We hope that you are well and enjoying your winter break. We are very excited to be heading back to the studio in full force in Term 3! Our timetable has been altered slightly to accommodate for new classes and some combined classes PLEASE CHECK IF YOUR TIMES HAVE CHANGED BELOW!

We have a lot in store for Term 3, with a focus on Concert preparations. Attendance is very important at this time to ensure students stay up to date with their work. The Dance Lab Concert 2020 is booked for Sunday 6th December and at this stage will go ahead as planned. We will work with the Byron Theatre to make adjustments to our performance to fit in with any health and safety measures and requirements. 

Invoices will be sent this week for Term 3 classes. Costume invoices will also be distributed via email during Term 3. Please visit the ENROL page on our website for costume prices. 

Both the Active and Creative Kids vouchers are accepted at Dance Lab and processed as a payment. Amended invoices will not be issued. Please ensure to attach your dancers date of birth when sending your voucher.

TIMETABLE CHANGES 

There has been a slight change to the Saturday timetable please take note if your dancers attend on Saturdays.

A NOTE FROM AMY

If your child is in Kindergarten, Year 1 or Year 2, I would highly recommend dancing on a Saturday. Over the years I have taught many young students on various days and have seen more focus and improvement from Saturday students. Coming fresh in the morning, compared to the end of a school day can also affect their enjoyment of dance. I realize this is not always possible for families but something to think about.

Have a fabulous first week and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
