Welcome Back! 2015 was an amazing year, here are just a few of the wonderful highlights from it: whole school Love Dance show, performing at the O2 London, performing at Drayton Manor, preparing for exams and then dancers finished off the year with a Christmas Cabaret Show. 2016 is set to be just as good if not better! To keep up to date please follow the dance school on any of our social media platforms or visit the school website, which is regularly updated. January Class Sale – One Week Only! On the below dates classes will be at the reduced price of: 4th, 6th, 7th & 9th Jan. 1/2hr £2. 3/4hr £3. 1hr £4. Please adjust your fees accordingly. I will be unable to provide credit or send out reminders if you do not alter your own fees. Uniform - General uniform items can be ordered whenever required and are all exchangeable if the sizing is not right. Only uniform that has the AGSOD logo on it has to be ordered in bulk. The next AGSOD order will be made on the 30th January. Please make sure you use the size guide on the notice board as AGSOD uniform CANNOT be exchanged. All orders need to be paid for at the time of order and written out on an envelope. I will no longer be selling sneakers, apart from the few I have left in stock. If you need help ordering sneakers I can give you advice on where to purchase them from. Exams - The January exam timetable is on the notice board. Please check that your child’s name is spelt correctly and that he/she has been entered for the correct exam. January exam fees are due on or before the 28th January. If your child is taking an exam in March you will receive a letter about this over the next few weeks and the March timetable will be on the notice board on the 1st February. Class Fees - This is a polite reminder that dance fees need to be paid at the start of lessons on a weekly or half termly basis ONLY and that full fees are due for any missed classes . Please note that if a text reminder regarding fees is sent out more than once per half term a late fee will be added to your fees. Please visit the website to view the payment policy, where further details are available. Competitions - I am still waiting for all the details regarding competitions. At the moment competitions will probably be for students who are interested in doing a solo, duet or trio. If you are Amygreaves Schoolof Dance interested please let me know and as soon as I have all the information I will pass this onto you. Audacity Contemporary Youth Dance Company - 2016 sees the launch of our first ever in house dance company. Thank you to everyone who donated towards the nonuniform days and also the programmes at the Christmas show as we have raised £115.38 so far to help fund this project. There will be future fundraising events if you wish to get involved. Due to popular demand I am looking into seeing if a ‘Mini Audacity’ company for 7-9yrs can run as well. At the moment this is still something I am looking into and it is not a definite, as soon as I have more information I will let you know.
