"HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, WELCOME BACK"
This is the beginning
of a brand new year, and I am hoping everyone is looking at everything with a
positive attitude. I believe this is going to be a year of great opportunities
for our studio. I want all of you to get on the band wagon with all our events,
activities and fundraisers and make this a fruitful year. We have much to be
thankful for.
We are now
experiencing cold weather, so make sure you bundle up and bring your sweaters
if you like. Perfect attendance is important now because soon teachers will be
working on recital routines. So, don't get sick with colds. We are having
"Dance Day" to start off our half-year enrollment, and we want
everyone to support the studio by bringing in new students during the month of
January. Parents should ask for a copy of the newsletter every first Saturday
so you can find out what announcements you need to know. Please read the entire
newsletter. As you read the newsletter, you will find that we have several
things coming up with the acrobatic class, and performances by the Junior
Division.
Let's start the new
year off by doing bigger and better things.

HALF
YEAR ENROLLMENT
"The Art of
Dance Expo" is our free "Dance Day" opening for our half-year
enrollment on January 10, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. Everyone is to invite someone to
take part in a dance session of all the dance forms, and our students should
stay and dance with them to encourage and help them. We hope to have a large
group of new students, if you did your jobs of inviting friends. But, you still
have an opportunity to invite friends during the whole month of January to
enroll in the half-year class. This is one good way to help your school grow.
Dance Day is Free.
NAC

The NAC competitions
are coming up, and our participants are looking for all our support by cheering
them on to victory. We have about 13 students participating this year in
several levels. The preliminary competitions will be Sunday, February 1, and

at the same location. Winners will be posted in the seating area. We wish good
luck to all of them for their efforts.
MONTHLY

THANKS!!
We thank Brotherhood
Bank for donating the green candy-filled stockings that were passed out at the
Christmas party. The bank is also carpeting our acrobatic room with padding and
carpet. We are grateful that they have chosen our school to make such a
charitable donation. They have been a loyal supporter with a full page ad every
year for 20 years or more. They were also responsible for our school being
featured on the 'Faces of Kansa City" on Channel 5 TV.

or changed home addresses , phone numbers, cell phone numbers or email
addresses to the office. We need to be
able to reach you for any emergency that may arise.

QUOTE
This quote is for the
dancer who is trying to spread their horizons to a higher level. "It's
exciting to be in a situation where you are out of your comfort zone. If you
are not challenging yourself, what's the point?"
