Our November book of the month is "Dancing in the Wings", which is about Sassy, a girl who doesn't quite fit in with her classmates. Sassy is tall, gangly, and has big feet. Sometimes the other students even tease her. However, this doesn't stop Sassy. She has a dream to be a ballerina and she has the determination.

Happy Fall! Studio Go is excited to announce our Book of the Month edition for the blog. We all know how much young children love storytime, so we've decided to help out parents with a fun monthly reading suggestion that your little dancer is sure to love!

Autumn is here! Can you believe it?! I don’t know about you, but autumn is my favorite season! I’m so excited that all of our classes for Studio Go have officially started! With the beginning of our classes, it’s important for all of our students to know how to behave appropriately in class, to their teachers, and their fellow students. That’s why this month’s class theme is…Manners and Etiquette!

As I sit by the pool and soak up the last few summer days before we, Studio Go, officially start, I'm thinking to myself how excited I am to have my job. People ask me all the time if I like what I do, and honestly I can't think of anything better. I love to work with children because they are joy in the purest form! I love the smiles on their faces when I pick each of them up from class. It really makes me sad that I only have them for 45 minutes once a week.

One of the questions I get most often is a form of, "What should I be doing at home to make her practice more?" The answer is nothing. I think it's easy as a parent, and as an educator, to forget how young these students actually are. They truly don't need a lot of "homework". At this age they are like little sponges,  and they learn at a rapid rate. The goal at this point in their dance education is to make learning fun. This will help to encourage them to dance for years to come (if he/she chooses) and prevent burnout.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Intelligence plus character-that is the true goal of education." We couldn't agree more...

If seeing your little one look adorable in a tutu weren't enough reason to have your child in dance, studies show that dancing is great for the brain. Sure, we've always known the physical advantages of being a dancer, but studies also suggest it is wonderful for learning and intelligence as well.

Here's to a New Year and new beginnings. We are so excited to get started on this adventure. For those of you just stopping by, we're not quite "new". As most of you know, we've been operating under another name for quite sometime. A lot of hard work, blood, sweat and tears have gone into launching a "new" business in quite a short period of time. I think I speak for all of us here at Studio Go when I say we are ecstatic to mix it up a bit.
