December Happenings

Happy Holidays Studio M!!

I hope the season is bringing you much joy!  I know it is for me…I just love seeing all the Christmas lights! 😉  This month has been a little crazy for us (per usual) but with out further ado, here are your DECEMBER HAPPENINGS!

HEALTH DEPARTMENT CLASSIFICATION

As you know these last two weeks we have been in our hybrid mode for many classes.  This decision had to be made due to an error from the health department.  They changed our classification from ‘Youth Activity’ to ‘Gym & Fitness Center’ which meant that our regulations needed to change.  After a week of communication, we are finally back to our original classification & we can resume our normal in-person classes!  Can I get a HECK YEA?! Our Covid policy remains the same: Tots & Littles parents ONLY; ONE parent per dancer; NO siblings; masks required; temperature checks for everyone.  We know those health department folks are completely overwhelmed so please send them some positive vibes & well wishes!!

JINGLE HOP

I will be choreographing a little Tik Tok style dance called the Jingle Hop.  It most certainly requires a prop so we sent a care package out to each family with a simple project included.  Please have your dancer create their jingle bell necklace & bring it with them next week.  They will learn the Jingle Hop in class & our hope is that at least one family member will also learn it (there will be a partner section).  The family partner can Zoom in to class or learn from the instructional video we will send out.  Don’t be shy…please learn the dance, film it with your dancer & either tag us on your favorite platform or send us the video so we can include you in our video montage!!  The sillier you get, the BETTER!! We would love to blow up social media with our dance & spread some FUN holiday cheer!!!  The silliest video – choreography must be included – will win a prize!!

HOLIDAY SPIRIT WEEK

Next week is our monthly Spirit Week!!  Please send your dancer to the studio in their favorite holiday wear.  Ugly sweaters, Christmas jammies, holiday colors…anything goes!  Make sure their belly & bottoms are covered, hair is pulled back & appropriate shoes are worn.  Also, if you would like to join us via Zoom, we would love for you to see the Christmas dances they have been working on. 🙂 

WINTER BREAK

Next week is our last week before Winter Break.  Please note that the studio will be closed from December 19th-January 10th.  Classes will resume on Monday – January 11th.  If you need to reach us, we will still be checking emails & answering the phone.  🙂
