I am now teaching at Dance Magic! Registration begins on Monday, August 13th, 2012 at the Dance Magic studio here in Cedar City. Go to www.mydancemagic.com for more information!

Students will be instructed in both vocal and dance training with opportunities for solos. This year we will be performing Disney medleys.

I will also be teaching cheer leading classes this year at Dance Magic.

Come check out our schedule and other classes offered on Monday!

Christmas Recital!

We had our Christmas recital on December 2 and all of my students did fabulous! I was so proud of them! I didn't get any action shots because I was too busy directing traffic. We had a great time though! I can't wait for everyone to see our Spring recital. It is going to blow your socks off!

These are my 3 & 4 year-olds. They are so cute and sweet.

This is my oldest class. 10-13 year-olds. I just love their costumes! They did awesome, and had fabulous stage presence!

These are my two little sweeties. They knew their parts so well that they didn't even need me to help them. This picture doesn't do them justice.

New Student Information!

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Platinum Performing Arts! I am so excited to meet all of our new students! Because we are starting in the middle of the month, August tuition will be pro-rated. The rates are as follows for each age group.

Ages 2-4/ $10 tuition + $15 registration fee = $25 due today

Ages 5-9/ $14 tuition + $15 registration fee = $29 due today

Ages 10 & up/ $18 tuition + $15 registration fee = $33 due today

If you want to prepay for September today the rates are as follows.

Ages 2-4/ August $25 + September $25 = $50

Ages 5-9/ August $29 + September $35 = $64

Ages 10 and up/ August $33 + September $45 = $78

December is a short month, so I am pro-rating that month’s tuition as well. Tuition for each month is due the first day of class of each month. A $5 late fee will be due along with tuition after the 2^nd week of class for the month.

Our classes include singing, dancing and tumbling so please send your student to class in appropriate attire. They should be dressed in clothes that will allow them to move. Please don’t send them in jeans; it’s especially hard for them to stretch if they aren’t dressed right.

Students will also need a pair of black dance shoes. Shoes can usually be found at Payless or Walmart for younger students. Older students can purchase a pair of dance shoes from Dance Magic or online. Please ask if you have any questions about what type to buy. Please make sure and bring them with their dance shoes for class. It’s hard to do turns and leaps without the right shoes, and socks are too slippery!

I will send home information about costume fees, along with your student’s new t-shirt and a practice CD at the end of September. Please encourage your child to listen to the CD a few times a week. This will help to reinforce what we are learning in class.

Because I keep my classes small, I like to know when students will be missing class. I would appreciate a text or a call if you know your student isn’t going to be able to make it.

We will be following the Iron County School District’s calendar this year for classes. If the district isn’t having class, we won’t either. Here is a quick list of important dates.

I will be accepting new students until the beginning of October, and again in January, so please tell your friends! If you refer a friend, and they sign up for the year, you will receive $5 off of your tuition for the month! There is no limit to the amount you can receive off, so if you sign up 5 friends, you get $25 off!

Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions about anything! I absolutely love teaching and I’m excited to get to know you and your student! We are going to have a fabulous year!

Thanks,

Jessica Ulrich
