Special Performance Opportunity

The Spotlight will be holding auditions for a special holiday performance. The performance will be part of our soloist showcase on Sunday, December 11th at MVNU.

Auditions will be held on Friday, October 7th from 5:30-6:15 p.m. at the Spotlight. Auditions are open to any Spotlight student in first grade and up. Limited spots will be available for this performance and students must be available for rehearsals on Fridays from 5:30-6:15 p.m. October 14 through December 9. No practice on November 25 due to Thanksgiving break. There will be a $25 fee for chosen performers to cover costume rental and rehearsal times. The performance on Dec. 11 is free and open to the public.

Any student auditioning should come dressed as if they were attending class and be ready to learn a short combination for the audition. If you have questions please speak to Miss Stephanie or Miss Katie.

Important Reminder: Dance Shoes are ONLY for Dance Class & Label Your Items

As you may have noticed, The Spotlight has Marley dance floors in each dance studio. These floors are high quality, so we ask that you please respect our property and do NOT allow children to wear their dance shoes to and from class or outside at all. This ruins the shoes and in turn damages our floors. We want the best for our students and hope that you will help us keep our floors in great condition.

Attention Parents of Dance Students

Any Spotlight student who is enrolled in dance must have their hair pulled back for class each week. Students cannot see when their hair is down and when turning their hair can get into their eyes. Also, please make sure your child is dressed in the appropriate dance clothes for their class. Leggings or gym shorts are preferred if your child is not wearing tights to class. Ballet dress code is pink tights and black leotards. Dance skirts are allowed but no shorts and sweatshirts for ballet class. Please respect your child’s teacher by following these guidelines, pajama pants and jeans are not appropriate attire for dance class.

Parking

The Spotlight has additional parking in the back lot. Please do not park beside the building, this area is needed for vehicles to get in and out of our back lot easily and blocks the view when children are released out the side doors. The church next door has allowed us to use their lot if the back lot is full. We also ask that when parking out front that your vehicle does not block the handicap ramp. Also, please do not park too close to Harcourt Rd., park only within the white lines in the lot in the front. Thank you!

Spotlight Handbook

Please pick up a Spotlight handbook in the lobby if you did not review the one emailed to you at registration or handed out the first week of classes. This handbook is very important and can answer many questions you may have. The tuition breakdown is located in the center of the handbook, along with dress code for each dance class and class descriptions. Also located on the back page is the calendar for the year with listed holiday breaks, recital dates, etc.
