MCD Dance Academy
Important Dates and Upcoming Events
We are excited for a great year!
It is important that your child is at dance every week.
Remember – when you miss dance or when you are not prompt, the whole team suffers. Let’s commit to ourselves, our coaches, and our teams to be there and be on time. Please text if your daughter will be later than a few minutes and if she misses dance. We’re going to have a great year!
General Information
Tuition is always due the first dance class of each month. There is a $10 late fee if paid any time after the first week.
Parking: Please pull in vertically and not horizontally to the house. Make sure you pull in far enough that the tail end of your vehicle is not sticking too far out into the street (even though you may need to pull onto our grass). Do not pull in front of the mailboxes. We’ve had our dance studio for over 30 years but there is not a lot of room to park. My neighbors have been great, but we don’t want to get them upset with our parking situation. The driveway in front of the gate is ours but the other side of the gate is not. Thanks for your help and patience with this.
September
Classes have begun. Routines are started and in motion. If there are any girls struggling in our competition classes, then let us know. If your girl has complained a bit about “not getting” the routine and being stressed out about being behind. Please speak up and we can plan a private lesson. We do not want to cause anxiety, but want to build confidence. We want dancing to be fun and rewarding. It’s amazing what 1 or 2 private lessons will do. Private lessons are $20 for a half hour or $35 per hour.

*The dancers who come to Technique consistently have shown much improvement. We do stretch, work on flexibility, splits, leaps and turns. They also learn dance combinations to improve their ability to learn quickly. Most competition teams require that the girls take Ballet, Technique and some require Tumbling also.
Dance Jackets, leggings and sweats are available. Jackets are $50 child size and $65 Adult size. I am also getting sweatpants and flare leggings made with our logo on them. Leggings and sweatpants are $30 child size and $40 Adult size. Dance bags with our logo and dancers’ names are available too. They are $55. They make great Christmas gifts.
Our Blog is: mcddanceacademy.blogspot.com. The Instagram Account for MCD Dance Academy is:
“dancemcd” We will be posting things like upcoming events, team schedules, outfits, shoes that you will need to buy, girls who get their splits or amazing extensions or just some fun times at dance class, recitals and competitions. Etc.
I use group me and text as my main form of communication. I will be updating the blog with all important information come recital time, and competition time. You can always text me with questions. I will not respond until after 3:30 pm. I work and usually don’t have a chance to respond until after that time. You will get texts from me often after midnight hours. If this bothers you, let me know. Most of you will have your phones turned off. I’m just hoping you will see the text the next morning or day.
Thank you for dancing with us, we love working with your young women and children!
