September is gone and Christmas is coming fast!!

DanCe, daNCe, DaNCe

A big ‘Welcome Back’ to all of you returning dancers and a huge ‘Welcome’ to the new ones.  We are looking forward to a great year of dancing, fun, learning, growing and maybe even a few tears as you learn what it takes to become really great dancers!

As usual September has been a frazzled month that has flown by too fast!  It is always such a huge chore for Julie to get all of the class times set up so it works out in the best possible way for the teachers, students and parents.  Sometimes I think she is a magician to get it all done! But she always seems to make it happen.

Now that the craziness of September is behind us, it is time for everyone to settle into their new schedules and work hard on learning all of the new dances.  Christmas is just around the corner (only 11 weeks until the Christmas program!)

Julie asked me to let you know that the clothing items ordered for the Kinderkids class should be in today (9/28) and can be picked up at the studio tonight between 5 and 6.  If this does not work for you, they will be available next week during class, or call Julie to make other arraignments.

I think that is all for now, just remember to keep working at home so that you canwow’ your teacher with what GREAT dancers you are all becoming!

Also please join our blog at http://juliesdancemoms.blogspot.com/

This is really a site set up just to help keep us as parents informed and involved in our children’s dance activities.

Junior Company Competition Changes

The Junior Company is working it's way to becoming a full competition team!  With this step comes some additional expense and compromise.
With input from many of the parent's.  Julie has come to the decision that the girls will do an introductory competition schedule this year.  They will compete 3 numbers in 3 competitions.  This will give them some great experience and education in the system, while not overwhelming them and keeping costs down.
If you child is in the Junior Company, you should have received an e-mail with the information and payment options. 
If you did not receive this e-mail, please make sure Julie has your correct e-mail address and pick up a copy of the information in the Studio.
Good Luck Junior Company Girls!! We look forward to seeing you shine bright in your competitions this year!

Let's Dance!!

Sadly, summer is coming to its inevitable end.  The county fairs are over, pools are closing and the days are getting shorter.  Although we all mourn the end of another summer, there is one bright spot on the horizon, Dance time is drawing near!

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.  I am Shannon Preece, a dance mom just like all of you.  I am not Julie Goodfellow, but I am creating this informational site at her request and with her full knowledge and cooperation.

The purpose of this site is to take one burden off of Julie so that she can concentrate on her many other responsibilities, while we as dance parents can still stay informed.  I will be in contact with Julie and be updating this information at least monthly, more often as needed because as we all know in the dance world, things change.

Although Julie will be seeing this information, this is not her site; it is a site for the dance parents.  Please do not try to contact Julie directly through these communications, I will try to get any information forwarded to her, but it will be a much slower process.  Continue to contact Julie in the traditional way.


Thank you, I look forward to keeping in touch with you all throughout the dance year!!
