Private Lesson Signup Genius

Cheryl has updated the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius. Click here to access the Signup Genius. Everyone must wait until they receive the email before signing up.

Make sure that you note on the Signup Genius whether you are signing up for your dancer’s solo, duo, or trio rehearsal.   Please make sure that only 1 mom or dancer signs up for a given slot for a duo or trio.

You may only sign up for one slot each time new dates are posted. After 3 days, if there are still spots open, dancers who do not have a solo/duo/trio and would just like a private lesson for technique are eligible to book. These dancers should be prepared to come to their private lesson with an agenda of what they want to work on. 

Dancers, please remember the following:

  • Please bring your music to the private lesson.
  • Please bring payment (Note: fee increases to $45 for a 30 minute session for both Madison & Cheryl) at the start of each rehearsal.  There is no option to have this charge added to your FootNotes account.  All dancers must pay the instructor directly by either check, Venmo, or cash.
  • If your dancer is unable to attend your booked rehearsal session, you must notify FootNotes at footnotesdance@comcast.net, at least 24 hours ahead of your scheduled time.   If you ‘miss’/forget a rehearsal that you have signed up for, you are still responsible for the payment to the instructor.
  • As always, dancers are always free to book an empty room to practice on their own.

NEW 2024-2025 Vibe Varsity Jacket Update!

Reorders for our current Vibe jacket style are no longer available. Cheryl is working with a new jacket supplier for this year and will be ordering a NEW Varsity letterman style jacket for new dancers as well as for dancers that already indicated the need for a new jacket this season. The new Varsity letterman style is a softer, less rigid version than a traditional high school letterman jacket.

WE WILL NOT FULLY TRANSITION ALL DANCERS TO THE NEW VARSITY JACKET STYLE UNTIL NEXT SEASON, however, returning dancers DO have the option to purchase the new jacket style this year if they choose but it is not a required purchase for this season. 

Click here to access the NEW Vibe Varsity Jacket order form. A response is needed from ALL dancers, whether or not you choose to purchase the new jacket style.  All responses are needed by Friday, Oct 11th. 

We will not have any samples of the new style to try on so please order based on your dancers measurements per the NEW Varsity jacket sizing charts provided in the order form.  We have also included the sizing chart from the previous jacket style for sizing reference.
