Welcome to Dawn’s Dance Studio’s 8th Season

To Our New Families:  The staff and faculty at Dawn’s Dance Studio welcome you.  You are entering a
new world as you begin to study the art of dance at DDS.  Remember that one is never too old or too
educated to explore the numerous aspects of dance, because the knowledge derived from dance is
endless!

To Our Returning Families:  Thank you for your support and welcome back!  You have chosen DDS as
your dance school.  Once again we are dedicated to teach you more than how to dance, but also the
development of your mental, physical, emotional, and artistic growth; which is your coordination,
poise, grace, flexibility, strength, self-confidence, self-discipline and self-respect.
To our Parents:  By enrolling your child at DDS, we appreciate that you take an active role in assisting
your dancer by a genuine, enthusiastic and positive interest in your child’s progression.  You must also
trust that we as the staff and faculty will make the decisions in your child’s best interests.
His/Her welfare is first and foremost.  

New Students:  Entering DDS you must take a trial class to assess proper placement and to ensure the
best possible class schedule.  The instructor will evaluate by considering age, experience, # of years
dancing, dance history, progress, pace in “picking up” material, physical development, attitude and
work ethic in class.  If there are any changes you will be notified by the next class of the appropriate
class the student belongs.
Congratulations
to Ashley
