👻 Boo-rrée!

Meet Ray, Our Friendly (and Educational) Ghost!

Happy Spooky Season!
As you can see, our fabulous Ms. Heidi has transformed into a very special Halloween guest:
Ray, our resident ballet ghost!

Around the studio this time of year,
we teach our youngest dancers how to glide across the floor with a little seasonal humor.
It’s the perfect way to remember those quick, beautiful steps!

Want to hear the classic dance joke that helps us remember our ballet steps?

Q: How do you scare a ballet ghost named, Ray?

A: You shout… BOURRÉE!

(A bourrée is a tiny, quick, linking step that makes us look like we’re floating!)

Next time you see Ray (or Ms. Heidi!), ask them to show you their spooky-fast bourrées! 💖

Spooky Moves & Super Progress

Season 11’s Halloweek Was a Treat!

Wow, what a week! Our first progress week of Season 11, Halloweek, was an incredible success. It was a blast seeing all of our amazing dancers embrace the spooky spirit and come to class in their fantastic Halloween costumes. From tiny princesses to sparkly superheroes, your creativity made the studio shine.

This Halloweek was all about allowing our dancers to elevate and celebrate the fantastic progress they have made over the first eight weeks of the season.

Celebrating Every Step of Progress

For our youngest dancers, from Toddlers up through 1st and 2nd Grade, Halloweek was a special chance to show off their growing skills. They dazzled us with their new steps, rhythms, and confidence. It is truly amazing to see how much they have bloomed in just a few short weeks.

Leveled Dancers: Lights, Camera, Action!

Our leveled classes (Grades 3 and up) celebrated their progress in style. These dancers got to show off their hard work by starring in a cool video showcase of their class moves. It is a wonderful way to capture their technique and passion as they continue to refine their skills.

A massive THANK YOU to all of our families for helping make this week so fun and memorable, from the creative costumes to the high energy.

Ready to Relive the Fun?

All the magic, including fun photos from the week and those cool class showcase videos for our leveled dancers (Grades 3+), is now loaded into your Parent Portal. Head over there today to download, share, and enjoy these adorable and inspiring moments of your kiddos celebrating Halloweek and their awesome progress.

Looking Ahead: Next Progress Performance Week!

Do not forget to mark your calendars! Our next observation (progress performance) week is scheduled for December 13th through December 19th, right before we head into our two-week winter closure and break. We can not wait to see even more growth and celebrate their dedication!

Until then, keep dancing!

Halloweek at Reach For The Barres

Hey Reach for the Barre Families! 🌟

Get ready to shake your spooky bones! 🎃 Halloweek is creeping up on us (October 25th-31st), and we’re throwing a ghoulishly-fun in-studio performance for our dancers in Toddler-Primary Classes!

On your dance day during Halloweek, one grown-up per dancer (in toddler to primary class) is invited to sneak a peek at the last 10 minutes of class and witness their amazing progress. It’s the perfect way for our tiny dancers to shine and build their confidence before our big recital! 🤩

Costumes are HIGHLY encouraged! Whether it’s a sparkly Halloween get-up, a past recital costume, or anything in between, let’s add some extra sparkle to the fun! ✨ (Psst… costumes can be a HUGE confidence booster for our little ones, so raid those dress-up bins! 😉)

Mark your calendars and get ready for a spook-tacular time! 🗓️

For our older dancers (Classes Level 1-3):

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you! We’ll be sending out a special performance video of your dancer’s class so you can catch all the action and see how much they’ve grown! 🎬 Be sure to download our app and accept your invitations into your class group to ensure you’re receiving all you class details.

Can’t wait to see you all there!
