Greetings!
”Tis the season of cooler weather, cardigans, “pumpkin spice,” and less bugs! I don’t know about you, but that less bug part is my favorite thing about Fall. I mean Summer and Spring are cool and all, but if I could have them without bugs, I would have moved to a tropical location a long time ago.
Since moving down south, I’ve never been a fan of Fall. To me, it’s mostly germs and colds, but on the bright side it’s also cozy nights snuggled up drinking Hot Chocolate. Yeah, I’m a Hot Chocolate kid/adult. The coffee thing just hasn’t really been my thing. Most of my friends, family, and coworkers swear by it, or at least some form of espresso, but it just tastes funny to me.
Okay enough about that, let’s talk about the super important things that are going this month. Well I should have said thing (singular), because all we have now is HALLOWEEN!!! A time to truly let your imagination run wild and allow all your dreams to come true. Yes, even as an adult I think you should let your imagination run wild. (I mean I do teach children under the age of 10 so that very could be a reason.) I’ve been having a hard time trying to decide what I should be this Halloween. Do I go with something edgy (Eartha Kit Cat Woman) or do I play it safe and go as a cartoon character (Susie Carmichael from Rugrats All Grown Up). I know super tough decisions!
This month your children have been learning about perseverance and determination through dance. We understand that sometimes things get hard and especially when you’re young if you don’t get it right away, you might not want to keep trying, but there’s no need to give up. In the dance community, we know that you’ll probably hear “no,” more often than “yes.” And that okay, because when you are told yes, it makes all the no’s worth it!
We aren’t just teaching them Ballet, we’re also teaching how to be great people!
Happy October!!
