Studio Announcements http://www.thedancestudio-ms.com/ Hello everyone, Daniel and I wanted to take a moment to set the record straight concerning a few rumors that have been circulating around the dance community invovling the fate of The Dance Studio. The truth is, like with most of you, the banks squeezed a few of our credit lines causing us to re-evaluate some of the things we were doing at the Studio. Long story short, we are not closing. Nor are we in any danger of closing. Your lessons are always protected and will always be taught out. You have our word on that. These changes will only serve to better the studio in every possible way! Now that is out of the way; we are going to be making some changes: Benton James has agreed to join the Studio! He brings a wealth of experience and personality that is unrivaled. Thank you Benton! Our Studio hours have been changed to 1p to 9p, M-F. Party nights being the exception. Saturday hours will remain 10a - 3p for private lessons. We are stopping the Studio Points promotion. We will no longer sell dance shoes directly. We can assist in sizing and placing the order, but payment would be made directly with Showtime Dance Shoes. The exception being our remaining stock. Lesson and packages will be going up in price. Our single, private lesson prices will be going up to $65. Package lessons will be listed under our "Package" section linked above. We will now be offering larger packages with payment plans starting at 25 lessons. We will only be offering one Beginner Group Course a month on Tuesdays before the party. This will be the only party available for free entry by students in that course. We will be offering a FREE 4-Week Course every Friday at 7p before the party. I think that just about sums it up. Now ... Welcome to the new and improved The Dance Studio! Sincerely, Gary Mon, 07 September 2009 08:00:00 CST Here it IS! The movie you have all been waiting for . . . Love N' Dance! This movie has not and will not play in local theaters. Come join us for this private screening on July 24th at 7pm. The movie will be followed by a SPECIAL Friday night party! It will be $15 at the door, which includes the movie and the party! As always, we will have refreshments and popcorn to go with the movie, but you'll need to bring your own RAISINETS.

These points are added up at the end of each month. The individual with the most points, wins. that simple. The winner receives the prize. The prize . . . is a secret. It might be a gift card, might be dance shoes, and it might be an all expenses paid vacation to hawaii, but probably not. It is however, guaranteed to be worth at least $100. ok, here is the not so fine print. You must have accumulated a minimum of 100 points. However, the points don't expire. if you win, your points go back to zero and you start all over. this should give everyone an opportunity to win. Tue, 1 May 2009 08:00:00 CST
