Center Stage is going green

In an effort to save a few trees and to save myself (and you) a few dollars, I will begin publishing all information on this blog instead of the printed newsletter. This change will take place beginning with the November newsletter. I will also be emailing a pdf of the newsletter by request. If you do not have email, please let me know and I will print a copy for you in the office.

Secret Santa Shop

Center Stage will be hosting a Secret Santa Shop for children to come and shop for Christmas presents for their parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. Gifts price range from $1.00 to $5.00 .Center Stage will help the child pick out the gift and wrap it at no extra charge. Parents may drop off their child to shop or enjoy some tea and desserts from “Grammy Cakes” while their child shops. This is also a great time for parents to shop in the dance store for their child, or look through dancewear catalogs and place orders.

Secret Santa Shop will be open on Saturday, December 5th, and again on Saturday, December 19th from 10am – 2pm.

Halloween Night Haunted House

Center Stage and the Bolivar Downtown Committee have joined together to bring Bolivar a Halloween Night Haunted House!! This Haunted House cost $1 to get in and it is open to the public. The doors will open at 6pm, so bring your friends and come by for a scare!! We will tame it down for younger kiddos, and of course turn it up for the big ones!! We will be handing out candy as well, so be sure to stop by! Bring the whole family and tell all your friends! We will still be having our annual Fall/ Halloween party at the studio as well with the spooky walk through for all of the students, but it is not the same as the Haunted House!!

Fundraiser

We are doing a fundraiser for the dance studio and your child should be bringing home the information by the week. There are some awesome prices your child can win for selling candles to help the studio raise money for a new trophy case and to help send all students interested in going to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2011. You must be a high school student to attend. This is an expensive trip so we are going to be doing lots of fundraisers to help with the costs!! Candles are in the office for you to smell and see. They are wonderful candles that last a long time and fill the house with yummy smells. They are great gifts as well, so go out there and SALE SALE SALE!! Please collect the money when you place the order. Orders are due by Monday, October 26th to ensure that they will be in before Thanksgiving. Thank you for your help and support in the fundraiser!!

Sale on dancewear

We have a lot of stuff on sale in the store right now trying to clear out the older stuff to hopefully bring in some new before the holidays. If you see something you really like and I don’t have your size I can get it for you, just ask. Make sure you get your students shoes and the proper attire now!!! We are going to be very strict on what your child is wearing during dance class this year!!!! Please refer to the Welcome to Center Stage to know what your child should be wearing to dance class. NO JEANS!! Tights and leotards, please!!!! If you have any questions, see Miss Terri.

We are off to another great year...

Well, we are off to another great year and already it seems things are flying by! Lot’s of stuff coming up, so make sure you don’t miss out on anything!! If you haven’t ordered your shoes yet, now is a great time to do that. I would like to apologize for some of the delays in shoe orders. It seems this year was really bad for back orders, but I think most of them should be coming in by now. Sorry again for the delay!

Please take a look at the Calendar of Events and mark your calendars now!!! We are always so busy this time of year all the way through the Holidays, plus there are some changes, so take note. More information about all of these events and studio news may be found on our website at www.bolivarcenterstagedance.com .

Thank you for your time and dedication, I truly appreciate all you do, and of course I love watching all of you dance!! Thank you parents for your dedication as well, I know all of you are busy and I truly appreciate all you do for the studio!!
