What's Happening at KEDA--February
Greetings Dance Family!
Love is in the air, Welcome to February at KEDA!
These next couple of months are going to zoom by as we prepare for lots of things around the studio! Our main focus for February is getting everyone sized and ordered up for recital costuming. Recital will be Saturday June 12, 2021 at 4:00pm at the Peabody Auditorium. We will send an email with pictures, prices and all of the costuming information you will need as soon as we finalize our costume choices for each class. We are trying to stay affordable and consolidate recital as much as we can so everyone can be involved. In the past we’ve had two, sometimes three recitals spanning across the whole day. We are trying to get everyone in one consolidated show this year due to COVID restrictions. This means some classes will be combined together on stage but every student will receive their much deserved stage time.
Some classes with low numbers may be closing and you may be asked to join a different class during the week to work on recital choreography. If this includes your child we will email you directly to ensure the new class time works with your schedule. We want to get these kids back on stage this year so we will do what we can to keep everyone involved.
Before recital, we have a couple of smaller outdoor performances that we are preparing for as well. The Expressions Company is plowing along through their production of Mulan and it looks like its going to be a great show! We hope you will al come out and support the Company and see this awesome production at the Port Orange Amphitheater on Saturday April 10 at 6:00 pm.
To prepare for their show the Company is hosting a few fundraisers these next few months to offset some production costs. This month they will be hosting a Parents Night Out Kids Club on Friday February 26, from 5:00-8:00. The Company kids, with chaperones of course, will babysit, feed and entertain your kids so you can enjoy a little time without the tiny people in your life! The cost is only $10/ child and you’re welcome to invite your friends! The next February Fundraiser will begin at the end of the month 2/28 ,and the Company members will be selling Dominoes pizza coupon cards! Please support these kids and their fundraisers if you can!
We are also preparing for our Mother’s day show Saturday May 8, 2021, which will be a showcase featuring choreography from the students! If you’re interested in participating in this show get working on your choreography and we will send out something soon to get your rsvps to participate!
A reminder about dress code... I’ve gotten some notes from the teachers about loose clothing. Remember you are allowed the leotard color of your choice but all classes require leotard tights and the proper shoes, with the exception of acro where you are permitted black dance shorts over your Leo of choice. I know it’s chilly some days but, Please no outside clothing in class. It’s looks messy and distracting and we are still trying to keep a sanitized space. We are asking KEDA gear only in your classes. It’s probably best to leave the warm up clothing you’ll need for each class, with your name in it, in your cubby so you’re uniform and ready to go for each class. At the end of your dance week, you can take everything home with you to wash. We are choreographing and putting together formations for dances and it looks so much better for the teachers and feel so much better for the dancers if we are in proper dress code. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions regarding dress code or if you’d like to order some KEDA warm up gear.
Tuition is now due. We are working on setting up the online payments through your parent portals on Jackrabbit. Give us just a couple more weeks and that will be up and running for you! Until then, as always you can pay in the office or through PayPal KEDAofficeinfo@yahoo.com. In the KEDA office, we are slowly trying to be rid of accepting checks. If you’re a check writer, our apologies, but we are kindly asking that you look into another method of payment for the future. We would greatly appreciate it, and please let us know if we can help you with this transition.
Don’t forget! KEDA is now working with the Purpose Academy of Fine Arts a Florida State registered, soon to be fully accredited, Private school for the Arts. PAFA staff and students currently meet right here at the Dance Academy Monday-Friday 9:00-2:00! Our waiting list for next season is starting to fill up and we are very excited! If you need help with your online school THIS year or if you’re interested in our unique Fine Arts based curriculum for next year please reach out and we will get you more information!
Thank you, as always for dancing with KEDA. We appreciate you and love each and every one of our kids! We are looking forward to recital time!
Love,
