The 2022 Vibe Performance Company Dance Showcase Videos are now available for purchase through EOD TODAY, March 1, 2022. We are offering the videos on USB Drive again this year. The videos are great for the dancer who likes to study her dances (and others) over and over again…Perfect for the family member who can’t make that trip to see the Dance Showcase…And, of course, a wonderful keepsake of the performance!

Click here to be directed to the Square website where you can purchase your video.

The videos will be available in a few weeks, via PICKUP at the Studio.    We will email you when they are available.

Cheryl has updated the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius with new dates in March. Click here to access the Signup Genius.

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.

NOTE: It is possible for these spots to be shared with 2 dancers. At this point, not everyone needs a whole 30 minute private session. If there are more dancers that want a private than we have spots available, Cheryl and Madison may choose to have a dancer share their private with another dancer. This will be at Cheryl/Madison’s discretion.  

You may only sign up for one slot each time new dates are posted. After a week, you may check again and sign up for one more open slot.  

Dancers, please remember the following:

• Please bring your music to the private lesson.
• Please bring payment ($35 for a 30 minute session with Cheryl or Madison) 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.

The Master Calendar has been updated with several dates and times. Please make sure you keep your dancer’s schedule updated.
