New Year About To Begin!

We are so excited about our new year! We love our students and can't wait to see them all again. Here is some information that we need to share with you:

1. Fall Registration. All of you who have preregistered have been mailed out packets with your class schedule and information. If you have not received your packet, or not sent in your registration yet, please contact Krista as soon as possible as our classes are filling up fast.
2. New Student Registration. We have a limited number of openings in a few classes so if you are new to Dance Unlimited and are interested in registering with us, please call or email immediately.
3. Shoe Order. We are holding our shoe order on Saturday Aug. 29th, from 10 a.m to 12:00 p.m. Please bring your dancer so we can size them. Also, if you have used shoes to sell please bring them at the beginning of the day so that we can have a better chance of finding someone to buy them. Please label them with your name, phone number, and price.
4. Class Schedule. We are still adding and finalizing some of our classes so we will have a final master schedule posted on our blog shortly.

It has been a great summer but we are ready to get dancing again, and we hope all of you are as well. We have a lot of fun things planned for our year ahead, but most importantly we have set some big goals and high standards for our dancers, and are looking forward to watching them progress!

Stampede Parade & Park Performance

We just want to remind you that our studio has been invited to participate in the Rigby Stampede Parade, and Performance in the park following the parade, on June 13th. We have selected a few classes that we felt would be conducive to performing their recital routine in a park setting, and will be notifying those classes by phone as to which dance and costume they will need to wear. We would like all of the dancers who wish to to ride on our float. Dancers can wear which ever of their Dance Unlimited T-Shirts they wish for the parade, (if you do not have a t-shirt just wear a black one of your own, or I have a few larger sizes left). We will be meeting by the Rigby LDS Stake Center @ 9:30 a.m. (we don’t know what number we will be in the line up), and the parade will begin @ 10:00 a.m. The park performance begins around 12:00 p.m. and we would encourage everyone to watch and support our dancers.
Please feel free to call Krista @ 745-7538 if you have any questions. We miss you all and look forward to seeing you on June 13th.
Thanks!

Our Dancers are Awesome!

What an amazing job all of our dancers did at Recital! It is hard to believe how fast this year went! We just want to remind you that you have until May 23rd to order a DVD of recital, and until June 1st to preregister and waive the registration fee. Remember that we place our current students first and after June 1st we open up spots to new students.

We will be posting information on the Stampede Parade and performance at the park as soon as we have all the times and locations.

Thanks again for all of your support this year. We truly love our dancers and look forward to seeing all of them again soon.

Recital 2009

It is hard to believe that this year has already flown by and here we are at Recital time. We had a bit of a delay in publishing the information to our Recital link, due to some computer issues, but it should all be there now. Please feel free to call Krista if you have any additional questions after reading through all of this information.

On a personal note, we always approach Recital with mixed feelings. We are excited to give our dancers an opportunity to share what they have learned and the growth they have made in their talent and skills. At the same time we grow to love each and every one of our dancers so much and Recital means we won't be seeing most of them for awhile, and this really leaves a hole in our hearts. We want to thanks all of our dancers and their parents for an amazing year, and for all of your love and support. We feel very humble and lucky to have the opportunity to work with each of you!

Recital Week Schedule

Tuesday April 28th - 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Finale Rehearsal at the Extreme Ballroom Studio.
