9/6/2021 Competition and Performing Line Updates
Hello parents,
I hope you are enjoying this lovely weekend! It's almost time for our official start to the season!
Fall Team pictures - this week Wed/Thurs. HERE is the schedule.
Arrive 10 minutes early and meet in the BACK parking lot behind the studio. Do not come through the studio. We are working hard to get projects done before classes start.
Parents please stay back while the photographer is shooting. No cell phone pics while they are posing (it's super distracting, please take these on your own before or afterwards)
Thank you!
Registration fees - If you did not already pay a registration fee, it will be posted with the 9/15 charges. Registration fees are $40/person (or $40/family)
Act 1 Dance Competition - We will be participating in the Act 1 Dance Competition as an option for solos/duets/trios this year. It's a great competition and we miss going to it! The dates worked out to participate in 2022. We would like to possibly add the option of bringing our small groups there, but only if everyone is on board. The cost is $55/dancer/group. I have put together a google form HERE for you to fill out. Please fill this out and let me know if you are a yes or no. There is no pressure and I will not share the feedback.
Garage sale-Remember we have some cute items on the counter in the lobby. Donate to our Poland dance trip for 2022. We will leave these items out during the first 2 weeks of classes.
Used shoes - we will have our used shoes in the back in bins for you to look through if you need a different size before we pick out our shoe colors.
Hip Hop shoes- Our teachers will pick out shoes for hip hop classes by 10/15. For now, wear comfortable gym shoes or hip hop boots to class. Do not follow the general DF info that was sent out for hip hop shoes, that is only for recreational classes.
Production reveal- 9/19 - We are so excited to reveal our production theme at our first practice on 9/19!!! Everyone is invited, including our Petite Team and Mini's! We will do choreography for the entire practice from 5-8. (no tech portion on this day) We can't wait!
Twin Cities Tap Festival 10/21-24 - Consider sending your dancer to some classes during the TC Tap Festival! It's an AWESOME experience. You can register for one class, or take several.

20% discount if we register 5 or more dancers together - fill out THIS google form if you are interested in signing up so we can get the discount. Please fill out by 9/10 to make sure we can get everyone in.

Zoom-we will have Zoom available this year, but it should only be used for Covid-related situations (you are ill or quarantined). Different this year, you have to call or email the front desk (dancefactorydesk@gmail.com) if your child will be on Zoom, by 4PM. We will not automatically have the teachers logged in.
Enjoy the week! Happy first day of school tomorrow!
