MODERN & CONTEMPORARY
Born in the early 20th century, modern dance is a dance style that focuses on a dancer's own interpretations instead of structured steps, as in traditional ballet dancing. Modern dancers reject the limitations of classical ballet and favor movements derived from the expression of their inner feelings.

30 Days with Jacob Frederick
Happy Monday!
I hope you had a great weekend and got to enjoy some time outside with the cooler weather. I'm excited to kick off a month focused on improving nutrition for the whole family.
Now, I wish I could offer a magic fix to make healthy eating effortless—but the reality is, it takes time, practice, and probably a few weeks where it all feels like a mess. And that’s okay. Because the ultimate goal is growth—for you, and for your kids. So why not keep learning?
While the main focus this month will be on nutrition, I’ll also be sharing tips on what I call foundational habits—things like gratitude, positive thinking, and prioritizing experiences. Why? Because the strongest habits start with a strong mindset.
Here’s what to expect:
• Meal prep tips and tricks
• Simple, family-friendly recipes
• Healthy swaps
• Mindset habits to build momentum
• 2–3 short emails each week with one simple action step
✅ Today’s Action Step:
Block off 20–30 minutes each week in August for planning and prep. Make reviewing and acting on these emails non-negotiable. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress and more confidence by month’s end.
As we go, I’d love to hear from you. What’s been helpful? What are you still struggling with? I’m always here if you need 1:1 support—just reach out!
Let’s build a better, stronger foundation—together.

Dancers helping dancers! That dressing room was SMOOTH! Kids helped each other so effortlessly and with positivity. They encouraged each other and supported one another. Special shout out to Juniors for helping those Tinies getting on and off stage!
Coaches helping coaches! With the dual performance floors, we were literally running at times. A big thanks to Tasha for the extreme color coding coordination of the weekend's itinerary!

Happy Hump Day,
I hope your week is going well so far! On Monday, I challenged you to carve out 20 minutes later in the week to plan for the upcoming one. If you haven’t had a chance yet, no worries—you still have time. This simple step is one of the most powerful strategies for building consistency and seeing progress.
As we move forward with building better habits, I wanted to share a quick video on Nutrition Fundamentals (https://youtu.be/sZ-A6l5bzSQ)and where to begin. The health and wellness space has made nutrition overly complicated, but the truth is this: there are many ways to be successful. The best plan is the one you can follow consistently. So stay curious, commit to learning, and embrace progress over perfection.
Health and well-being aren’t about hitting a finish line—they’re about growing from week to week.
Here are some resources to support your planning:
• Breakfast Prep Ideas

• How Meal Planning Saves Money (https://www.instagram.com/p/C7SGS-rx5wv/)(and stress)

• Better Ingredient Swaps: Peanut Butter Edition

• Mini Meatloaf (great for dinner and/or prep)
(https://www.instagram.com/p/DEnl9-2xjdG/?img_index=1)
This is the second email in our series, and I hope you’re already noticing a few small wins. Remember, the goal isn’t perfection in week one—it’s showing up a little more consistently than you did before.
If there’s anything else I can do to support you, I’d love your feedback. And if you're ready for more personalized guidance, I offer free 1-on-1 Discovery Sessions—(https://calendly.com/jacob-intentionallyselfish/freeconsultation)you can schedule one here anytime.

No, Spot TV includes video only, with no audio, to keep the focus on the dancers’ movements and keep our classes distraction-free.
I hope you’ve have a wonderful week and are feeling ready for the new school year! This season always brings change, and with it the chance to pause, adapt, and refocus. Take 10–20 minutes this weekend to reflect: What matters most to you and your family in the next month? How can you approach the transition with curiosity and a growth mindset?
If you’d like support walking through that reflection and planning, you can always schedule a 1:1 with me here.

Weekly Challenge
This week’s challenge is simple: 10 minutes of movement each day.
Walking outside, dancing in the living room, stretching before bed—whatever works for you. The key is planning it ahead of time so you’re more likely to follow through.
A reminder:
• Not every challenge will fit everyone—and that’s okay.
• Stay curious, not perfect. As Vusi Thembekwayo says:
(https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZZM4axVZ3lw?feature=share) “Perfectionism is not achievable, imperfection is guaranteed, improvement is your goal.”
Nutrition Focus
This week let’s look at healthier alternatives to common kids’ snacks—plus a fun recipe the whole family can try.
Better Snack Swaps
• Peanut Butter: Choose brands with only peanuts + salt.
• Apple Sauce: White Leaf Provisions, Eden, North Coast, 365, Santa Cruz.
• Candy: Unreal, Lovely Lollipops, Yum Earth Giggles, Smart Sweets.
• Chicken Nuggets: Perdue, Mary’s Organic, Realgood Chicken.
Whole foods (fruits, veggies, etc.) are always best. But when life gets hectic, having improved convenience options makes a real difference.
Family Recipe
Here’s a fun dish to try together this week:
Goodles Noodles with Veggie-Packed Sauce
(Swap the pasta for spaghetti squash if you’d like—or stick with pasta and just load up the sauce with extra veggies!)
I’d love to hear what your family thinks—don’t hesitate to share, even if it’s a “not for us” recipe. Every
kitchen experiment is a learning moment!

