Reminders:

• Please be at the studio for check-in at 8:30AM.
• Please make sure your dancer comes to the workshop with a water bottle, along with healthy snacks and lunch.

Lastly, Cheryl is actively working on rehearsal schedules, keeping known schedule conflicts in mind.   We will publish rehearsal schedules/choreography completions, as soon as she has firm dates and times.    Reminder….please keep your weekends in October open.   She knows for sure that Elite, Ovation, and Premier will have rehearsals sometime during the weekend of October 1….dates and times to be determined.

We are excited to announce schedule details of the upcoming iN House DANCE  Workshop at FootNotes!   

Cherrise Wakeham, along with other amazing dance instructors, will be conducting this workshop on Saturday, September 24.  It is sure to be a great day of dance learning!  Click here for the detailed schedule.

As always, since we are the ‘host studio’ for this workshop, please have your dancer make every effort to welcome dancers from other studios to FootNotes!
