Back to Work!

Thank you to everyone for all the awesome gifts for our baby boy! We got everthing we needed, and some stuff just for fun too! We feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in our life and we cant wait for Reef to meet all of you!

I will be slowly coming back to work in the next two weeks! I am so excited to see all my dancers... I have missed you all!!!! Thanks to all those who have filled in for me in so I could stay home with Reef and recover.

Christmas Performances

I am so proud of all my dancers!!! The progress this semester has been really amazing. I am especially happy with the focus on memorization that has been put forth. As you all know, my baby boy is expected to come pretty much any time after Thanksgiving. This may cause me to miss a show or two depending on his timing. Please know that I feel confident in putting all my classes on stage, even in the event of my absense. I feel very blessed to have such amazing co-workers that have been willing to fill in for me if I cant be there. Thank you for your support durring my pregnancy... I have the best students/partents ever!!! That being said, I hope to be able to attend as much as physically possible!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

Yes... I'm old

So many of you have been asking me if its really my birthday this weekend and even though I've been lying YES its my birthday this Saturday. I'm feeling pretty old because I realized that I'm now closer to 25 than to 20! But I guess that's ok since I'm gonna be a mamma soon. Thanks for all the fun gifts and cards so far!!!! I will be enjoying my whole birthday weekend relaxing at my parents house.... well as relaxed as it gets over there anyway. I'll post some pics and details later this week.

Practice CDs

I have already stocked up on Practice CDs for all those who would like to purchase one. Practice Cds are primarily for those students enrolled in Combo (ages 2-7) and Ballet but I can pretty much make a practice cd for anyone. Each cd contains the Al Gilbert Tap & Ballet practice songs from warm up through tech based off the level/age of your dancer as well as all the fun songs that we use in class. I also offer Princess Ballet PCDs for those who only take Ballet. This cd includes the Ballet instructional songs we dance to as well as fun princess music for dancing at home.

Practice Cds are a great way to get involved in your dancer's learning and of course to practice what we learn in class at home. It helps your dancer to memorize the songs we use and therefore learn the proper vocabulary for each dance step. Plus its lots of fun!!!!

Practice Cds are only $5 and are personalized for each dancer. Practice cds can be pre-ordered so that I can bring it for you the next class. Unfortunately, because I made and gave out quite a few cds last year that were never paid for, I can only give you your cd after payment is made in full. Find me before or after class for an order form!

Botique Delay

Sorry for any inconvience, but due to funding issues I will not have all the products I'd like until I can do a little more pre selling. If you are interested in any of these items, let me know so I can get you an order form :)

Friday Tech Classes

Just a reminder to all my Globe Master/Elite girlies... if you are planning on coming to take the friday tech classes at the Mesa Studio and need a place to stay, I'm able to host up to 6 people for $5 per night. This will help me to pay for the extra water/electicity.... but is still WAY WAY WAY cheaper than a hotel. Even if its last minute just text or call me. I'd be happy to have you on a regular basis!!!!
