A NOTE FROM MISS KATE:

We hope everyone survived the frigid cold the past few days. I am currently In Florida for Studio Owner's University and it's in the 30s here and snowing! Not the weather any of us were hoping for, but I guess at least it's a lot warmer than it is back home.

Most of you hopefully know that LDC has been a part of an amazing organization, More Than Just Great Dancing, for the past 8 or so years. It's a group of like minded studios and the founder and my mentor, Misty Lown, is a fellow Wisconsinite and leads us all. You see her "famous to us" quote on our lobby walls...

"We don't teach kids to make great dancers. We teach dance to make great kids."

I want to thank my amazing team for holding down the fort while I am away and I can't wait to bring back all the great ideas and knowledge I pick up while I am here. Never stop learning!

~Miss Kate

Final Week of Student Choreography!

The dancers will get a chance to show their classmates and potentially another buddy class too. No formal "show week" for the parents this week, but we encourage you to peek through the window if you're in and admire the creative process and products!

What they learn during this process:

How to come up with ideas

Work as a team with a group of their peers

How to teach their teammates the moves they created

How to build a dance, make formations and use different levels

And SO much more...it's such a valuable exercise and one of our favorites!

MISSED CLASS MON/TUE DUE TO THE COLD?

You are more than welcome to come do a makeup class in a class (can be the same or different style) in your age group next week.

NO NEED to pre-schedule! Just show up, stop at the front desk and we'll make sure you get to the correct room.

You can find the schedule HERE on our website.

FUN STUFF!!!

• WAVE GAME: Last Saturday our Performing Company rocked it at the WAVE game performing at Halftime. We are so proud of them and big shout out to Miss Deanna, PC Director, for leading this team.

• NEW BABY ON THE WAY: Congrats to Miss Baylee! She and her husband are expecting their first baby early this summer. We are so happy for them both!

• LOOKING AHEAD: The week of Feb 3 we will start the recital costume handout process! More details to come next week, but just wanted to give you something to look forward to!

REMINDERS &

DID YOU KNOW?

** We need your help! **

We know it's cold and the kiddos are going StIR cRAzY being stuck inside, but we have had quite a lot of running around in the lobby and making quite the mess in the playroom, lobby and other common areas.

* PLEASE make sure your kiddos are being respectful of our dance space *

~ Clean up any messes

~ Keep food OUT of the playroom

~ NO running in the lobby halls

Thank you for your cooperation!

Girls' locker room!

We would LOVE if the dancers would use the spacious girls' locker room for their dance bags, coats and shoes. There are 50 cubbies, lots of coat hooks and plenty of room to store all of your things while you are in class.

This will help us keep our lobby floors clear of clutter which not only looks better but will be safer too. Nobody likes to trip on a shoe left on the floor!!

And please do NOT put your dance bags and shoes/coats on the work counter by the front desk. That area needs to remain clear for adults to use to work at (or kiddos to do homework at).

Thank you!!
