8/16/2021 Competition and Performing Line Updates!
Hello parents!
I hope you had a good weekend!
For those of you who are new to our program, you will receive an email every Wednesday with updates. Please SAVE these emails in a separate folder so you can refer back to them. I try to stay as consistent as I can with dates and other info, but things do occasionally change and being able to go through the emails by week will be helpful for staying organized.
Also, we will be putting the email links on the DF website (www.dancefactorymn.com) under the password protected Competition page (Love2dance is the password). So if you miss or delete one, you can refer to the website.
Team pictures- We will be taking team fall pictures on Wednesday 9/8 and Thursday, 9/9 (please note date changes). Please start a discussion on the Band accounts to decide what your team is wearing. Most teams wear jeans and a summery shirt, but you can do whatever you want! The pictures will be available for purchase (optional). Here is the schedule. Meet at the studio.

Garage sale - We still have lots of cute stuff on the counters for our fundraiser! Take an item or 2, and make a donation in the bucket. Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Poland trip!
New parent meeting is in person - Reminder that the NEW PARENT meeting is on Wed. 9/8 at 7PM. THE MEETING WILL BE AT THE STUDIO (not on Zoom as previously mentioned)
Nationals, book at Kalahari- We will be attending Starz nationals at the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells 6/15-19, 2022. If you have not booked your room, please call and book ASAP (they sell out). Use the Midwest Starz block to get the special rate. Most families will not need the entire week, but I would suggest booking anyways. You will be able to cancel within 30 days of the competition, and we will find out our exact days before then.
Small group start dates for Fridays - All small groups will begin the week of 9/13, except for Grace's small groups, which will begin on 9/24.
Miss Sara's group will begin on 9/17.
Calendar - we are almost finished with the yearly calendar. It should be out by next Monday! We will have 2 optional competition opportunities for solos/duets again this year.
Open House -our open house is this Wed. 8/18 from 6-8PM. If you need dance shoes, this is a perfect time to come and get fitted!
Have a wonderful week!
