Monday Tuesday and Thursday classes will be at the same times the week of Halloween.

If your child is selling candles for our fundraiser you need to get your candle orders in so she has time to get fall candles back to you before Halloween.  This is a great fundraiser.  your child can us her credit towards anything in Va-Dels.

Your child's $65 costume deposit is due by the 15th of Oct.  This mandatory!

We have to get her deposit so we can pay them to get a spot.  It is no-refundable.

If your child is new in cheer this year and you haven't paid $25 for her pom poms then you need to do so.  We are placing a pom pom order on Friday.

Every child must keep current each month on monthly tuition.  You cannot carry your bill into the next month.  If you paid late in Sept and you didn't pay the $15 late fee then you need to bring it to us now.

We need every child to hand in her release from for dance.  You can print one from an earlier post or get one from the studio.

Zumba classes will be starting Kimberli White is Zumba Certified and will begin teaching Zumba Fitness Classes on Monday October 22.  She will be teaching Monday and Friday mornings from 6:00-7:00 am and Wednesday evenings from 8:30-9:30 pm at the Va-Dels Dance Studio.  If you are interested please call her at 435.279.5300 or visit her website at www.kimberliwhite.zumba.com

Fundraiser - Costume Deposit -

Every dancer and cheerleader must fill out our release form and hand it in.  We gave every student a note at our first lesson.  It had the release from on it.  Parents must sign and return by next week.  Do not cut it off, please bring the full note.  If you cut it off you need to sing and return another one by next week.

Every girl needs to wear dance clothes and dance shoes to her classes.  No long dance pants, unless she can roll them up to her knees.  Spankies (cheer shorts) are the best to dance in.

Girls taking cheer need to wear cheer (tennis shoes) to cheer class.  If your child is in Pee Wee Cheer or Jr. Cheer and does not have our pom poms then you will need to bring $25 for her pom poms by next week.
We need to get them ordered.

If your child is doing a solo (individual) we encourage her to take technique.

Kim Veibell White will be teaching Zumba classes.  She is certified and will be starting the month of October.  More info on next note.

We will be selling Salt City Candles for a fundraiser.  If your child wants to do our Salt City fundraiser then you must follow all the rules.  You have until Oct 15 to hand in her orders and money.  Please keep in mind that sometimes they get back ordered on Holiday candles, so hurry and get your orders placed.  Your child will make $5 off every candle she sells.  She can use her money to pay her deposit towards her new costume or anything in Va-Dels.  She must hand two envelopes into us.  One envelop should have her order and money for candles.  Put her name on the front of the envelope.  Make a copy for you so when you get your candles you know who they go to (cash only!).  In the other envelope you need to put her $5 X each candle she sold.  Write on the front to her envelope her name (cash only).  We will not accept any checks.  We will not place her order without her credit money.  Its too hard to keep track of everything if it is not done right.

Every child in Va-Dels will owe $65 (no-refundable) deposit toward her new costume by Oct 25.  You can sell candles to help pay her deposit.  We have to place our order for custome in Oct.  On Stage Dance Wear will not let us place our costume order without a deposit.

We expect your child to pay tuition by the first lesson of each month, after the 15th we will charge a $15 late fee.  This will be enforced!

We love our job and we love teaching your child and like any job we expect to be paid for our work.  We are sure you can understand and appreciate this.

If you are still interested in having your child in our Hip Hop class or if you are interested in our Mom & tot class, then you need to call us.  We will be starting these classes in Oct.

We will be going to Thriller in Logan on Friday Oct 19th.  It's for girls 6th grade and Older.  The tickets are $16.  It would be a great Mom/Daughter fun night.  It is an awesome dance show.  If you are interested then you need to have your money to us by Sept 15th.  We want to hurry an order them so we can all sit together.
