February Newsletter
Happy FEBRUARY!
It’s time to show some LOVE! We have had such a wonderful first half of the season with you all. As we continue into the new year and summer concert season, we encourage you to spread love and gratitude to your teachers, fellow dancers, and YOURSELF!
KUDOS CARD MONTH
All month long, your instructors will be showing a little extra love with KUDOS CARDS. If they see something special like an “Extra Mile Smile” or you’ve officially been inducted into the “Splits Club,” you might be awarded a brag tag that you can place on your dance bag with pride!
I 💓ELITE RAFFLE
Dancers can grab a heart at the front desk to declare the reasons why you love dancing at Elite. Grown-ups: don’t miss out on the fun. See below for details on how you can win a FREE MONTH of a dance class!

LOOKING AHEAD…
Level Placements and Evaluations
(Foundations Classes and Above + All Acro Classes)
Congratulations on a fabulous dance season so far! Your teachers are so proud of all your hard work, dedication, and progress.
Beginning Saturday, April 1, you will find your class evaluations and level placements for next season from each of your teachers in the Family Portal. These evaluations reflect what your teachers have been observing and working on with you all year as well as specific areas to focus on in order to continue to grow and advance through our program.
Summer Concert Updates!
If your Mini+ dancer is participating in our Summer Concert, she will try on her costume in class. Many costumes have arrived and will be tried on in the coming weeks! Once all students have tried on their costumes, dancers will take them home.
We are so excited to officially announce the NEW location for our 2023 Summer Concert: Victor J. Andrew High School. More concert information including detailed rehearsal schedules and ticket sales will be available in early spring. Please visit here for show assignments.
Dress Code Reminder
Please take a moment to make sure that your dancer is in proper dress code before coming to class. We want to make sure our classes stay looking their best all year!
Lost and Found Reminder
Be sure to check out our Lost & Found for any items you may have left behind. Simply ask the front desk for assistance and they will direct you to it. All items remaining in the Lost & Found on the 15th of each month will be donated.
Absence Reporting Reminder
If your dancer will be absent from a class, please record via the Family Portal. Makeup classes can be scheduled through April.
