Jump Into Our Cheer Clinic

Spirit, Strength & Sidelines at RFTB

There’s something special about cheer. It’s bold, it’s energetic, and it brings dancers together in a way that builds both confidence and connection.

This April, we’re bringing that energy into the studio with our Cheer Clinic: Spirit & Sidelines is a 90-minute, high-energy experience designed for dancers ready to try something new.

Whether your dancer is curious about cheer, interested in pom, or simply loves to perform, this clinic is the perfect introduction.

What We’ll Explore

During this clinic, dancers will be introduced to the building blocks of cheer technique, including:

• Strong arm placement and sharp motions
• Clean lines through wrists, arms, and legs
• Basic footwork and coordination
• Rally chants and sideline cheers
• Performance energy and team spirit

It’s not just about learning the movements it’s about learning how to perform them with confidence.

Why Cheer?

Cheer is an incredible complement to dance training. It builds:

• Strength and precision
• Musicality and timing
• Projection and performance quality
• Teamwork and leadership

And most importantly… it’s FUN.

A Perfect Fit for Pom Prep

If your dancer has shown interest in pom or performance-based styles, this clinic is a fantastic stepping stone. The skills we’ll focus on directly support the sharpness, clarity, and performance quality needed for pom routines.

Come Try Something New

At Reach For The Barres, we believe in giving dancers opportunities to explore, grow, and discover what they love.

This clinic is designed to be welcoming, energizing, and confidence-building, whether it’s your dancer’s first time trying cheer or they’re ready to expand their training.

Saturday, April 25 | 2:00–3:30 PM
Spots are limited, and we can’t wait to cheer them on.

Be Part of What’s Next ✨

As we begin dreaming and planning for our upcoming season, one of the most important voices in the room is yours.

We’ve created a short feedback form for our studio families to help us better understand what’s working well, what your dancer is loving most, and how we can continue to create a schedule and experience that supports your family.

This includes everything from:
• Class interests for next season
• Preferred days and times
• New styles or programs your dancer may be curious about
• Anything else you’d love to see at the studio

✨ We kindly ask that you take a few minutes to complete one form per dancer within the next week.

Your feedback truly helps shape the experience we create, and we’re so grateful to grow alongside our community in a thoughtful and intentional way.

Spirit Week is Here!

Let’s Celebrate, Dress Up, and Dance It Out

There is something extra special in the air at the studio as we head into the final stretch before Spring Break… and it can only mean one thing.

Spirit Week is back.

From March 23–29, we are inviting every dancer to step a little more boldly into their creativity, their confidence, and their community as we celebrate a full week of themed dress-up days inside the studio.

This is one of our favorite traditions each season. It is playful, expressive, and full of those small moments that turn into lasting memories.

What is Spirit Week?

Spirit Week is our invitation for dancers to show up as themselves in a new way.

Yes, we are still focused on growth, technique, and training, but this week gives dancers permission to layer in imagination, personality, and fun. It is a reminder that dance is not just about steps. It is about expression, connection, and joy.

Whether your dancer goes all out or keeps it simple, they are part of something bigger the moment they walk through our doors.

Why We Love This Week So Much

At Reach For The Barres, we believe confidence is built through moments like these.

Moments where dancers feel seen.
Moments where they laugh with their classmates.
Moments where they get to try something new without fear of getting it “right.”

Spirit Week is not about the outfit. It is about belonging.

A Few Quick Reminders

  • Please ensure all outfits allow for safe movement in class

  • Dance shoes are still required

  • Participation is always optional, but always encouraged

Let’s Head Into Spring Break Feeling Connected

Spirit Week is our way of closing this chapter of the season with energy and joy before we pause for Spring Break.

We cannot wait to see the creativity, the confidence, and the community come to life in every studio room.

Be sure to tag us on Instagram @reachforthebarresla so we can celebrate your dancer all week long.

Let’s show off that RFTB spirit. We will see you in class. ✨

 

Celebrating Faith’s First Anniversary

Some people walk into a room and immediately make it feel brighter. At Reach For The Barres, that person is Ms. Faith.

This month we are celebrating Faith’s one year anniversary with our studio, and what a year it has been.

As our Director of Delight and First Impressions, Faith is often the very first person families connect with when they begin their journey at Reach For The Barres. From answering questions and welcoming new dancers to helping families feel supported behind the scenes, she plays an important role in shaping the experience our community has every day.

Faith has a special way of caring for both our families and our team. She brings warmth, positivity, and a spirit of joy into the studio that is impossible to miss. Whether she is helping a new dancer feel comfortable on their first day, supporting a parent with enrollment, or jumping in to help wherever it is needed, she does it with heart.

Around here we like to say Faith has a bit of a secret formula. In this past year Faith has helped welcome dozens of new dancers into our community while supporting the daily rhythm of the studio with care, organization, and a genuine love for what we do.

Most of all, she reminds us that what we are building here is more than a dance studio. It is a place where families feel known, supported, and excited to return each week.

Faith, thank you for the joy, laughter, and heart you bring to Team Reach. We are so grateful to have you with us and cannot wait to see what’s yet to come.

Please join us in wishing Ms. Faith a very happy anniversary at Reach For The Barres. 🧡
