Cost is $20 per child and will include pizza for dinner! Ages 3+ and must be potty trained. You do not need to be a current student to come! Register in your parent portal or email the office for assistance.

Parties will be held on Fri, Feb 25th at the Centerville studio starting at 3pm. Your dancer will get an email invitation once they pass off their skips in class. If you couldn’t make the January event, you can sign up for this one! Help your dancers practice skips at home!

FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- FEBRUARY THEME
In February our theme is "Me and My Teddy." All month we will go on a fabulous journey with our friend, Mr. Teddy Bear! We are exploring different varieties of music while incorporating lots of dancing skills. This month we are focusing on: hop on one foot, tendu, developing rhythm, waiting turns, boogie, twist, rock'n roll, and saute jumps. We hope you can find time to review these elements with your dancer. It is a great way to get moving at home!!
FEB 7-11 | BRING A TEDDY BEAR DAY (PK and Preschool dance classes only)
All pre-k and preschool dance classes will be dancing with their favorite Teddy Bear the week of Feb. 7-11th. Don’t forget to bring your bear!
February Stretch of the Month- Straddle | Strength Challenge- Bridge | We are so excited to have a “stretch of the month” and a “strength challenge” in our school-aged acro/tumbling classes! Encourage your child to work on these skills at home to help them improve even faster! Be more involved by printing off the at home practice tracker HERE.
FALL ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN FOR ACADEMIC PRESCHOOL!
We are now accepting registration for Fall 2022-23 preschool at both locations! The benefit to our preschool is that it INCLUDES our dance and tumbling classes! Get it all done in one! There is no reason to sign up for separate dance, tumbling, and preschool programs! We offer it all and have the BEST TEACHERS around! Leap'n Learners ignites a child's mind and awakens a passion for learning and movement that will last a lifetime. Space is limited! www.goleapnlearn.com
PROPER DANCE ATTIRE
Please review the class dress code requirements and make sure your dancer is dressed appropriately for class! We cannot provide proper feedback if we aren't able to see the alignment of our dancers. Send your dancers with their hair pulled back (bun for ballet). STARS dancers must wear their teal uniform, pink tights (footless or convertible so they can pull them up for jazz), and ballet shoes. Please help us to run an upscale program by sending your child to class in the right attire!
STUDIO FACEBOOK GROUP: Join our studio Facebook group and be a part of our community HERE! Stay up to date on current events and connect with us!
TEXT REMINDERS: We send text reminders to the first phone number listed on your account. You can update this anytime in your parent portal.
As the season progresses, additional recital information or updates will be posted on the website, emailed, and in monthly newsletters. Make it your responsibility to keep abreast of this important information. Our goal is to make the recital an organized, exciting experience for everyone involved. The success of the show is a team effort of students, their parents, the teachers, and the director.
