Things to be aware of:

2. Please make sure your child(ren) do not play in the parking lot. We want to avoid any accidents. Those waiting for dance, please bring homework, a book, games …etc. to minimize running around in between classes.
3. If your children bring food, please be sure to eat in the lobby area only. Please, no juices or sodas, they cause a sticky mess. Water only.
4. Parents are invited to come and watch/video tape. If your presence or your children are disrupting class you will need to watch in the waiting area.
5. Competition fees will be included in your monthly tuition (except for recreational classes). This will spread out your payments for competition.
6. The monthly competition fees are an estimate. There may be additional costs for competition fees depending on how many routines your team competes & the varying costs of each competition.

Remember to Bring a Water Bottle-There is no drinking fountain. We want you to stay hydrated. Please no juice or soda.
Dance Wear -Please wear clothing that you can dance in. Denim pants are too restrictive. Dance pants, stretch pants or shorts work better. Remember to wear shirts that will cover the essentials when you touch the ground. The low wasted pants sometimes ride a little low, especially when we are working on ripples and such. Remember we want to be modest!
COOKIE DOUGH FUNDRAISER- We still have extra boxes of cookies to sell. Please contact Sheree Henderson (221-5270) if you are interested in making more money for tuition, costumes, etc.!

Practicing Tools
1. Many parents video tape their child’s teacher teaching new steps to help them practice at home. This is a great practicing tool.
2. Solo DVD’s can be purchased for $20.00 to help you practice the solo program. Each solo is performed slow, then fast and then each step is broken down on your DVD. If you would like to order a solo DVD pay your $20 in the tuition box and sign the clipboard with your name and level you would like to purchase. (it usually takes 7-10 days)

We are changing our name this year to LaChere's Fab 5 Studio (Senior classes will still keep the Ultimate Dance Force name for your team name). The change will take place slowly. Please continue to write checks to Ultimate Dance Force. We will be doing new studio t-shirts with the new name.
Recreation students: your t-shirts were paid for at registration and you don't need to do anything.
Competition students: we will be keeping our colors, for the parade, you can still wear your UDF T-shirts (we probably won't have the t-shirts in time for the parade anyway).
If you want a new t-shirt, please try on a sample shirt today and fill out the order form at the studio. The shirts will have our new studio name on them.
