Winter break for traditional Jordan District Schools is be from December 20, to January 4. Since our studio follows this the Jordan School District schedule this means our last class before the break is tomorrow December 16. Traditionally we have a Christmas party the last class of December.
A lot of you may be thinking "Another party?" I know it may look like fun and games...but in reality it is our theory day. For dancers theory is often the most tedious uneventful part of dance. I often hear them say I am taking a dance class not a French class. Turning theory into a party is a way to add "cheese" to the "broccoli of dance". So while to the casual observer it looks like we are eating candy and playing games I am sneaking in a lot of brain learning that will help your dancer in future classes and auditions. It is also a good time for me to observe what your dancer know on an individual level.
If you are inclined you may send you dancer with a treat to share with the class when we have parties. Please know though that this is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. They will not feel like the loser child if they don't have a treat.
Thank you again for letting me teach your children. They are learn a lot it is fun to watch them grow and progress.
