Not Really Tulips, But Happy Tip Toe-ing

In anticipation for the start of the new dance year, the studio has been undergoing annual summer maintenance and improvements.  After one season adjusting to our new home, it finally feels time to settle in.  And, I like to find something to paint just about every summer.  There is something about broad stokes of color, paint fumes and visible progress that soothes my soul.  Especially when it is purple on the end of my magic wand!  Call me weird, you probably already knew anyway.  Enjoy your next pilgrimage down the hall to the restroom!  Hopefully you and your tootsies will enjoy the new digs!  Keep your eye out as we add more stuff to the walls too!

I am also really looking forward to getting back to Dance Work!  TDCs Elite Ensemble will begin choreography for their 2013-14 season repertoire over the next two weeks.  I am excited to welcome so many new members to the group and I know it's going to be an awesome year.  Rehearsals start tonight with some Hip Hop.  Big kids will get started on the Production number later this week.  It's gonna be a PaRtY, and hey, that never killed anybody, right?


Don't forget to invite your friends to the last formal Registration Open House tomorrow, the 20th, from 6-8:30pm.  Did you know we have a referral program? Tell your friends to mention your name when they register and you get an account credit!  Can't make it? Get all the info you need here! 

Back to School

Summer classes are over and now it's time to get back to school, and gear up for a new dance year! Remember young dancers, you must learn to balance your academic responsibilities with your extra-cirricular activities.  Careful attention to your time management and organizational skills now will serve you well all year long.   Make sure to establish good habits; getting plenty of sleep, eating a healthy diet  and staying on top of your assignments and projects.  The most successful dancers are often the most conscientious students as well!

While the students of The Dance Company are organizing their academic lives, TDC staff has been hard at work getting ready for our dancers to return.  There is much to be done, including setting the calendar of events and class goals for the year, deep cleaning the studio, organizing the costume closet and lots of other useful and decorative adjustments!! We can't wait for you to come back and dirty the joint up again!

And have a great week back to school! Say hi to someone you don't know and make a new friend! Everyone can use another friend, right?

National Dance Day Rocks

Congratulations Dance Company families and staff on a really fun day! Today was our first annual National Dance Day Party.  The event was free and open to the community.  While most of the faces were familiar, we did have some new ones in the crowd too.  I think we made them feel welcome in true TDC style!  Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the afternoon with us.  We are always grateful for your enthusiasm and support.   Stay tuned for pictures and videos;  Mr. Shawn will surely edit something fantastic together as soon as possible!

Couldn't make it to this party?  Mark your calendar for the Welcome Back Dance Party on Saturday evening, September 7th.  All students and their guests are invited.  Not a student? at TDC we believe that more is merrier! Come check us out.  We have fun and we like each other....see... Malarie and Taylor say so ;)
