Some competition shoe selections that were originally TBD for PREMIER and PRODIGY have been added on the Shoe Buying Guide (new listings are highlighted in orange).  Please click here to access the Shoe Buying Guide web page, listed by dance group.  

REMINDER:  Please make sure that you select the correct dance group for your dancer, and make sure you are choosing the correct color to purchase.

ALL dancer’s shoes for this competition season should be in hand no later than Monday, January 11, 2021.

The Master Calendar has been updated with 1 update for Elite:

Sunday, January 10

• 1pm – 2pm:   ELITE  – Madison Small Group Rehearsal  (added)
• 2pm – 5pm:  ELITE Rehearsal (already on schedule)

Cheryl has updated the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius with January dates.  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.   Please only sign up for 1 slot for the first week the SUG is published.  After a week, you may sign up for a second slot if you wish.

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.

Happy New Year to all Vibe Members and Parents!!   We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week.  Regular FootNotes Classes resume on Monday, January 4.  

Reminder:  All rehearsals are mandatory from this point forward.

A Scheduling Note for January:  Cheryl is working on times during the week for each group to complete Dress Rehearsals (with full costume and shoes) during the group’s normally scheduled class time.  We will update you on your dance group’s schedule as soon as it is finalized.  Note that Moms are required at the Dress Rehearsal as any minor alterations, fit changes, etc. will be finalized and communicated at that time.
