REMINDER – we need your feedback by end of day today if you/your dancer is/are available for another Parents Night Out on Friday, December 13.   We currently do not have enough volunteers for the event to take place…so far, only 5 dancers and 2 moms that have expressed interest/availability.   There is no pressure if you cannot volunteer for this one, but we wanted to send out the reminder again today since we need to make a decision tonight on whether or not to have the event.     Details and Signup link listed below…

• Are you ‘up’ for volunteering for another Parents Night Out (PNO)?  Cheryl believes the December schedule will allow us to host another PNO on Friday, December 13.   However, we need to ensure that we have enough volunteers (both parents and dancers) before we advertise the event to FootNotes families.   If you are able to volunteer for a PNO event on Friday, December 13, please click here to sign up.
  • Click here to access the sign-up to volunteer for the Parent Night Out event.  Please confirm your interest in volunteering by this Wednesday, November 20 so that we have time to advertise and prepare for the event.   If we don’t get enough volunteers, we will not have the event.
  • Notes about volunteering:
    • Volunteers must arrive by 5:30pm to help setup and direction and are expected to stay until 9:15pm for cleanup.
    • Dancers: You will be expected to assist in various activities with the children, the entire length of the Parent Night Out event.  Dancers who volunteer can earn Beta hours for participating.
    • Minimum dancer age to volunteer is 12 years old.   If Mom/Dad has questions on whether your child should sign-up to volunteer, please feel free to email us at footnotesdanceblog@gmail.com.

REMINDER:

QUESTION:

• Are you ‘up’ for volunteering for another Parents Night Out (PNO)?   We had a very successful event earlier this month…we netted $489 in funds raised for Vibe.  A huge THANK YOU to Manda Wilson (event chair) and all of the parent and dancer volunteers that assisted with the event!  Cheryl believes the December schedule will allow us to host another PNO on Friday, December 13.   However, we need to ensure that we have enough volunteers (both parents and dancers) before we advertise the event to FootNotes families.   If you are able to volunteer for a PNO event on Friday, December 13, please click here to sign up.

The Solo/Duo/Trio Signup Genius has been updated – November dates for private rehearsals are now available (this is the complete list of dates that will be available for November).  There are openings still available for this Friday (10/25) if you have not had a private this month.  Note that when we get into December, there will be fewer openings available.    Click here to access the Signup Genius.

Reminders:

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

This Signup Genius link is also available on the Team To Do List webpage for easy access throughout the season.
