Welcome to Ms. Karin’s Spirit in Motion!
Thank you for choosing our studio to guide your children in exploring
all of the beautiful gifts that dance has to offer. It is our goal to
create a welcoming/nurturing environment where every child
regardless of ability or skill level can learn, be confident and have
fun! We want everyone to feel comfortable at our studio, so please
take the time to look over all of the following information as it should
answer any questions that may come up. You should keep this
packet in a safe place for future reference.
♥The first class of each month you should stop by the front desk to
pay your tuition balance. Please make sure to pay before the 10th of
the month or a $10 dollar late fee for each week will be assessed.
These late fees will be added to your balance, if not paid by the 10th
of each month.
♥ If tuition has not been paid for 2 months. Your child will be pulled
out of class until the tuition is made current.
♥Please make sure to “like” our business page on Facebook and
request an invite to our Facebook group page “Dance Class Important
Information.” Both places are a great way to keep up to date on
important dates and information flowing throughout the studio.
♥Parents & family may watch classes through the observation
windows at any time. As a courtesy, please leave room for others to
watch as well.
♥Please do not bring fast food or any drinks that do not have a lid to
secure your beverage! Please clean up after your child and
encourage them to clean up after themselves after leaving the
studio for the day.
♥Please keep attention to children playing in the lobby, as this is our
dance home and we want to keep it a clean and healthy
environment for all of our dancers and dance family members.
♥Please do not allow toddlers to eat, drink or play rambunctiously in
the lobby. This needs to take place outside of the studio.
♥Drop off and pick up you dancer at the back of the studio. There
should be no parents or individuals entering the dance room from
the front, especially when class is in session. This is a curtesy to the
dancers and the teacher, especially while class is in progress.
♥At no time should any parent enter the dance room while class is in
progress, especially to pull a teachers focus away from the class or
students. Please refrain from pulling an instructor out of the classroom
in between classes as well. We have many outlets to communicate
with Ms. Karin. Please allow class time to be comfortable for the
students and the teachers. Your concerns are valuable to us, but will
need to be addressed away from the classroom format.
♥Ms. Karin wants to be there for everyone, but many times that is not
possible during class time and studio time. The needs of your child is
always at the top of her priority list.
♥ Please be respectful of Ms. Karin by not staying at the studio after hours
to speak to Ms. Karin about issues or concerns. Please do not come directly
before class either. Ms. Karin needs time to prep for class and stay focused
on your child’s class. In the evening she would like to go home to enjoy
dinner with her own family. Therefore, it is important to set up a time
where those concerns can be discussed one on one at a more appropriate
time. This way she can truly focus on your needs.
♥ Studio doors will open 10 minutes till the beginning of the first class for
the day. Again, Ms. Karin and her staff are prepping the studio or
preparing for your child’s class. Please know that if you decide to come
earlier than that, the dance room is still closed until 10 minutes before your
child’s class time. Thank you for your understanding with this. 
♥Regular attendance for the students is very important, especially
before a performance. Regular attendance will result in your child’s
confidence in themselves and their feeling of success in their
classroom with their peers.
♥ Please notify Ms. Karin with any questions further questions.

PERFORMANCES...
Spring Showcase 2016 is scheduled for June 2016 at Stage West.
Exact dates TBA. Since we sold out our Spring Showcase so quickly
last year, we are looking into the possibility of two matinee
performances.
Costumes will be ordered for the students. Costumes run anywhere
from $70.00 to $90.00. A costume deposit of $20 per class is due the
first week of October with the remaining balance due the first week
of December. Each parent will receive an invoice with a breakdown
of each costume piece, keeping you informed of the actual
itemized costume pricing. Please Note: there are no refunds on
tuition, dancewear or costumes!
This year we will not be including tights or recital t-shirts into your
costume fees. These will be sold separately. T-shirts run around $12$16 per shirt.
Parents will be responsible for purchasing the exact shoe that is
stated on the studio policy dress code.
We have a file listed at Dance Tampa’s Anderson location. This
resource is available to assist you in obtaining your shoes and tights
required for class & recital.
Spring Recital tickets will be $15 a person at the studio and $16 at the
venue on the day of the show. We will do a lottery for seating, as we
have done in the past.
Thank you for the interest and devotion you have put into our studio,
allowing us to make our dance studio a wonderful place for your child
to flourish!!
