Thanks to all the parents who attended the PARENT MEETING on Wednesday night!

It was great to introduce the staff and give more detailed information on the Winner School Dance Program. If you were not able to attend, here are the highlights.

TEAM TEACHING:  

  • M/W Denae (ballet, jazz) Tracey (tap, jazz)
  • T/TH Kellie (ballet, creative movement) Emily (tap, jazz)
  • M/W 5K Denae (ballet, jazz) Emily (tap, jazz)
  • T/TH 5-7 Vicki (tap, ballet, jazz)
  • T/TH TEAM RzDz Vicki (tap, jazz) Denae (ballet) 


    We are excited for Team Teachers this year, every teacher is teaching in their area of expertise! We are hoping to eliminate outside subs, and keep our students on their toes!


Curriculum:

At the Winner School our dance program is very progressive. Every year the skills are age appropriate, and builds upon the last. We feel strongly about training in every genre and take great pride in producing well rounded dancers. No year is a "repeat" of the last!

Progression Night:

Progression Night is a mid-year performance designed to showcase the dancers' progression in every genre of dance. Each child will showcase a skill they have been mastering in tap, ballet, and jazz! The will also show the beginning of their dance for the Studio Performance in May. This year we will also have special performances by our Dazzles dancers.

Performances:

All the dancers in our beginning program perform in Progression Night and the Studio Concert in May. Every child is required to purchase one costume that will never exceed $85. Costume deposit are usually around $50 and due in January. Dancers in kindergarten thru 2nd grade compete in at least one Dance Competition locally. There is a minimal entry fee for all competing dancers. This fee goes directly to the Competition and the amount is not decided by the Winner School. Dance Competitions usually fall in the month of April. We will have dates to you as soon as possible!

** Please make sure you are receiving monthly calendars. Most of them have been sent home already. Extra calendars are available outside Room 1.

We are looking forward to a FABULOUS year! Thanks for your continued support of the Winner School programs. WE LOVE your children, and are thrilled to watch them grow!!!!

-Ms. Emily
