Cheryl and Jon Carr want to schedule additional time for Production Rehearsals next Saturday, November 16 (which is our rain date for group pictures…it looks like we will have good weather this Saturday).  Cheryl does not have a schedule from Jon yet.   So, ALL GROUPS, please keep the day open…we will be in touch with schedule details as soon as she hears from him.   Note that this date is in addition to the Sunday, November 17 Production Rehearsals already on the calendar (those times/groups will be communicated as soon as they are known).

The Master Calendar has been updated with a placeholder for Production Rehearsals on this date.

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.
