Hi ALD Family!I am so excited that we get to start classes next week! I am ready for all the AMAZING things this new year has to offer.If you came to the registration night & ordered shoes they are on their way. If you have found your dancer needs new dance shoes I will be putting in another order after the 1st week.•Ballet shoes $21•Jazz shoes $35•Tap shoes $30•Half Sole $15I am also putting together an order for our ALD logo shirts. They are $25 & I have attached a flyer with the sizing.I have some exciting new merchandise for you as well!•Dance bags $40• Zip up hoodies $30•Baseball jerseys $32•Leotards $20I have attached a flyer with sizing. I will be taking orders until August 19th.August 10th I will have costume pictures posted & emailed out… eek that will be here before we know it… so you can budget for them to be paid for by September 10th.I am also in the process of setting up text groups for each class. The majority of you prefer texts to emails. I will still be sending emails but I will text you also. I just want to make sure you aren’t getting spammed with side convos on a group chat…I personally hate that… but want everyone to easily see all the info that comes out.Lastly just a few reminders for classes next week when you get here…•Be aware of where you’re parking. Please please please don’t block any of my neighbors driveways. There is plenty of parking on Liles (it runs perpendicular to Little on the west side). It’s a little further walk then parking right in front of my house but it keeps my neighbors happy 😊•5 minutes early is plenty early. 10 minutes early means your kiddos are going to be running around the dance room before I can get up there 😉•Tuition is due by the 1st of the month.•I am not letting anyone leave without an adult. If your child is 9 or older you can wait outside but text me or I won’t send them out. I would be heartbroken if something happened to your child.•Siblings are welcome to come with parents to watch but please don’t let them hang out downstairs. My babysitter is here for my kids so I can be here with your kids.I love getting to know your dancer’s & your families by extention. Some of my friends have come from my dance program. Here’s to another AMAZING year of dance!Alyssa Mangum
