Call time: 4:30pm

June 1st: school assembly for incoming 6th graders. Dances to be determined. 

I'm so happy to say that we have many new students taking dance this year, for the first time. Here's a few things you should know:

 

Dancers at NPAA will be learning a variety of dance styles that are not limited to, but include jazz, hip-hop, modern, contemporary, cultural and Broadway, with ballet as their foundation.

 

All dancers in 1st and 4th periods will change in the PE locker rooms, therefore, will need to buy a lock from our school, in the main office. Locks are $5.00.

 

All dancers will wear a plain black t-shirt that fits comfortably. They may also buy a dance t-shirt for $10.00, from me. For the bottom, all dancers have a choice of wearing either black capri/full length leggings/joggers/track pants/sweats. No shorts. Ideally, girls should wear athletic bras, preferably black.

 

Dance shoes are not required. Most of the time dancers will either be barefoot or in socks. I recommend that they have sandals/slippers to protect their feet when walking to and from the locker rooms.

 

Due to our flooring, it would be best if each dancer invest in their own yoga mat.

 

Dance students may bring only water into the dance room.

 

Please feel free to email me at [email protected] should you have additional questions.

 

Thank you for your support in the performing arts!

Our Halloween Dance Concert is fast approaching, so set your calendars to:

A variety of costumes will be worn throughout the show. Stay posted for what your child will need. To be announced in just a few days.

 

Our dance department sells beverages and snacks before the concert and during intermission. Therefore, we ALWAYS need parents to volunteer their time and assistance should they be able. The other way parents can help is by donating water, snacks, food...things that are sold at the concert, like, bottled water, individual size chip bags, cookies cupcakes, candy apples, pizza, candy bars, and soda.

 

Please notify me at [email protected], or send a note with your child with your contact information if you want to help us in any way!
