Hello SRDA families,


I can't believe it's already been over a week since the recital! I hope you've all had a great week and are ready for summer vacation! 


We will be holding our first summer registration day on Saturday June 25th from 2:00-4:00 at our north end location (6135 Metral Dr.).  Online registration will also open that day.  We are so excited to be adding Musical Theatre, Tap, Breakdance, Boy's only Hip Hop, and Contemporary to our class list.  2016-2017 is going to be a fantastic year with SRDA.  Just like last year, we will have a $20 September Special.  That means you can try out a class for only $20 for the month - it's a great opportunity for your dancer to be brave and try something new!  We will also be adding a dancer conditioning class and ballet technique class.  These are mandatory for our competitive dancers, but are open to all dancers ages 9-13.  The body conditioning class is a fun way for dancers to improve their strength and flexibility.  The ballet technique class is meant for students with some ballet experience and while they will not work on a recital piece, they will focus on the technical elements of ballet that are so crucial for proper development.


If you plan on paying for the 2016-2017 year with post-dated cheques, please remember to bring your cheque book on Saturday.


Also, if you did not pick up your photos at the recital, they are being held at the north end location and can be picked up Monday - Friday from 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.

Just another reason to keep on dancing!
​

Thank you Booshie Photographic for our new staff photos!

It has been confirmed! We will be having our recital on December 12th at the Beban stage in Nanaimo! We are so excited! 

We are finally here!  Classes begin tomorrow at NDSS and Dover Bay.  We are so excited for the season to begin.  Have a great week everyone!  

Dear Parents & Guardians,
Thank you very much for registering your child with SRDA.  We are so excited to meet all of our new dancers and to reunite with those of you who are returning!  Classes will begin on Monday September 14th.  

If your child is dancing at NDSS, your instructor will meet you at the front doors of the school shortly before your class is scheduled to begin.  Please note, NDSS requires that the front doors stay locked for security purposes so please ensure that you are on time for class. 

If your child is dancing at Dover Bay High School, please use the door farthest to the left when facing the front of the school (about 40 ft. left of the main doors). 

*IMPORTANT LOCATION CHANGE:
As we rent our studio space front high schools, sometimes we encounter some bumps along the road. 
We were recently informed that Dover Bay has decided to move their dance team rehearsals to Thursdays!
ALL STUDENTS REGISTERED IN THE DOVER BAY TWINKLE TOES 3-4 YRS. AND BALLET/JAZZ 5-6 YRS. WILL BE TAKING THEIR CLASSES AT "THE DOWNSTAIRS". We apologize for any inconvenience, however luckily this beautiful studio is only a 5 min. drive from Dover Bay so we are hoping that it won't cause too much of an issue.  "The Downstairs" also features a waiting room, cafe, and spa.  

'The Downstairs' at Woodgrove Pines is located at 6135 Metral Dr.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this location change. Please note, the SUPER STAR (competitive) classes will still be held at Dover Bay on Thursday evenings.
