Vibe Holiday Party Update

Posted on by

Due to Covid, our annual Vibe Holiday Party will look a bit different this year.  Instead of one big party with all dancers, each dance team will have their own Holiday Party.  We want to make sure our girls have a great holiday celebration, but we also want to keep them safe.  This year’s party theme is “Mittens & Masks!”

Jessica McFarland and our holiday party committee have  been busy this week working on games, an activity, and gift exchange ideas that will be provided to Group Moms to try to keep each party consistent across all groups.   Your Group Mom will work with your team to find a date and location that works for everyone.  There will be a “details” communication going out soon to the Group Moms for coordinating the date, etc…..so hang tight on picking a date until you hear from Jessica.   

Our Philanthropy Chairs, Susie Koagel and Dayna Thomson, are also working with local charities on ways that we, as a team, can give back to our community and help those in need this holiday season.  More details to come.

Solo, Duo, Trio Privates – Signup Genius Available

Posted on by

Cheryl has created the Solo, Duo, Trio Signup Genius for this year for private rehearsals.   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.

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.

Thank you to everyone for coming out for the Big/Little Sister Reveal.  It was great to see all of our dancers at the park today!   Our pumpkin patch was filled with unique, creative and crafty pumpkins!  What a fun way for our Big Sisters to announce their Little Sisters!  A huge THANK YOU to Melanie Pursell and Angela Coppola for planning and coordinating such a fun event for our dancers!   We look forward to a great season for the “Sisters”.
