Dance Defined

2008-12-17T08:40:00.000-08:00

Dear Parents and Dancers,

We have recently had quite a few dancers quit due to financial reasons, etc. We have tried to grow, but have been unable to maintain enough students to keep the studio going. Unfortunately, we will not have any more dance classes after Christmas Break. We want to thank all of you for dancing with us and hope it has been a good experience. We wish you the best and hope you keep dancing! Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks,
EmmaLee and Melanie

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to EmmaLee & her family! EmmaLee had Brynlee Tuesday morning @ 9:00am. (While I was telling Mom's during the combo class that she wasn't going in until the next morning. I had no idea she was at the hospital!) She was 8lbs 3oz & 20.9" long. Mom & baby are doing well!
P.S. - Parents - Just a reminder that we will not have any classes next week. November 25th & 27th for the Thanksgiving holiday. We'll see everyone back on December 2nd!

WELCOME BACK

2008-08-27T09:24:00.001-07:00

Another big WELCOME to all of our dancers. Our first month back has been wonderful! Just a reminder - we are still running our "bring a friend" special. This means that if you refer a new student to the studio & they sign up, you will receive a free month of lessons! (that is a $42 value!!). Make sure to tell everyone about us! We still have plenty of room to grow. If you have a class you would like to take & don't see it on the schedule, make sure to request it. Tell your friends to come too! We only need 3 people in a class to get it started.

BOOT CAMP & ADULTS

2008-05-31T18:14:00.001-07:00

Are you ready for summer classes? Only 3 days left until they begin! Make sure to call & reserve your spot today!! Here's some info. on a few of the new classes we will have. First off, BOOT CAMP! Here's a flier for that information...

We will also be having our adult class. Along with the adult class we will have childcare! For an additional $2 per child per class we will have someone to watch your kids in the other room. (Don't worry - they will have plenty to keep them busy in an hour & we have a window strategically placed so you can "spy" on them & see what they're doing.)

We are also excited to announce that we have found a fun Hip Hop teacher for the kids. Her name is Melissa Johnston & we're happy to have her join us! Make sure you sign up for her classes quick.

**Also, be sure to check out the schedule again as it has changed just a bit. For summer pricing info. read the "New Studio & Summer Classes" post below.**

NEW STUDIO & SUMMER CLASSES

2008-04-22T20:46:00.000-07:00

We are very happy to announce that classes will be changing locations starting May 1st! We have found a perfect location to rent that has plenty of room & it will be all ours!! It is located right off Elliot Rd. just West of Gilbert High School. It is not far, has two dance rooms & a lobby. We are very excited about this adventure & hope we can continue to grow. In an effort to do so we will be offering classes throughout the summer. Please let us know if you are interested so we know how many to count on. We will also be adding some fun new classes. Look for a schedule in the next week or so.

We know that scheduling dance around vacations & other various commitments is tough in the summer. Therefore, we are going to sell punch cards just for June & July instead of having a monthly tuition. They will be sold in increments of 4 for $40 a piece. Each time your child is able to come to class their card will be punched. Buy multiple cards & come try out some of our new classes! And here's the best part: if you refer a new student & they purchase a punch card you will receive half off of your punch card. If you refer 2 friends you get one punch card free!!
We are very excited about this & hope to see many of you & your friends during the heat. We pride ourselves on being a clean, modest dance environment & hope that you would tell all of your friends about us. Thank you for all of your support!

RECITAL INFORMATION

2008-04-22T20:40:00.001-07:00

It is time to start preparing for our end of the year recital. The recital will take place on May 17th @ 3:00pm. It will be held in Brimhall Jr. High's auditorium. We are excited for the girls to have the opportunity to perform on stage & have worked hard to make this happen. In order to help offset the costs that come along with such a performance we are requiring a $25 recital fee per family due by May 1st. This is a very reasonable price compared to other studios around the valley. That will also be the only fee along with the recital. We will not charge admmission into the show & the auditorium is large enough for you to invite whomever you would like.

We will have a picture day on Saturday May 3rd in the morning. We will send home pricing information & what times as the date gets closer. Bell Photographers will be coming to the garage studio to take group & individual photos for us. Even if you do not intend to buy photos please have your daughter there so that we can have everyone in the group photos.

We are also offering the opportunity for you to advertise your business in our program. We will place a business card sized add into our program for $20. Please contact us if you are interested.
Another fun thing we are offering to go along with our programs is recognition ads. This will give you the chance to publicly congratulate your child or wish them good luck. Each add will be $5.

WELCOME

Welcome parents & students to what we hope will be a wonderful year at Dance Defined!! Classes have begun & make sure to tell everyone you know about our great program. We are dedicated to providing quality dance instruction in a fun environment. Some of you may know about our plans to rent space from a pilates studio for our older girls. After much consideration we have decided to move them to Stardust Dance Studio which is primarily a ballroom studio. They have space open for us now! So, classes that have an (**) by them will begin at this location starting September 11th. We look forward to this new adventure - as do our older girls! All other classes will still be held at the garage studio. Below is the address for Stardust:

Stardust Dance Studio
3929 E. Main
Val Vista & Main St.

We also hope to open a beginning adult class at this location on Tuesday or Thursday mornings. So, those of you moms that would like a good work-out or that just want to learn some steps to help your children with their dances - get your friends together and ask us for more information.

P.S. - Watch for our teacher bios coming soon...
