1^ST TERM 2019

Dear Parents and Pupils,

Here’s to a successful 2019.

Classes will commence again on Monday the 14th of January 2019.

We look forward to welcoming you all back.

Welcome to all our new students and we hope that you will be very happy dancing at Dance Dynamics.  Please note that we have a website at https://dancedynamicspe.com. We also have an active Facebook page.  All timetables and studio newsletters will be posted on the website for you to refer to.

Timetables for the first term are on the website but are still subject to change, so please keep an eye out on the timetable for the next few weeks until everyone gets settled.

We will be sending everyone a revised copy of our rules and an enrolment form. Please fill out and bring to the studio on your first lesson so that we can update all our files.

Fees:

You will by now have received the fee structure for 2019. You have the option of paying each month or per term in advance.

Regardless of your choice of payment, you will get an invoice on the 1st of each month so you can check whether you are in debit or credit.

If there is a minus sign in front of the balance, it means that you are in credit, so in other words, you don’t need to pay.

Please let us know timeously if you find any errors on your accounts, as it is more difficult/time-consuming to rectify errors months down the line!

Please notify us if any of your details change, ie. address, email address, phone numbers, etc.

In order to plan accordingly, these are the extra optional costs for the year over and above normal class fees:-

RAD Ballet Exams

Dans vir jou Taal

Stulting Kunstefees

Nico Malan Lentefees

Talent Africa (closing date 18th February)

AIDT Modern/Hip-Hop Exams

Concert Fees

 

Parking – Lorraine:

Please do not block the entrances/exit of our driveway, as it is meant to be treated as a drive-through only.  Also, refrain from parking in front of the garages below the studio. You may park on the grass, on the lawn of number 24, or opposite in front of the electricity substation.

Please try to do herringbone parking and not parallel parking so that more cars can fit in, especially with the bigger classes.

In most cases, it is better to drop your children off and fetch them after class, as sometimes there is inadequate parking. After class children are to wait in the waiting room until they are fetched. We do not want children waiting outside unattended.

Parking – Jeffreys Bay

If possible stop and drop pupil at the gate. Please note you may only use the code on dance days and not to visit the venue or its facilities. This gate code is strictly for parents of dancers only and for security reasons should not be handed out to anyone else under any circumstances.

General:

Please refrain from wearing high heels or stiletto’s into the dance studio, as it damages the sprung wooden dance floor.

No eating is allowed in the studio!!!

Students, please switch off your cell phones before attending classes. In this way, all your attention will be focused – ie. On your Dancing!

It is up to the students to ensure that they are adequately warmed up before class, so it is advisable to arrive at least ten minutes before the class to ensure that this happens.  This is to avoid injury and applies to most of the dancers of eight years and older.

The Studio will close for holidays after lessons on Friday the 15th of March and reopen Tuesday the 2nd of April.

Yours in dancing

Michel, Cathy and Carrie
