Dance is a great after school activity to get involved in! For some dance might be a form of physical activity. For others dance is a way to handle stress and express their emotions. yet for some, dance is simply a place to have fun, see friends, and learn new things. What does dance mean to you?

We hope you were able to attend our annual Peek Week from Nov 14th-19th. The most antcipated week (next to Facepainting and Recital of course!) came and went with flashing lights and smiles!
We are looking for you’re help!

Testimonials and pictures can be sent via email to peekweek@mhdancecenter.com. Your favorite video clips can be dropped off at the office in either a cd or flashdrive format. Please properly label your cd or flashdrive so we can return it to you promptly. All submitted pictures and videos will be added to our website’s media gallery. What is cooler than your dancer(s) seeing their dance class and friends featured on our website!
Costume Deposits
November 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It’s Time to Begin Preparation
During the same week as Peek Week costume deposits will be due for our annual performance on Saturday June 23. Planning for recital is much like planning a wedding, but for hundreds of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Costume orders must be placed early to guarantee on time delivery.
Although recital participation is not required it is a time a year our dancers young and old (the 3 year olds are the hit!) can’t wait for! If you or your dancer chooses not to participate please let our office know.
A deposit of $65 is due for each class your dancer participates in. This will not include any technique classes (for those who take multiple ballets please make one deposit at this time and we will determine which classes perform), music theatre, lyric and Parent/Tot (these classes do not perform in the recital). Balances will be due by March 15 and will appear on your accounts by March 1. These balances generally run between $5-10 for our youngest dancers (though at times there is not a balance) and $10-20 for our older dancers. Most classes will receive tights with their costume as well. **These deposit charges will appear on your account as of November 1 if you choose to pay this via your online account or in our office prior to the week of November 14.
The following classes will not require a deposit as we will put costumes together at a later date. Hip Hop 11+, Hip Hop 13+, Adv Hip Hop, Hip Hop 10-12, any pointe, any male dancer-***for our male dancers: please let us know if a charge appears on your account for your male dancer as they automatically are assigned by class.
Please be watching your email as we will be sending recital forms separately. Please note: we cannot order a costume without a deposit.
***Note: if you have dancers in multiple classes and need to set up a payment plan please do so with our office before the deadline of November 19***
Peek Week is Coming
November 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
During the week of Monday November 14-Saturday November 19 we will be holding our annual Peek Week. This is an opporunity to see your dancers class in full. Be sure to bring your cameras!!
A couple of things to note about Peek Week..
- Your dancers may act differently with a room full of people-this is normal.
- Teachers will make general corrections, but tend not to single out any dancer while there is a full room-can be embarassing to the dancer.
- Though we welcome younger siblings we do ask they you do not allow them to wander about the dance room
- Above all-enjoy the class!!
Note: The parking lot as well as the building will be very hectic.
