WELCOME BACK!!

BRING A FRIEND WEEK:

OCT. 20 – 26

Our annual ‘bring-a-friend’ week is from Monday, October 20 through Sunday, October 26. Any student currently enrolled in class at Dynamix may have the chance to bring 1 friend or sibling with them to class that week. The only requirements are: (1) friends need to be the same age, within a year, of the class (ex. a 6 yr. old may not take their sister’s 9-12 yr. old class) (2) friends need a signed permission slip from a parent/guardian at the time of their class & (3) friends need to be wearing suitable clothing (such as sweats, or loose fitting items) if they do not have the proper dress code.

Incentive for referrals: Our cut off date for new enrollment, if a class is not filled, is Nov. 1. Any student who brings a friend & enrolls for the 08-09’ season by Nov. 1 will receive 10% off December’s tuition.

COSTUME PAYMENTS

A fee of $20 per person/per weekly class(es) for costume payments will be added to each student’s invoice for Oct. & Nov. The balance for all costumes is due no later than December 15.

HAPPY

HALLOWEEN!

LATE REGISTRATION DAYS:

WED. SEPT 3 & SAT. SEPT. 6

The last two days to register for fall classes before our program begins is Wednesday, September 3 from 5:00-8:00PM & Saturday, September 6 from 12:00-3:00PM. Classes are filling up quickly, so hurry…classes begin Sept. 8.

SEPTEMBER 27 –

MISS DANI’S BIG DAY!!

Miss Dani is getting married on Saturday, September 27 at Bear Creek Resort. Congratulations & Best Wishes from your Dynamix Family!

STUDIO CLOSED

The studio will be closed Monday, October 13 to observe Columbus Day.

HALLOWEEN PARADE:

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19

Dynamix will be walking/performing in the Saucon Valley Halloween Parade again this year. The parade starts at 2:00PM, but we need to line up at the Saucon Valley HS by 12:30PM. The only requirement is students need to be wearing Dynamix dance wear. Participants who are under 12 years old, need a chaperone to walk with them & must be wearing Dynamix wear, as well. Any student who wants to represent the studio needs to fill out a permission slip in the office no later than October 17.

DRESS UP WEEK:

OCT. 27 – NOV. 2

To bring in the Halloween spirit, students may wear their costumes to class during this week only. The only restriction is that costumes need to be danceable. In other words, if you are the “Little Mermaid” for Halloween and your costume requires a long, binding skirt, it might be difficult moving around!! Also, for older students who might not wear a costume, feel free to stray away from the typical dress code and actually wear your pajamas to ballet class for once!!

RECITAL: 2009

THEME – SONG CHOICES

Even though our year has just begun, planning for the end of year dance production is underway. Our theme for 2009 is “Animal Instinct.” This could be songs and/or choreography about animals, or simply artists with animal names (ex. The Black Crowes, The Monkees, or Stray Cats). If anyone has any song ideas, we’d love to hear them!

DATES & VENUE

As far as a recital date & venue: We will be holding the show at Emmaus High School again, however, we are unsure about the exact dates. The HS is re-working some graduation events and until they do so, they can not guarantee a date. It will either be the 2^nd or 3^rd weekend of June. As soon as we know, you’ll know. Thanks for being patient
