Welcome back to dance!
We are so excited to be back at it. We hope that throughout the rest of the year you can trust Footprints Dance Centre to be a warm and safe place to inspire creativity, positive work ethic and self-expression. Each individual, whether student, family member or friend, is an important foundational member that will help to influence the structure of the studio for many years to come.
Please see below for a list of upcoming dates.
At Footprints Dance Centre we believe in Whole Dance Education. We want to educate our dancers about every little bit of the dance world and this includes professional dance performances! Each year we buy group tickets to a nearby dance performance for our Footprints Family. Last year we travelled to Hamilton to see Cirque du Soleil and this year we will have the pleasure of seeing Travis Wall’s dance company *Shaping Sound* at the Centre in the Square Theatre in Kitchener on Friday March 3! Tickets are available for purchase for $48.50 from the studio. We have a limited quantity available so if you are interested in attending – let us know ASAP!
Did you miss out on our “I dance because” photo contest over the break? Well don’t worry! We have extended the contest to run until January 20. We have also upped the prize! The winner of the raffle draw will win two tickets to Travis Wall’s Shaping Sound in Kitchener! To be entered dancers need to write the phrase “I dance because” on a piece of paper, give us their reason and snap a picture! Send your photos to the studio e-mail to be entered into this amazing raffle and posted on the studio Facebook page!
Students have been measured and costumes have been ordered! Please ensure that all costume fees and accounts are up to date. Check out our Costume Look Book for a sneak peek at your child’s costume for recital!
The coldest winter months are here and so is flu season! Please be sure to communicate any absences to the studio via phone, e-mail or social media. Students are also now allowed to wear a form-fitting black, purple or blue activity jacket over their dress code items for the beginning of class due to our old drafty building.
That’s all for January! Once February is here we will begin work on our Recital Routines for our FIFTH (can you believe it?!) Annual Recital!!!!!
