IMPORTANT DATES
We are starting our new season a little earlier than normal as our recital will be earlier this year. The recital will be on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Our 2023/2024 dance calendar will be handed out during the first week of classes. Please refer to this calendar for all of our important dates. Also, all important information will always be posted on the board outside of Studio A.
A parent meeting will be held the first week of classes for students ages 3-8 years old at the start of your child’s ballet class.
NEW STUDENT OPENINGS
If you have any friends looking to join our studio, please have them call Cheryl directly at (734) 612-9790. Our schedule of new classes is available on our website.
DANCEWEAR
Ballet Classes: Pink ballet shoes for ALL classes. Old shoes of any color or type may be worn for classes. (Please no ballet shoes with a black sole.) For Recital, pink or sprayed tan shoes are required depending on costume color.
Tap Classes: Old shoes of any color or type may be worn for classes. ALL students will wear tan Mary-Jane style tap shoes for Recital.
Jazz / Lyrical Classes: For class the following are acceptable: tan split sole jazz shoes or pink ballet shoes. Recital shoes will be determined at a later time by costume.
*Please put your child’s name in ALL dance shoes and check with your instructor if you have any questions about the fit or type of shoe to wear.
Leotards: If your child needs a new leotard, we encourage you to purchase black camisole or long-sleeved leotards. The dark colored leotards allow the teacher to easily identify body position errors, and provide us with a common costume base. Students should plan on not wearing any type of cover-up in ballet class.
SNOW DAYS
For classes that begin after 4:00pm a determination to cancel will be made by 2:00pm on that day. Please call the Summit at 734-394-5460. Because we are an afternoon program, the decision to cancel does not always coincide with Plymouth/Canton School District closings.

*Please note that if you have an urgent message, please text Cheryl or your child’s teacher. Email is not checked daily.
Please feel free to contact Cheryl or your daughter's instructor if you are having any type of problem or concern. We would be more than happy to help you resolve a situation - but first we must be made aware of it.
Thank you for your support, we are excited to begin our 50th season with you! If you have any questions, please text Miss Cheryl at 734.612.9790 with a good time when you are available to talk.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Reitz
Director
