What an amazing start to the year! We have simply been having a blast with all of this season’s classes. The commitment and hard work of every single student is already starting to pay off.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner we wanted to take the time to stay thank you to our incredible FDC Community! We are so grateful to our entire Footprints Family for supporting the studio this dance season.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to make our dance studio a healthy and safe place for our dancers.

Monthly Intention – Spooky & Freaky

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 whimsy into our dance studio. With Halloween right around the corner there will certainly be some silly and spooky and freaky fun for all of our dancers to partake in!

Halloween Bash

Our seventh annual Halloween Bash in support of the Epilepsy Support Centre is right around the corner! Dancers (ages 5-12) are invited to the studio for a night of spooky and silly fun on Saturday October 28 from 4:00-6:00pm.

Partiers can come dressed in their Halloween costume! Partiers will be provided with a dance class and a Halloween craft. Please pack a nut-free snack for your dancer for a little break time. Admission is $10/child. All proceeds from this event will go directly to the Epilepsy Support Centre. Please RSVP via email or at the desk.

Recital Costume Fees

We kindly ask that you let us know if you do NOT want to purchase a recital costume for this year by October 21, 2023. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you want a costume for recital. (Dancers can still participate in recital without a costume, they will wear their dress code uniform.)

Costume Fees are due Oct 31, 2023. Late fees will be applied Nov 15, 2023.

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!
