Broadway Bound

August 2010 Newsletter Thank you for being Broadway Bound!

Welcome back everyone…and for all our new student families…thank you so much for being Broadway Bound!

If you are returning to Broadway Bound…thank you so much for joining us for another year. If you are new to the studio we are happy to have you for your first fun-filled and exciting semester. You are our newbees! Once again the year will be loaded with great dancing, tumbling, twirling, new friends and a great time for everyone. Our facilities will be busy with enthusiastic students and their families. Please be assured, we do not take your enrollment for granted. We know you have a choice of activities for your family and we are honored that you have selected Broadway Bound. We are pleased to be able to play a role in the arts education of your children and we want you to know that we do not take our responsibility lightly. Once again...thank you for being Broadway Bound! - Jennifer DeFelice

Open House Tuesday, July 13th, 6:00 - 8:00

MANY CLASSES ARE FILLING UP AND SOME ARE ALREADY CLOSED!

Missed the last Open House? Still need to register for classes, get sized for shoes and order apparel. Have you picked up your Recital DVD? We have scheduled one more open house for your convenience. In addition, many people have asked us which class would be most appropriate for their child in the fall. If you have any questions as to what classes you should take, please feel free to ask. Remember that each student generally moves up a level. For example, if a child is in Jazz I this year you should register for Jazz II in the fall. Please register early to guarantee enrollment in the class you want. There are many exciting changes taking place so do not delay. And, if you can't make it in, give us a call at 429-8844 and we will take your registration over the phone.

Shoes, apparel and dress requirements – Once again we would like to help you with your shoe and apparel orders and remind you of some of our very basic dress requirements. We will be placing a shoe and apparel order the week before the studio opens so our dancers, twirlers and tumblers can all have the proper attire and footwear on the first day of class. You may come in during any of our operating hours to be sized. Check the summer schedule or call to see when we are open. One sure bet…we will be available during the Intensive Camp, i.e. August 16^th - 20^th from 9:00-2:00.

We offer an expanded line of leotards, tights, skirts and pants as well as all required shoes. If you choose to purchase shoes elsewhere please do not buy black ballet shoes. We do require our ballet students to wear pink or white tights and a solid black leotard. They are permitted to wear ballet skirts as well as a solid black fitted shirt without writing on it. The hair must also be tightly secured back in a bun. Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Lyrical, Musical Theatre and Baton Classes may wear their hair tightly secured in the back if it is more than shoulder length. They may wear any style solid black pants however tights and leotard are always acceptable. No shorts will be allowed. Be sure to check out the variety of black pants available for sale at the studio. All female tumbling students will be required to wear a Bicycle Short Unitard, i.e. a leotard with shorts. Hair should be in a low ponytail to allow for tumbling. Tumblers will also be required to wear tumbling shoes this year. We can order them for you. For all Kidz Kombo classes there is no dress requirement. There are many cute outfits out there and you are only little once. We simply ask that they come in tights and a leotard and their hair is pulled back if it is long. Remember not to purchase any shoes until you are sure they are going to stay in the class. Sometimes dancing doesn’t turn out to be what they expected.

There's still time to sign up for some summer classes! This year the summer schedule is filled with lots of opportunities for all students and so far everyone is having a terrific time! . Our Musical Theater Workshop will be a big hit but there is still room for more students. Why not give it a try!

ANOTHER OPEN HOUSE Tuesday, August 24th from 5:30 - 8:00

Candid Pictures by Fred Vegliante

Once again we want to remind you that thousands of candid photographs were taken by Fred Vegliante at the rehearsal and all of the shows. You may view all of them at Fred's website. The photos are in their unedited format however Fred wants to assure you that he will crop and edit the pictures for you. If you see a photo...or part of a photo... that you might like contact Fred and he will discuss the possibilities with you. The pictures are terrific and the price is right! Take a peak!

Open House Tuesday, July 13th, 6:00 - 8:00

Student families continue to call and ask when we will be open to register for classes, get sized for shoes and order apparel. We have scheduled two more open house sessions for your convenience. In addition, many people have asked us which class would be most appropriate for their child in the fall. If you have any questions as to what classes you should take, please feel free to ask. Remember that each student generally moves up a level. For example, if a child is in Jazz I this year you should register for Jazz II in the fall.

For those of you that are new to Broadway Bound…

don’t forget to drive around to the back of the building to drop students off. With our rear entrance, one way traffic around the building will facilitate “drop off and pick up” and will continue to alleviate some parking issues. Drive into the property from DW Highway, drop off behind the building and exit the property on to Twin Bridge Road. If you are parking in front or if you do not drive to the lower level, you may still park in the upper lot and exit directly on to DW Highway. One way traffic is just behind the building.

FALL CLASSES BEGIN SATURDAY,

SEPTEMBER 11^th
