Season 10 Halloweek

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 classes ages 2.5 to1st-2nd grade!

On your dance day during Halloweek, one grown-up per dancer 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 (3rd grade and up):

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! 🎬 Keep an eye out for that during Halloweek, too.

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Introducing the Splits Club!

Introducing the Splits Club (& Patch): A Symbol of Flexibility and Determination!

We’re excited to announce a brand new club, and with it with a patch,  for our dedicated dancers to earn this season: The Splits Club!

This exclusive patch will be awarded to any student who achieves their splits – whether it’s a left split, right split, or a perfect center split. It’s a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the incredible flexibility they’ve developed through their dance training.

But that’s not all! Along with the patch, dancers who conquer their splits will also receive a special Certificate of Achievement to commemorate their accomplishment. And to celebrate we’ll be inducting all our Splits Club members at an End-of-Year Party where they can showcase their skills and enjoy some well-deserved recognition, and a sweet treat or two.

Patches: A Collection of Achievements

Remember those personalized RFTB dance bags you received at the start of the season? They’re not just stylish accessories; they’re also a canvas for showcasing your dancer’s accomplishments. Each patch they earn represents a milestone in their dance journey, a visual reminder of their progress and commitment.

So keep those bags safe and encourage your dancers to take pride in their growing patch collection! Each one tells a story of perseverance, passion, and the joy of dance.

Reach for the Splits, Reach for the Barres!

We can’t wait to see our dancers strive for their splits and proudly wear their Splits Club patch. Remember, every journey starts with a single step (or in this case, a stretch!). Keep practicing, keep believing, and most importantly, keep dancing!

A Springboard for Success

Dance: A Springboard for Success

Finding an activity for your child is no small feat, but remember these activities can lead to teachable moments and lessons that can last a lifetime. Dance is certainly does, and I can say that wholeheartedly – I started dancing when I was just two years old!

Dance is truly more than just a fun activity; it’s a springboard for success in life. The skills and qualities developed through dance can have a lasting impact on children’s future.

  • Goal Setting and Achievement: Dance teaches children how to set goals and work towards achieving them. This skill is essential for success in school, careers, and personal relationships.
  • Resilience and Perseverance: Dance helps children develop resilience and perseverance. They learn to overcome challenges and setbacks, and keep striving for their goals.
  • Leadership and Teamwork: Dance often involves group work, which teaches children the importance of leadership, teamwork, and cooperation. These skills are essential for success in both personal and professional life.
  • Time Management: Dance classes require children to manage their time effectively and balance their commitments. This skill is crucial for success in school and work.
  • Confidence and Self-Esteem: Dance can boost children’s confidence and self-esteem. As they learn new skills and perform on stage, they gain a sense of accomplishment and pride.

I have used the these skills in my everyday life, not just as an educator or a studio owner, but as a student running for student government, captain of my cheer team, and was able to take these tools into job interviews, and so many more experiences too.

By choosing dance for you child, you are investing in their future success. Dance provides a joyful foundation for personal growth and development, and prepares children for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Reach For The Barres is more than just a dance studio, and we’re here for you and your dancer at anytime in their growth journey. It’s never too late to jump into dance and being building these skills and tools for their future success.
