
We are so very excited to greet you this week and kick off our 6th Season!

Here are some updates for you at this busy time of year:

• All newsletters are now being posted online at the studio website (arabesqueetc.com) under NEWS!!!!
• Classes start tomorrow September 5! Make sure your child's school knows they plan on riding the bus if they are!!
• Leotard Sales start tomorrow: please bring in your old leotards pronto if you want to sell them.
• Leotard order forms will be handed out this week. ALL LEOTARD/TIGHT/SKIRT orders need to be ordered using the paper form. Please no emails or texts unless you are sending in the form (note, you can digitally fill out the form using Acrobat Reader and email it back to us). We are streamlining so that office work can be more efficient. I'd much rather spend time teaching and planning! Two order dates this fall: Sept. 15 and Oct 15
• NUTCRACKER Meeting date has been moved to Saturday September 15 from 9-10:15
• Please Welcome Rose Bedard and Megan Stearns, our two new, off the chart, amazing teachers! We are so happy they have joined us!! Look at their bios on the website if you want to get pumped up!
• Studio Policies and Nutcracker Information will be handed out in the first classes.
• Reminder: Please bring appropriate hair items, shoes, and attire to class, even if you are still ordering. We do have a limited number of leotards to borrow to get you through. Once used please leave them in the kitchen for just this week. Normally we ask that you return them washed the next week, but this week we have to have them fresh daily. Thank you!
• Communication: please use email unless it is an emergency, your child will not be attending class that day, or you will be late in picking them up! Mobile phone are left on during class time in case of emergency....so we need to limit the number of texts to just that....
• Please pack a snack or plan on using the snack card system...Hungry dancers are not happy dancers!
• Please remember to pack water bottles too!
• Remember grace during this transition season....there are always things to work out and we do it quickly and smoothly :)
  
  

We have a wonderful thing going down here in Richmond! Every year I am so impressed by the wonderful people who have been drawn to AED! Thank you so much for dancing with us this year!

Best, Martina
