SEPTEMBER 2023 EMAILS
Hello!
I have been enjoying working with your dancers this year! They are such a fun group! I wanted to let you know I would like to make a small change to the practice video requirements on Band. I decided to make this change after last Thursdays rehearsal when many dancers forgot the changes we made on Sunday and they also hadn't posted a video yet for that week.
I would like dancers to post at least one of their two practice videos between our Sunday and Thursday rehearsals. This will make our shorter 30 min rehearsal on Thursday more effective so we can right to cleaning instead of re-teaching.
Here is a reminder of the practice video requirements:
***2 videos due per week*** Must be posted under challenge. Challenge begins on Mondays and will end on the following Sunday. Post video with music! Use most recent practice video to practice with before recording video. Goal is to record video without having to follow along with practice video! Please post at least one of the two videos between Sunday and Thursday rehearsals. Please reach out if you have any questions
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Good Afternoon 360 All Star Families!
One of our values at Studio 360 is Growth and Commitment! As a staff, we looked at each value and worked on how we demonstrated this in action. We were approached with this amazing opportunity and knew it aligned with those values.
We are SO excited to announce that Mr. Richard LOVED working at 360 and with your dancers this summer that he will have a residency here at 360! All 360 All Star Regional and National dancers will work with Mr. Richard!
Who is Mr. Richard?
Mr. Richard worked with your dancer this past summer during All Star camp and has taught nearly every summer at Studio 360 camps! He is an industry leader in breaking down skills such as turns, jumps, and balance. Having him as a resident for our students is truly an honor and says a lot about your dancer, as he only works with students he feels are completely committed to growth. You can read more about Mr. Richard in the attachment.

What is a residency?
Residency is for top dance professionals to travel to select dance studios throughout the year to work with students continuously. This provides more student growth throughout the year instead of just once a year at camps. Mr. Richard will be here 5 times this year!
October 22nd
November 19th
December 10th
February 11th
May 5th (Tentative)
What does it cost?
This will not cost anything extra for your family!!! Woohoo! Just extra instruction for your dancer!
What do I need to know?
We worked to ensure no rehearsal time will be missed on the weeks that Mr. Richard is at 360. However, Sunday class times will be different for your dancer. We have attached the altered Sunday schedule. Please keep this schedule handy and give it to your dancers to prepare them for the dates they have, Mr. Richard.

Youth Pom Crossovers - Will attend the Youth Mr. Richard Class Block.
Delaney E. - Attend the Jr/Sr Mr. Richard Class. During the following week, attend the Jr/Sr technique blocks.
That's it! There is no need to do anything besides mark your calendars and note the time changes. We will send a reminder the week of each session, as we know families' schedules are busy!
We are very excited to provide this amazing opportunity to your dancer! Bringing in the top professionals to work with your dancers and help them grow in their goals!
Have a great rest of your week!
Good Afternoon,
I am emailing to let you know we were unable to register the studio for Beyond the Stars. Unfortunately this competition sold out sooner than we had anticipated. We have selected a new competition on the SAME WEEKEND. We will be attending Waves Dance Competition on April 5th-7th in Ames, IA.
Venue Location:
Ames City Auditorium
520 6th Street
Ames, IA, 50010
Please let me know if you have any questions. We apologize for this unexpected change but we are excited to experience a new competition that seems to align with our studio values!
Thank you!
Hey All Star Dancers!
We are excited to kick off the new season!!
Ever wonder...how in the world do these All Star teams turn so many times?? We got the secret... it's not more classes, it's not more money for private lessons, it's at home daily practice!
This was a challenge given to us by our choreographer Miss. Chelsea. She uses this same challenge with her All Star teams and has amazing results with her students! Chelsea has used this technique with her tinies to her senior teams that have won numerous World titles and Summit titles!
The challenge is optional for dancers, and it's a fun and motivating way to practice their turns daily! Turns are something that takes continuous improvement and takes consistent practice and dedication to get.
To start the challenge - here is the BAND link. The directions are in the BAND.
https://band.us/n/acac9b5bm659J
I will give feedback to dancers who post in this BAND on improving their turns. This is a FREE way to get teacher feedback.
I'm excited to see dancers turning and reaching their turn goals! Go 360 All Stars!
Ms. Natasha
