Welcome back! I am so
excited about the upcoming
dance year and the opportunities
for student growth, as well as
the many fun activities that are in
store. Before talking about
“what’s new,” however, let me
once again thank everyone for all
the hard work that went into
making our 2015 recital a huge
success! I couldn’t be prouder
of all the dancers or more grateful for the parent support!
Premier, YOU ROCKED!!!
As the new year begins, we
will be welcoming a few new
faces to our staff and saying good
-bye to some old friends. Miss
Zena and Miss Audrey have both
taken jobs with dance companies
out of the Indianapolis area, Miss
Lydia has moved on to a job with
the Colts, Miss Nicole is getting
married and relocating to Wisconsin and Miss Shana will be
relocating to Arizona for a new
job. They will all be missed!
New to Premier this year
will be Miss Clare (a Butler
student from Pennsylvania)
who will be teaching ballet,
Miss Celine (a Butler student
from California) who will be
helping with ballet, and Mr.
Harvey a HipHop teacher from
Indianapolis. We welcome
back Miss Kayla K. and Miss
Kayla C. who joined as midyear last season. Finally, helping out in the classroom as
well as manning the front desk
will be Miss Haley.
We are looking forward
to the many upcoming events
scheduled for our dancers and
families:

Week” (September 21-25)

Competition Corner
Intro Team Opportunity
The Premier Intro Team gives
dancers an opportunity to try
competition dance on a small scale
basis. No tryouts are required..
The only requirements are: a desire to dance, willingness to commit the time, positive attitude, and
a good work ethic.
The Intro Team participates
in only two competitions and attend the dance conference held in
downtown Indianapolis in October. There is a minimal fee for
taking the choreography class, plus the
fees for each actual competition. Anyone interested in should contact
Meaghan. A minimum number of dancers will be required.
Costume Fees for Groups
Comp parents can begin paying costumes fees for group dances any time.
Fees may be paid all at once or in small
increments. Costume fees for each group
dance will be $85 and must be paid in full
by October 31. Balances remaining after
costumes are paid for can be used to
offset competition fees.
