March 2024 Newsletter
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Our recital is just three and half months away- can you believe it? Recital dances are progressing, costumes are on their way and we're talking about the recital every day! As always, we look after all our kids and this is a place for them to grow, challenge themselves and find their passion. If your dancer needs any extra support at any time (a rough day or a situation), please do not hesitate to reach out to us. #AmdsMeansFamily

NEW THIS SRPING! ROLLOVER REGISTRATION!
Each spring your family receives the fall schedule recommending classes for each student based on their current level. Parents were responsible to then log into their Parent Portal, search for those classes and register.
So what is Rollover Registration? This year we are making your life easier. Your dancer will automatically be enrolled in their recommended classes. The recommendation form will still be mailed and will contain these classes as well as any classes you might want to add in different genres. Rollover registration will ensure our current families receive priority placement and reserve your spot for next fall. This past fall we experienced many classes hitting their max capacity quickly and resulted in waitlists for our current students. There will be an opportunity for families to opt out; more info on that to come.)
Dates:
May 1, 2024 all families cards will be run via auto pay for a Registration Fee of $25 per student.
June 1, 2024 all families cards will be run for September 2024 tuition.
How is this benefiting our families and dancers?
-Gives our current families class placement priority.
-Helps save our families time and confusion registering for 2024-2025 classes.
-Secures your Fall 2024 spot
AMDS will absorb the credit card surcharge on the registration fee run on May 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024 (which is your September 2024 tuition) as we will be charging the card on file on these two occasions. (NO CHECKS OR CASH)
More information and details to come.

Sometimes I hurt because I dance. Other times I dance because I hurt. Either way, dancing fixes it all.
