APRIL

• Pajama Week will take place from April 7th to April 11th—a fun and cozy dance week for everyone!

• TBDC Bunny Rabbit Break will be from April 17th to April 19th—Rest and recharge. TBDC will be closed. 

Recital & Coppelia Reminders: Our students are doing an amazing job as they prepare for the upcoming performances. To ensure they shine on stage, we kindly ask for your support in encouraging them to practice their choreography before rehearsal sessions. A proper warm-up before rehearsals is also important.

How to help your child prepare for a wonderful performance:

• Practice at home (pretty please)! TBDC has sent out videos of choreography, but it’s essential that students learn their dances without relying on these videos. The more they know their routines, the more confident they will be on stage!

• Private studio space: You can sign up for discounted studio time at TBDC for your child to practice on their own.

• Performance itineraries: Once these are sent out, please read through them carefully and order any needed dance supplies early to avoid last-minute stress.

• Personalized rehearsal videos: If you’d like a video tailored to your child’s specific corrections, we’d be happy to create one for you. All group videos will be sent out free of charge, but personalized videos are available as well, that will review their specific numbers/ spacing and provide personalized notes tailored to your child. :)

​

A Note Regarding Coppelia Rehearsals:

• For Younger Students: Please remind your child to be respectful during rehearsals. We’ve noticed some students arguing over spots and talking back to myself and other TBDC instructors. We ask that all students trust the staff’s direction, give their best effort, and avoid any disruptive behavior.

• For Older Students: If you’re invited to attend rehearsals on Friday or Saturday, please make sure to take class beforehand or actively warm up before rehearsal begins. We’ve seen students spending too much time talking or on their phones in the lobby, not warming up is unsafe—especially during colder months—and may lead to injury.

We appreciate your support in making sure all students remain focused, respectful, and prepared for their classes and rehearsals.

​

Looking forward to a wonderful month ahead!

Thank you,
