December Newsletter
Margie Dunphy, parent of dancer Jazzy Dunphy, has made individual size bags of basic hair necessities that all dancers should have. She has offered one free bag to each student that needs one. If I have to give a dancer more than one bag (replacement) please pass along a dollar so I can repay her.
The next order for Revolution Dancewear will be placed on January 2nd.
Ballet Soleil will be closed from December 24th through January 2nd. Classes will resume on Saturday, January 3rd.
If you are using the monthly payment plan, tuition is due this week.
Looking for gift ideas for that special dancer in your life? I will make a special order if you are interested in anything from Revolution Dancewear (shipping fees may apply). Two good on-line sources are Dancedistributors.com and Discountdancesupply.com. I also recommend the following books:
A Child's Introduction to Ballet: The Stories, Music, and Magic of Classical Dance
The Ballet Companion: A Dancer's Guide to Technique, Traditions, and Joys of Ballet
Ballet Slippers series (fiction)
Information packets about the performance scheduled for June and rehearsals which will begin in January will be sent out by mail at the end of this month.

November Newsletter
Dancewear Payments
In order to keep things a little simpler, ordered dancewear will no longer be given out to dancers until it has been paid for. It is probably best if it is paid for at the time of ordering.
Water Bottles
The time has come for us to make the switch from throw away cups to reusable water bottles. Please send your dancer with a bottle that is easily recognizable or labeled with their name. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just environmentally kind!
Revolution Dancewear
The next order will be placed on December 1st.
Thanksgiving
There are no classes from November 27th- 29th. Classes will resume on December 1st. Happy eating!
Snow Closings
Is it snowy out and you're wondering if you have class today? Find out by calling the studio at 268-3577 or visit balletsoleil.com and follow the link to the blog.
Veterans' Day
No classes on Tuesday, November 11th.
Reminder!

Cleaning Person Needed
I am in need of someone to help me keep up with the cleaning of the studio. If you are interested, please let me know. I can pay in cash or deduct from tuition.

Family Observation Week-
Friends and family are welcomed to observe classes the week of October 20th. Come see what we've been working on. As always, don't forget to remove street shoes before entering the studio.
Tap Class-
Did you know there is a tap class at Ballet Soleil? You probably didn't as I forgot to add it to the schedule....oops! It is on Saturdays from 10:30-11:00 and is open to dancers ages 5-8. There is also a class on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-7:00 for ages 9 and up.
Hair-
Thank you to parents and students who have been prepared with proper hair styles. If you have not purchased necessary hair items please do so immediately. It is very important to have hair secured to the head to prevent injury as well as to show respect to the teacher, yourself, and your art. You can purchase items in the waiting room for the price as retail.
Revolution Dance wear-
The next dance wear order will be placed on November 3rd.
Nutcracker-
Two of our dancers have been cast in Pioneer Valley Ballet's Nutcracker. Congratulations to Lilli Powers who will be dancing in the role of a Candy Cane and to Jazzy Dunphy who will bed dancing in the role of an Angel.
Reminder!-
If you are using the monthly payment plan, tuition is due this week.
Scarecrow-
We are planning to enter in the Williamsburg scarecrow contest. If you are interested in participating, let me know. Any ideas, hands-on participation, or costume donations to our scarecrow would be appreciated.
Absent-
If your dancer will be missing a class, please take a moment to call and leave a message on the machine at 268-3577 or send an e-mail to kelly@balletsoleil.com. Also, although refunds will not be given for missed classes, classes may be made up in equal or lower levels or in other techniques.
