Pre-Registration for Companies and Prep Teams

Hello All,

It is getting close to Fall Registration, and to make it easier on those who took summer classes, we are going to do pre-registration for all Companies and Prep teams. This next week, August 18-21, you can sign your daughter up for fall classes during regular office hours. Girls who danced through the summer are not required to pay another registration fee, but a signature on the dancer's schedule will be required. This means ALL dancers must register, but it can be done this week during dance class times.

Also, we will be doing an order for the required hot shorts at this time. There are only a limited amount of hot shorts, so we will have the sizes there available for try on, with an order form, and will be placing an order.

Important Updates from Infinity Dance

ALL TEAM PLACEMENTS NOW FINAL:

As summer comes to a close, it is now necessary to make it clear that all team and class placements are FINAL and are not up for discussion. Mandy and the instructors have been watching the girls all summer, and any necessary adjustments have been made. The teams are now set, and routines are being taught. It’s going to be a great year, and we ask that you respect the decisions that have been made regarding teams.

DANCE FEVER ROOMS:

If you have not signed up for a room for Dance Fever, we need to have your RESERVATION by Monday. Money is still due by the same time, but we are trying to determine if we have enough rooms, and if we need more, we must reserve them by Monday.

BLACK HOT SHORTS

All Company and Prep team members are required to wear black hot shorts to ALL rehearsals. This includes the weekly rehearsal for your team. We will have a supply of them for sale during registration.

Dance Fever Registration Form

The Dance Fever registration form was sent home with all dancers this week. If you do not receive your form by Thursday evening, please ask your dancer about it. We try to make sure all forms are given to all girls, but you would be amazed at the amount of notes handed out that end up on the floor at the studio.

If you do not receive this form, you can also print it out from here:

Forms and payment are due August 19. Also, there are samples sizes of the shorts, hoodies, and socks at the studio. Remember that each girl receives a shirt with her registration, but the other merchandise is optional (but dang cute!).
