KEYWORDS:
This is a month of
thanksgiving, kindness, caring and love of mankind. We are all blessed in so
many ways, especially when there are so many others who are suffering and in dire
need. Hurricane Sandy
is a great example of what can happen to anyone beyond their control. So, for those who are having hard times, you
should always remember that nothing stays the same forever, and these times too
will pass. If you have anything, or you can do anything that would be helpful
to someone in need, please look into your heart with care and concern, and you
will be blessed. I feel especially blessed to have all of you in my life. As
the years go by, I have plenty to look back on with pride.
I want to thank all
of you who have already paid your costume fees and recital fees. You have shown your willingness to cooperate
with studio rules and regulations in a timely manner. The costume order will be
mailed on December 17th. Don't forget, I will be leaving town shortly
thereafter.
I would like to leave
this message with all of you. "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall
obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Be thankful every second, every minute, every
hour of every day, a day you have never seen before.
God bless and keep
you all!

TRASH
BAG PROJECT
Our trash bag sale
project is underway. I am asking everyone to cooperate with our project leader,
Yolanda Smith. We will have two projects
each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. The goal for each project is
to raise $2,000. I have been trying for
a Branson bus trip for two years. I am hoping to do that this year. If this
sounds good to you, then you need to work. Let's make our projects successful
so we can plan a wonderful end-of-year event that everyone will enjoy.
COSTUME
AND RECITAL FEES
REMINDER: Costume fees were due October 30th, and
recital fees are due November 30th. Many have started paying their fees. The
costume order will be mailed on December 17th. Any costumes ordered in January,
need to be mailed by January 15th in order to receive them in time for our
photo shoot. Also you will not have a costume discount and will have to pay the
full price, plus taxes and handling charges. PLEASE GET YOUR MONEY IN ON TIME
to avoid being left out.
THANK
YOU
A special thank you
to the parents for coming to see your child/children's classes last week during
Observation Week. It makes the children feel good to see their parents excited
about what they are learning in their dance classes. Watch for the next
announcement for observation day in
February.
FYI
The newsletter deadline for information is the last week of each month. Please turn in any information you might have to the office. The newsletter is distributed on the

Let's hear from you.
DANCE
QUOTE
What Arnxta Ocho , Pennsylvania
Ballet School, artistic director, says she considers most important in the
dance classroom --"Simplicity is the key. It's less about being creative,
and more about teaching each new step 'little by little, step by step', from
the beginning.
Derick K. Grant,
rhythm tap instructor says, "Students tend to hide behind the music, and
its a false sense of security. I take out the music so they can really hear the
sounds they're making and be in control of them, to emphasize rhythm-building
and tone and sound development. I always tell my students, steps don't make the
dancer; the dancer makes the steps."

OUR
MOTTO
"Dancing is fun,
and it stimulates and improves the body as well. It is a form of art given to
you by God, and improved upon with good instruction. We can improve your
child's talent with good instruction."
