It’s hard to believe that November is already upon us! Thank you for your continuous support this season. The studio is truly nothing without the hard work and dedication of each and every student, family member and staff member.
As the winter season approaches and of course, cold and flu season with it – please be sure to log your absences in your parent portal. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to make our dance studio a healthy and safe place for our dancers.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the dancers who contributed to our Halloween Bash in support of the Epilepsy Support Centre. I am always blown away by the amount our studio wants to give back to their community!
Monthly Intention: Cozy & Creative
Each month of our dancing year will highlight one of those ‘life lessons’ that dance gives us through our monthly intentions. This month we are working on incorporating a little bit of fun into our dance studio. Our monthly intention is cozy and creative! Throughout the month of November you will see some cozy touches being added to the lobby, and creativity throughout our classes!
Nutty Nutcracker Showcase
Our Holiday Spirit Squad is bursting with excitement to finally get on stage. Our Nutty Nutcracker performance will take place on Saturday November 25 with two showings at 1:00pm and 6:00pm.
Tickets will go on sale the week of November 7. This is a great opportunity for all of our dancers and families to see how recital will happen in the spring!
The Holiday Season at FDC
We will be continuing our donation collection for our Fill the Sleigh campaign for Domestic Abuse Services Oxford once again. Dancers are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items and new toiletries to help us fill the sleigh. All of these items will be put directly back into the community that helps to support and shape us all. More information about this campaign will be released with your December newsletter.
Dress Code
Please ensure that students are appropriately dressed for their classes with hair tied neatly off the face for all classes. We understand that items may be on order and will not penalize any student for improper dress code this month.
Please label all of your dancer’s belongings so that we can minimize the mix-ups! If you have any questions about the dress code please just ask. Thank you to all of the dancers who have been following our dress code so far!
