We are offering a turns and leaps class this year and encourage you to take this class to progress more. We will need a minimum of 6 girls to offer this class. If you decided to take this class you will need to commit to coming every week.
Parents Meeting
We are having a parents meeting on June 1st at 7:00. One parent will need to be in attendance.
TEAM PLACEMENT
All Placement decisions are made with each student’s best interest at heart and are based on class participations, attendance, progress, ability, attitude, and consistency. If a student is placed in a level inappropriate to their working ability, eventually the student will lose interest in dance. Class should be challenging and fun – not too hard or too easy.
Problems regarding team placement:
*Believing you are “too good” for a certain team for teammates.
*Dancers or parents who want to be in a certain class because their friends are in it or because “they were together last year”.
These issues will stunt a student’s progress. No two dancers or children are alike. Dance is a very individual and focused activity. Each student progresses at their own rate and not that of their friends. Every class is an opportunity to grow, no matter what level or who is in the class.
It is not uncommon to see two students of the same age, with the same number of years of training with extremely different capabilities. Please trust the Teachers and the Directors – we are professionals and care about your child and want them to enjoy dance for many years to come.
TEAM PROGRESS
A willingness to learn, a favorable attitude, good attendance, practice, and dedication are key factors for accomplishment at Dance Source. Each Student learns at their own pace and each student will have a different level of personal accomplishment. Parents and students should be proud of their own personal accomplishments and not constantly compare themselves or their children to other dancers. Constantly asking “where did you stand in the dance” or “what corrections did you get” will have a negative effect on your dancer and the team. Making sure that your dancer enjoyed their day at dance and continually progresses is far more important.
Please help children learn that hard work and determination will help them succeed! If your dancer has a negative attitude and you fuel that, it will only get worse. You get out of things what you put into them, have a good attitude and your experience will be a good one. Do not let others affect your progress or success. Dance because you love it!
Competitive dance is not for everyone. Competitions season is demanding and hectic. Helping your dancer have a great dance experience is our main goal. We hope they will learn progress and grow not only as a dancer, but as a person. The discipline, hard work and effort required for competition teaches these kids life lessons that are second to none.
Please email me with any questions or concerns you have dancesource@gmail.com . This will be easier for me over the summer. You can still call but it may take me longer to get back with you.
Please keep and up dated email address on file with the studio. This is how you will be receiving information for the Performing Company. Also check the blog often for upcoming information and dates thedancesource.blogspot.com
We are so excited for this year. Your all amazing dancers.
