Welcome Boxes With A Twist

Exciting news, dancers and families! We’re kicking off Season 10 with a bang and giving our Welcome Boxes a major upgrade. This year, every student who enrolls will receive a personalized dance bag that’s not only stylish but also serves as a keepsake for their dance journey at our studio.

The Bag That Keeps on Giving

Here’s the scoop: These personalized dance bags are a one-time gift for enrolling this season, so hang on to them! What makes them extra special is that they’ll be adorned with a unique Season 10 patch/badge – an exclusive memento to commemorate this milestone year.

But that’s not all! Starting this season, your dancer will also receive a special dance badge for every season they complete with us, from Season 10 onwards. Think of it like earning those coveted Girl/Boy Scout badges, but for dance! I was obessed with collecting as many badges when I was a Brownie…IYKYK!

More Season 10 Goodies!

To celebrate a decade of dance at Reach For The Barres, we’ve packed even more excitement into your Welcome Boxes (for our Dance Besties):

  • Commemorative Tee: Show your studio pride with a special Season 10 tee, perfect for wearing anytime.
  • Coloring Fun: Get creative with a Season 10-themed coloring page, designed to spark imagination and keep those artistic hands busy.
  • Membership Card: Your official RFTB Seasonal Membership Card, granting access to all the magic being part of our dance family.
  • Handwritten Note: A personalized message from our instructors to welcome your dancer and express our excitement for the year ahead.

For you Parents:

  • Welcome Letter: A heartfelt note outlining all the exciting things happening this season and how to make the most of your dancer’s experience.
  • Referral Program: Learn how you can earn rewards by sharing the joy of dance with your friends and family.
  • Intake Form: Help us get to know your dancer even better! Fill out this fun form and bring it to their next class so their RFTB teacher can learn more about their interests and goals.

Badges, Badges, and More Badges!

We have some awesome new programs launching this season that will also offer opportunities to earn badges. Stay tuned for more details throughout the year as we unveil these exciting additions!

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

  • Hold on tight to those bags! They’re a limited-edition item and won’t be replaced.
  • Every season brings a new badge. Watch your dancer’s collection grow as they progress in their dance journey.
  • Badges aren’t just for show. They represent dedication, hard work, and a love for dance.

We’re so excited to introduce these new additions to our Welcome Boxes. It’s a small way to say thank you for being part of our dance family and to make Season 10 even more memorable.

Let’s dance!

SPIRIT WEEK SEASON 10

Valentine’s Day 2024

, , ,

Well, here we are again. At the end of another year. In today’s blog post, we will not be discussing technique, hacks or career how-tos. Instead, today we are simply here to say “Thank you”, and last minutes things to help you transition into recital with ease!

After coming off of a year that was like no other, season 8 was truly great. We watched you all grow in talent and technique. Our studios are full of bright and shining up and coming stars. We couldn’t be more proud.

Within this season it truly felt like the dance world has made it back on it’s feet. Curtains are rising on recital stages once again with ease. We are entering year 2 of facing new normals, and we are so happy to have had you along for the ride. We have worked our way back up from virtual dance classes to full dance studios. It has been such a joy having yet another year moving forward with our Reach For The Barres family.

With all the joy and triumphs our year is winding down, and our recital is right around the corner. With that we are excited to announce, that it’s going to be a spectacular show! Our students have worked hard in the studio to make sure their dances look flawless and fun! We have no doubt in our minds about the magic you are going to see on stage.

To our parents, we are so thankful that you allow us here at Reach to teach your children the art of dance. We know there is much that comes with being a dance parent, and know you are doing your part in making sure your child has everything they need to shine on stage! We truly can’t say thank you enough for all you do to support your dancer and know it’s a lot to keep track of. To make your job a little easier, we thought we would give you a mini list of everything you need in your child’s dance bag to have a successful show day.

Read through the list below and pack your child’s bag before the big day. You will be able to check a few things off your list so you can enjoy the moment with your child!

All costumes labeled with your child’s name.

It’s SO important to label your costumes. The last thing you want is to be missing an accessory or shoe when it’s time to dance on stage! Your child’s things could get mixed up easily so it’s best to be safe and mark your child’s initials into all your costume items, shoes, and accessories. Please make sure to mark costumes and shoes on the inside so we don’t see them on stage. This is especially important for our dancers in multiple numbers.

Dance shoes

This seems obvious but it’s worth saying, there is nothing worse than missing a shoe on recital day! Make sure to have your dancer try on their shoes before the big day to catch any holes or shoes that are too tight. Need new shoes? Stop by the studio where you can buy anything you need for the big day.

Extra tights

We have provided your dancers with tights in their costume bag. But we all know that tights can rip easily! Throw in an extra pair of tights for your dancer along with the ones they will wear on stage. That extra pair could save the day for your dancer!

Costume accessories 

Do any of your child’s costumes come with headpieces, layers, or other accessories? These items are just as important as your main costume to have in your dance bag.
