The Allegro Spotlight

                               Allegro Performing Arts Academy

 

Spring is almost here and that means that we are getting closer and closer to our showcases!

 

We will be communicating with you as much as possible to help make the planning and organization for the show as easy as possible.  Please help us by reading your e-mails and coming in to the studio to read any posted notices!  Thank you, it will be much smoother if we all work together as a team!

                                                                          

Please watch your attendance in your classes between now and June.  We are starting to prepare for the June showcases and it is important that we have everyone’s participation and commitment. Thanks!

A

Please take special note of our dress code:

Hair – long hair up off neck (buns for ballet)

Ballet – Leotard, tights, skirts optional

Jazz, Lyrical – leotards and jazz pants or hot shorts. 

Hip hop – something comfortable, no jeans!

Tap – Comfortable, no jeans and your ankles need to be visible

Proper attire assists in getting the most out of your classes. 

B  

Allegro has a special payment plan for those who participate in Allegro’s fun summer classes and camps. 

If you would be interested in taking advantage of taking classes in July and August but only putting 50% down, please see Rosemary in the office.  The remaining balance would be paid September through November.

C

Allegro is having its last fundraiser to help pay for the new tap floor.

 

The cookie dough sale will be going on until March 11th.  Please let Rosemary or the receptionists know if you are interested in purchasing any.

 

D

For those of you who paid their Ordered Costume money in installments, your balance is now past due!   Please take care of this as soon as possible.

We hope that it has helped your family budgets to be able to separate the bulk sum into two smaller amounts.

E

Do you know of a friend who is thinking of joining…or are you thinking of adding another class?

The middle of March is the deadline for being a part of our June Showcase and for ordering costumes.

Of course, one can always participate in any class and opt out of participating in the show.

 

F

When picking up your child(ren) after class…

 

Allegro’s priority has always been to protect and nurture all of our students.

Please do not ask your student to wait outside for you.  We would prefer for them to wait inside and look out the door.  This is entirely for their safety and well being.  Thank you for understanding.

 

Happy Birthday to Tiffany and Tonya!

 

G

Costumes for the June Show! 

The ordered costumes should be here in April and may.

Costumes that were not ordered are in the works – we will inform you of prices and payment dates very soon.

 

Please do not purchase any shoes, tights or costumes pieces until it is decided on and written in the costume binder that will be in the lobby very soon.

 

 

H –Happy Birthday to our March Babies!!

Food in the student lounge:

Please know that if you leave food in the fridge that spoils, we will throw it away.

 

Also, in an effort to keep our studio clean, we will  throw out any food that is left out on the counter  after 8:15pm in the student lounge. (As this is the time that we start cleaning.)

Congratulations to January’s Performer of the month

K

     Summer and Fall Schedules are in the process of being created already!  They will be out by early May. 

Early registration for the fall schedule will begin for our current students as soon as the schedules are printed and passed out.

This means that current Allegro students get first pick at the most popular classes. 

Open registration will begin on

the first day of summer classes.

We hope that having our schedules out even earlier will assist you and your family on being able to plan your schedules with more ease and less stress!

 

L

Class Placements for Summer and Fall classes

 

Here at Allegro, each teacher will fill out a form for each student communicating their progress to both the student and their parents.

These forms will be completed and passed out in May  so that you can appropriately plan on which class to register for.

 

M     

Watch week!

We hope you all enjoyed watching your child(ren)’s class(es) last week.  It is so important to us that you see what your child is learning and how the instructor’s teach.  We are interested in hearing your feedback from your experience during watch week, please e-mail us at allegroacademy@earthlink.net   Thank you so much!
