NEW! OPEN PLAY FOR TODDLERS & PRESCHOOLERS

In this unstructured and safe environment, children can explore, discover, and learn through pay at their own pace. One guardian is required to stay in the classroom with their child. A teacher will start with a brief introduction of the materials available and end the time with a group activity song. $8 per drop-in class, 30 minutes Sign up here: www.dancetoexpress/openplay
FEB 7: VALENTINE BALL @ CENTERVILLE STUDIO
Don’t miss out on the chance to twirl your little lady on the dance floor! Fathers, grandfathers, and uncles are invited to spend a magical evening with their little princess. Dress to impress for the photo booth! Invite your friends, you don’t have to be a current student to attend.
Members can sign up in the parent portal here in the “Special Events” season for a special discounted rate of $30 per couple and $5 per additional daughter. Or, if it's easier, respond to this email and we'll take care of it!
*This is a special event to provide an experience for dads (or grandpas, uncles, etc.) to create lasting memories with their daughters. We’ll have other special events open to moms & boys too later in the year! This event is separate from our "Dad Dance" at our year-end recital (sign up for that now HERE)
FEB 27: FAIRY AND PRINCE SKIPPING PARTY
We’re holding a fairy party! Preschoolers who pass off their skips in class are invited to join us for a Fairy and Prince Skipping Party! We'll skip, color, play fun games, eat a yummy treat, and get our faces painted! Parties will be held on Fri, Feb 27 at the Centerville studio starting at 3pm. Your dancer will get an email invitation once they pass off their skips in class. Help your dancers practice skips at home!
FEB 2-13: FOOD & SOCK DRIVE: HEARTS FOR HUNGER
Let's warm hearts and toes! Help us fill our bins with new socks and much needed food items to support the “pantry packs program” at the Bountiful Food Pantry. This program helps provide food to children in our neighborhoods. Donation barrels are at both studios, fill your shopping list with the items below! We are excited to provide a rewarding and simple service opportunity for our students and their families to benefit our community. Items can be brought to either studio through Feb 13.
Each night in Utah, 1 in 5 children is at risk of going to bed hungry. Davis county has 16,688 students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. When children are hungry, it’s difficult for them to learn, behave appropriately, or stay healthy. Thank you for helping make a difference!
Items needed to create Pantry Packs:
Individual microwavable meals (Mac 'n Cheese, spaghetti & meatballs, chicken & rice, chili cans)
Applesauce & fruit pouches or cups
Pudding cups
Juice boxes or pouches
Instant oatmeal packets
Peanut butter crackers or cheese & crackers (individual size)
Granola bars
Fruit snacks (individual size)

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO WIN
At Expressions Dance, our competition students know right from start that we don’t compete to win trophies. We compete to become better dancers than we were the day before. Click HERE To read about what winning looks likes for our competition teams!
PARKING LOT SAFETY @ BOUNTIFUL
Please remember the drive through lane at Bountiful is not a waiting spot. When you are stopping the flow of traffic in our drive through to wait for classes to come out, cars back up all the way onto Highway 89 and it’s not safe. Help us by waiting in designated parking stalls and being courteous to other cars trying to exit the parking lot.

TINY TOTS TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENT DANCERS
Beginning February 2, all current Tiny Tots dancers will attend class without a grown up! Check your email for important tips on how to successfully help your dancer make this adjustment. Tiny Tots will now adhere to the studio's "Parent Observation Policy" and will drop off and pick up their student in the lobby. Parents are welcome to come and watch class during our Parent Peek Week in April. Having a designated day for parents to watch eliminates constant distractions each week and allows for much faster progress. All children learn and develop differently. We encourage you to allow your child to learn at their own pace while continuing to praise them on their accomplishments! We are so excited to watch these little dancers take the next step and continue to progress on their own!
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 23-27: BRING A TEDDY BEAR DAY (Pre-K and Preschool Dance classes, Leap’n Learners classes)
All pre-k and preschool dance classes will be dancing with their favorite Teddy Bear this week! Don’t forget to bring your bear!
FALL ENROLLMENT NOW OPEN FOR ACADEMIC PRESCHOOL!
We are now accepting registration for Fall 2026 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. 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 uniform, pink tights (footless or convertible so they can pull them up for jazz), and ballet shoes. STARS dancers in 3rd grade and older also need jazz shoes. Please help us by sending your child to class in the right attire.
