NOVEMBER DT TIMES

DANCE TECH ACADEMY                 NOVEMBER 2010

Where those who want to dance become those who need to dance.

Dance Tech has changed its name to Dance Tech Academy to reflect the ongoing efforts of the dance school to educate its students in performance art. Watch for the new website, Facebook page, and other announcements about exciting changes at Dance Tech. 


From the Academy Director…
We have our first performances this month, and I’m looking forward to seeing all of the dances. I know this year is going to be great and you have the ability to be a profound influence in the community. As dancers, you affect so many lives and bring joy to our audiences. I believe the possibilities of this school are limitless, and together each of us can be the best. Choosing to be a dancer means sore muscles, tender feet, and endless practices. I know that each of you has made a commitment to the discipline of dancing, and it shows. I have every confidence in you, and I know that we succeed as a dance school because of efforts you make.
~Lori Webb Allred~

September 2010 News

Welcome to the 2010-11 season at Dance Tech!

The first week of classes are a little chaotic, but we are excited to see everyone and meet the new students. Dancing, cheer leading, and tumbling is good for your health, coordination, grace and confidence; for adults and kids. The other benefits is it gives kids something fun to do with their time, and helps them stay away from unhealthy addictions such as video games, television, drug use, etc. That is why at Dance Tech we love dance! 

Parking at Dance Tech

Please remember to leave the handicapped parking spaces open for those customers who possess a “Handicapped” permit. Also, avoid parking behind other vehicles, and avoid parking in the area that connects to the other side of the parking lot, thus blocking the way to get out. Always be cautious and watch for children being picked up or dropped off. 

New Incentives and Classes

Word-of-mouth is our best form of advertising, so we want to give you an incentive to help us get students in our low enrollment  classes. For any new student who registers for a class and identifies you as the referral, DT will credit your account $15. There is no limit. To make it easier to convince people to register, tell them we will give them $5 off their registration fee when they write down your name as their referral. Classes we need more students in are Toddler C & A (ages 2-3) at 10:00 AM & Noon; JBT-B & C (ages 3-4) at 3:45 PM and 9:15 AM; JBT-1 & 3 (ages 4-5) at 9:15 AM & 12:30 & 5:00 PM; Beg. Clogging (ages 6-11) at 4:45 PM; Cheerleading (ages 5-14); Combo Tech I (ages 7-8) 6:30-7:30 PM; Pre-Team B (ages 6-7) 6:30-7:30 PM; Hip Hop III (ages 11-13) 4:30-5:30 PM & Boy’s Hip Hop II (ages 9-12) 5:30 PM; Youth & Teen Tap; and any of the Adult classes. Tell your friends!

New class this year for adults is our Ultra Turbo 90! Beginning September 13 at 6:00 AM fitness specialist Brooke Floyd will help you reach your fitness goals in 90 days. Whether you want to lose weight or bulk up, dedication to this intense workout program will give you results. Stop in at the desk to sign up for the class. If you have a child enrolled in a class at Dance Tech you will receive $8 off the monthly fee.

Zumba is on hold, but will start up again – soon. With that, several Dance Tech Instructors will be Zumba certified by Oct. 2^nd, so you will be able to join the Zumba party on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30-7:30 PM.  Watch for other days and times we will be adding for those interested.
