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.

August 23/ Class Begins! J

Sept 6/ Labor Day/ No Class

Oct 25/ Harvest Holiday/ No class

November 22/ Thanksgiving Break/ No class

December 4/ Performance at Christmas Festival- Time T.B.A.

December 22 & 27/ Winter Recess/ No Class

January 3/ Classes begin again! J

January 17/ MLK day/ No Class

February/ $15 recital fee due with tuition

February 21/ Presidents Day/ No Class

April 25/ Last day of classes

April 30/ Recital/ Place and time TBA!

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

About Platinum Performing Arts!

Platinum Performing Arts was created in 2009. We are unique because our song and dance groups focus on vocals, dancing, acting and basic tumbling! As a child, I loved to sing, dance, act and tumble, but I found that I had to have 4 separate lessons for each! My parents were great and were able to send me to every lesson and activity I loved, but it got very expensive!

I created Platinum Performing Arts Center so that parents could get the most for their money! Our students learn how to sing, act, dance and tumble in the same place! After all, they are all connected! Dancers that can sing, get bigger parts in plays, and singers that can dance and tumble, get a lot more opportunities than singers that can only sing! Platinum Performing Arts will provide your child with experience and confidence in each of these areas!
