Schedule Change...

ATTENTION!!!

Fall Registration

Hi FFAM families. As my Homeschool books arrived and I began to get
the homeschool room organized to teach in a just over a week, I
realized something, "It's time for fall sign up for Dance at FFAM"!!!
I can't believe summer went by SO FAST. I say that EVERY year, but I
REALLY believe it this year!!!! I hope you and your sweet family have
had a VERY BLESSED summer and that your preparation for the school
year is one of excitement and joy as you prepare for your child's
growth in school and extra curricular activities.

We will have sign up for FFAM Dance next Saturday, Aug. 4, 2012 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. in front of the dance studio at Faithbridge Church. There will be two New Student orientations that you will need to attend for your child
if they are new to FFAM. There will be an additional orientation offered the 2nd week of dance (in September) if you are unable to attend either of these orientations. It is important that you attend one of the 3 orientations so that we can explain how our Dance Ministry differs from traditional Dance Studios and it allows you the opportunity to ask questions prior to your child's enrollment.

A copy of the current schedule is available for you to view prior to sign ups on Aug. 4 on our blog at www.weareffam.blogspot.com .

You will not have to pay tuition until the first week of class (Sept. 4). The only financial requirement you will have on Aug. 4 is a $25 registration fee (per child) to save your spot in the dance class you wish to sign them up for.

We have kept our prices the same this dance year with the exception of the Beg A, Beg B, Intermediate and Advance classes. We increased the price of additional classes by $5 in these age groups only. We are very happy to continue to offer our other classes at the same reasonable prices as last year.

If you have any questions concerning sign ups you may email us at weareffam@gmail.com. If it is questions about the dance year, please come to one of the orientations and we will gladly answer your questions. We look forward to seeing you and hearing from you!!

Blessings,
Rhonda Surber, FFAM Dance Director
Melissa Bliss, FFAM Associate Director

From the Director

Hi FFAM families. I wanted to remind you this is our LAST WEEK of
regularly scheduled dance classes. We will NOT have dance classes next
week (April 30-May4), the week of the recital. We will ONLY have the
rehearsal (May 3) and recital (May 4) next week. We will start the
rehearsal at 4:30pm. I will open the sanctuary area for questions
beginning at 4:00 pm. I will attempt to answer as many questions as
possible prior to 4:30pm so that we can start right on time. In
regards to the recital...it will begin promptly at 6:30pm. Your child
needs to be at the church and in their dressing room by 5:45pm. ALL
parents, siblings and guests will be asked to leave the dressing rooms
by 6:20pm. NO ONE will be allowed back into the dressing rooms past
this point. This is for the protection of the children and the ability
to control the crowds in the hallway during performance time. We will
have assigned adults and youth in the rooms w/ your children who will
help them get dressed and provide supervision to them while you sit w/
your family and enjoy the ENTIRE show. We ask that NO CHILD be picked
up from their dressing room prior to the end of the show because there
is a brief award presentation at the end of the recital.

I will need anyone who did not have their picture taken by Justin
Stricklin to send me a picture of their child that they would like
used in the slide show at the recital. It needs to be a picture of
your child in one of their costumes. Please email it directly to me at
rhondasurber@gmail.com.

For Tumbling Tots, Beg A and Int/Adv students that will be
participating in Tumble at the beginning of the program, you will need
to wear black shorts (w/ elastic or bike shorts) w/ your purple
recital t-shirt. For all other students, they will need to bring their
purple recital t-shirt and they will wear it at the end of the show
during the award presentation. They will also need to wear black
shorts, but they WILL NOT be performing Tumble during the show.

Lastly, ALL RECITAL FEES and APRIL TUITION is PAST DUE. You will need
to provide ALL OF YOUR FINAL PYMTS by Thursday. There are NO
EXCEPTIONS to this.

Please refer to our blog spot at www.weareffam.blogspot.com re:
questions concerning the tights color your child should wear w/ their
costume, shoe color or how their hair should be worn for the recital.

I am SO EXCITED to be at this point in the dance year and I am looking
forward to our recital night. It is going to be a blessing to all as
we share God's message "Until the Whole World Hears".

Blessings,
Rhonda Surber, FFAM Dance Director

Recital Costumes

All Recital costumes have been ordered! They should all be here by mid-April.  There is a new page above titled "Recital Costumes and Information", it has pictures of the costumes along with the requirements for hair, tights and shoes. Most every class is to wear their hair in a bun; if your child's hair is not long enough, then please speak with their teacher(s) to find out what they would then like.  ☺ 

Just wanted to remind everyone who attends dance class on Monday's, that there WILL BE dance class Monday, Jan. 16.

I know that kids are out of school to celebrate the MLK holiday, however, the church office is not closed, so we will be open also.

We will not close again until Spring Break, March 19-23.
