2019-2020 PLACEMENT RESULTS

CONGRATULATIONS!

First, we want to say how impressed we were with everyone at placements. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL SEASON!

Please remember to make this a positive experience for your child. Dancers were placed where they will have the most opportunity to grow and develop their dancing ability, and where their technique will have the opportunity to flourish and be refined the most.

ALL OF OUR TEAMS ARE CHALLENGING AND PROGRESSIVE. We honestly feel these are the strongest teams we have ever had!

Although your dancer’s team name may or may not have changed, your dancer will definitely be growing and learning many new things. Because we have placed so high at competitions the last few seasons, many of our teams need to move up to more advanced levels this year. Therefore, some teams’ age and ability levels have been adjusted. We have new goals and new material to teach.

It’s going to be a great season! We know your dancer will have a successful year and that you will be well-pleased with your dancer’s progress!

Teams were selected by a panel of dance professionals.

Pre-Pointe –Instructor: Miss Kyrsten

***This will be a NON-PERFORMING, technical class (no Costume Fee will be associated with this class). It is strength-training and prep for pointe work; class is combined with Pointe I. If/when a dancer is ready for pointe at any time throughout the season, you will be notified and the dancer will immediately advance to Pointe Shoes, no matter when that is (Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer). Please be aware, that being in the Pre-Pointe class does NOT guarantee advancement to Pointe within any certain amount of time. Every dancer is different. We advance dancers to Pointe when it is safe and when they are technically ready. Enrollment in this class is also to strengthen footwork & ankles of dancers. Advancement to Pointe is NOT guaranteed.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE:

Parents,

Please remember the important role you play in your child’s dance education. If you choose to be positive and encouraging, no matter what team your child has been placed on, your child will have a positive year, full of growth. Children model what they see. If the adults in their life are supportive and encouraging of their hard work, they will work hard to make great things happen.

On the flip side, if parents are negative and get upset about their child’s placement (allowing themselves to vent to their child), that has a strong negative impact on their dancer. We see it every year at the studio. Dancers who hear negative talk about their placement and their dance teachers, tend to work less hard in class, which in turn leads to less growth.

It’s okay for children (and adults) to feel disappointed. What a great gift to your child it would be to say, “I understand that you are disappointed. I am sorry things didn’t work out how you expected. However, I know you are a hard worker who is full of talent. I am so proud of you and I know if you set your mind to it and work hard in all of your classes, you can achieve great things!”

Every dancer progresses at a different pace. Some progress and excel quickly. Some progress at a steady, constant speed and then hit a magical blossoming moment when everything just clicks. Some progress slowly and surely, and end with a beautiful gift. No one is better than the other. They are all different. They all have different needs. They are all special. They should not be compared.

“Please do not compare your journey with that of others. Just like the sun and the moon, we all shine in our own time.”

Comparison is the thief of joy. Please do not compare your dancer’s journey to another child’s journey. We are working hard to give each child the individual, focused training they need to shine their brightest. Please help us celebrate them for all they are achieving! WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEM!

These children are ALL so talented. We acknowledge, appreciate, and love them all. We want them all to succeed. This is why we work extra hard to give them the dance education that they need and deserve.

Thank you for blessing us with the gift of teaching your dancers. We cherish it more than words can express. We love all of our dancers and we enjoy watching their journey throughout the years.

Thank you,

Jenny
