Studio Health Guidelines:

•There are several rehearsals with the same group of students. We have arranged to keep these students in the same room for the duration of their rehearsal time. This will eliminate moving from class to class and around the building. Students are to bring their dance bags, water bottles, etc. into the classroom to limit lobby traffic.  Door handles and highly touched areas will be sanitized before each new group enters the classroom. The students will only be running routines. They will not be utilizing Ballet barres or other studio equipment, which limits their contact with surfaces. (If their routine requires a prop these will be wiped down before and after use.)

•Only students and staff will be allowed to enter the building. (No parents, siblings, family members, or friends.)

 

•A teacher or staff member will be taking temperatures. Please do not enter the classroom until your temperature has been taken and approved. If your child is running a fever over 100.4 they will be sent home immediately.

•If your child is ill, please keep them home. There will be no repercussions for missing rehearsal due to illness. Please contact Ms. Andrea before your scheduled class time to report your absence.

•Please be sure students use the restroom before class, have clean hands, and come with a water bottle. The drinking fountain will not be available for use. 

•There will be a staff member regularly sanitizing highly touched surfaces throughout the day. 

•There will be hand sanitizer available in each room.•The staff will be wearing masks. It is not mandatory for students to wear masks but is encouraged.

• Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled class. We suggest picking up your child during breaks to limit the number of students in the lobby.

 

•Students will remain in the classroom for their entire rehearsal session, with the exception of individual emergency bathroom breaks. 

•Please instruct your children not to share water bottles, food, or other personal items.

•There are social distancing marks on the floor/chairs in the lobby. Please talk with your child and enforce the distancing rules required in the lobby area.Thank you for your cooperation! We look forward to seeing everyone for team rehearsals beginning July 12!!!!

Updated Starz rehearsal schedule

We wanted to update you on the planned rehearsal schedule for the remainder of the 2019-2020 Starz Dance Team season. 

 

We are extremely excited we will be able to attend two competitions, especially with the unforeseen circumstances we’ve had to deal with. Due to the added competition, our Sunday rehearsals will need to be extended through September 13. As stated, there will be no charges for July rehearsals as the fees for April and the discounted fees for May will cover that. However, the studio will need to invoice for Team rehearsals for the month of August to cover rehearsal expenses for the September Legacy Competition. Invoices for this will be due August 1st. 

 

Team Rehearsals will be held at their regularly scheduled times on the following Sundays:

•July 12th
•July 19th
•July 26th

•August 2nd
•August 9th – no rehearsal – We will be attending Fly Dance Competition
•August 16th
•August 23rd (We will also hold auditions on the 23rd. Times TBA but will be worked around the rehearsal schedule.)
•August 30th
•NO September 6th (Labor Day Weekend)
•September 13th – no rehearsal – We will be attending Legacy Dance Competition. 

The new 2020-2021 will begin Sunday, September 20th. Schedule TBA. 

 

We are looking forward to finishing the season strong! Thank you all for your incredible patience and perseverance. 

 

Dance Team Faculty 🙂

 

Reminder: The Legacy Competition participation form is due July 11th

Added Legacy Competition

We have an exciting announcement!!!!

We will be attending Legacy Dance Championships LIVE stage competition the weekend of September 11-13 at Fox High School’s Rickman Theater in Arnold, MO. This will be in addition to the Fly Dance Competition August 7-9. There will likely be Covid regulations in place for the health and safety of students, spectators and staff. We will share this information as it becomes available.

Fees for this competition are as follows:

Solos: $110.00

Duet/Trios: $132.00 to be split between dancers

Groups: $45.00

per dancer per routine

This is not considered a mandatory competition due to the fact that it was not on the original schedule, however, we are hoping to have as many students participate as possible!!! 

 

We will need a YES OR NO regarding your participation by July 11th for billing purposes.  A survey will be sent similar to the recital survey for your convenience. 

 

Fees will appear in your parent portal by July 15th and will be due no later than August 1st. 

Reminder:

Fly entry fees have already been paid and applied to our August 7-9 competition.

Platinum did not issue a refund. Instead they applied fees to next years competition.

Mark of Excellence fees have already either been refunded to you or applied to any outstanding balance with Angie’s studio.

If you have any questions regarding the competition please let me know.

If you have any questions regarding your balance or payments please contact the studio directly.

Starz Competition Season Updates

Hello Starz Dance Team Family,

We hope this e-mail finds you all healthy and happy. We wanted to give you some updates on our tentative plans for the rest of the competition season.

Mark of Excellence has canceled the June 5-7th competition at the St. Charles Convention Center. They will not be re-scheduling or offering virtual competitions for the rest of 2020 season. Within the next two weeks, refunds will be given or credits will be applied to any outstanding balances.

We are still very optimistic we will be able to attend the August 7th – 9th Fly Dance Competition. Please keep that weekend marked on your calendars.

We will be holding Sunday Team Zoom rehearsals on May 17th & May 31st. The adjusted schedule and Zoom links are attached to the bottom of this e-mail. We will then take a break from Sunday Team Zoom rehearsals during the month of June with tentative plans to start back with regularly scheduled Sunday Team rehearsals in the studio on Sunday, July 12th. There will be no additional fees for the July rehearsal schedule.

Auditions for the 2020/2021 Starz Dance Team season will be held on August 23rd with Starz Team rehearsals starting September 13th. Details TBA.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the ever changing situation. There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel and we look forward to getting back in the studio and getting our students back on stage!

With gratitude,
Dance Team Faculty 🙂

Competition Team Update for the 2019/20 Season

Dear Starz Dance Team Family,

We wanted to update you on some potential re-scheduled dates for this competition season, as well as plans to resume competition group rehearsals via Zoom. There are still so many uncertainties, but we ask that you reserve the following dates.

Zoom Team rehearsals will resume next Sunday, May 3rd. There will be several revisions to the usual Sunday schedule. We will get that to you as soon as possible.

•According to the website, Mark of Excellence has re-scheduled the St. Louis event for June 5th – June 7th, 2020. (Please mark your calendars.)

•We have made the tough decision to forgo the Platinum Nationals in Pigeon Forge, TN for 2020. With all the unknowns and the financial burden traveling may impose on families during this difficult time, we feel it’s best to hold off until next Summer. Your Platinum fees already paid will be applied to next years Platinum regional registration fee. If you are a graduating senior, we will be in touch.

•Fly National Dance Competition has rescheduled their St. Louis Regional event for August 7th-9th, 2020. (Please mark your calendars.)

We appreciate your patience and continued support. We are getting closer to figuring out how this season will play out. We are doing our best and staying optimistic for an amazing finish to a hard fought season.

Thank you,
Dance Team Faculty 🙂

Shoes/Tights

Attached is the list of shoes/tights required for each competitive group routine.

Shoes and tights can be purchased from your local dance supply stores and/or purchased on-line. If your shoes need to be purchased from a specific distributor the link is attached.

If you’re routine requires Black fishnets you will purchase those on your own this season. The style is listed.

PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS MUST HAVE THE CORRECT SHOES FOR EACH COMPETITION CLASS BY JANUARY 5th! Please keep this in mind when ordering items on-line. You may have to make a return or wait for shipping or potential back-order items. Please also check the sizing chart for shoes as they do not always line up with street shoe size.

Please note the competition shoe style/color may differ from the required shoes for their weekly combo class. It is important to purchase the exact shoe listed. Judges will take off points at competition when our shoes differ. If you are uncertain if you have the correct shoe have your child bring them to rehearsals (before they wear them) to get approval.