Schedule & Logistics: Important Notes
Dance Fest Itinerary and Details(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9kb2NzLmdvb2dsZS5jb20vZG9jdW1lbnQvZC8xOEFuZkRVSFVQVGF5dkRpS3JZZ2w3YVdodnQ5MFlCdGhHYzVJT1IxWkY0Zy9lZGl0P3VzcD1zaGFyaW5n)
As we prepare for Dance Fest, please review the following key details to help the weekend run smoothly:
• Timing: All times provided are based on the initial competition schedule and may shift slightly. Any updates will be shared in the Parent BAND app. The performance time listed is the time families should plan around.
• Warm-Up Time: The listed warm-up time is 30 minutes prior to our official warm-up check-in. This is a standardized time set by the competition and may be led by any Studio 360 staff member depending on schedule flow.
• Dressing Room Time: This is the latest time dancers must be in the designated dressing room. Once checked in, dancers may not leave without coach permission.
• Breaks Between Times: If there is downtime between dressing room arrival and warm-up, dancers may eat, watch performances, or take photos outside the dressing room, but must return on time for their scheduled dressing room time.
• Post-Awards Team Meeting (New): After awards, all teams will go directly to the dressing room for a brief team meeting with their coach or Tasha. This allows time to review judges’ feedback, celebrate wins, and reflect together before dancers are released to families for photos.
• Multiple Performance Halls & Team Support: Please note that Dance Fest uses two performance halls. When Studio 360 teams are performing, even if your dancer is not required at that moment, families and dancers are highly encouraged to show their support and cheer on other 360 All Stars. If two teams perform in close succession, please be especially mindful of being present in both areas to support. This may mean "dividing and conquering" with the sea of 360 purple in the cheering section, arriving earlier or staying later than your individual team’s schedule. We truly appreciate everyone’s collective effort to ensure every team feels equally supported.
Thank you for helping us keep the weekend organized, supportive, and focused on team success!

No. This is an essential rule to follow. For dancers' safety, the app will suspend your usage automatically and notify the 360 office and Spot TV administration of the violation if a screen recording or screenshot is taken of a class.
Upon investigation, we will reinstate a family member once, and if deemed a mistake, reinstate the feature for the member. A second offense will permanently suspend your Spot TV account for the remainder of the semester. If reinstated and the violation occurs again, the family member will be suspended from using the feature permanently. This is for privacy and safety; all 360 Spot TV members follow the guidelines.
Hello All Star Families,
Thank you so much for an outstanding Fall semester! Here are some important reminders as we move into our final rehearsal of 2025 and full steam ahead into Prairie Showcase and competition season in 2026. Please take a few minutes to read carefully, as attendance expectations and event details become especially important during this time.
Attendance Reminders & Code of Conduct Expectations
We kindly remind families that all absences must be submitted using the Absence Form in the parent portal prior to the absence whenever possible. This allows us to accurately track excused absences, including:
• Illness
• Funerals
• School-required events (choir or band concerts, etc.)
When an absence form is not submitted, the absence appears as unexcused, which can create confusion when attendance reports are pulled. Thank you to for consistent communication, and actively arranging makeups to maintain the 98% attendance policy. We truly appreciate your continued commitment to attendance.
Code of Conduct Attendance Expectations
• 98% Attendance Rule remains in effect for all All Star dancers

Announcements
March 1st: Jefferson Showcase + Jill Christine Photos
We are excited to announce that Jill Christine Photography will be shooting our All Star team and individual in costume photographs on Sunday, March 1st. We will have an adjusted schedule that day anyhow, so stay tuned for times.
• Team and individual photos will be taken in full costume
• This will eliminate the need for additional photos during in-studio dress rehearsal week
• One less thing for dancers and families to manage later during busy recital season!!
Please block off the day
A detailed photography schedule will be sent closer to the event. While we will do our best to accommodate morning church attendance, this may not be feasible for all dancers in order to ensure photos are completed on time and the team arrives punctually for the performance.
Costumes:
Thank you SO much for your continued dedication to these phenomenal costumes. We appreciate everyone's collective efforts for the finished masterpieces!
During Intro to All Star choreography, parents are welcome to come to the studio for continued rhinestoning work as staff will be there and the studio will be open: Monday, December 29th 5-7:30 and Tuesday, December 30th 5-7:30.
If there are additional dates/times that staff will be present, we will reach out in the All Stars Band and welcome you in! The goal is Prairie showcase ready, but please know additional time will be accommodated in the week leading up to Dance Fest.
Please reach out with any questions via email. During the break email will be monitored, but responses will be longer wait times. If the matter is not time sensitive and you do not receive a response over break, we will ensure we catch up with you upon return to regular studio hours.
Thank you families,
Alissa Stanton
360 Studio and Allstars Director
The team will compete and 2 - 3 regional USASF competitions to earn a bid for each routine. These competitions are 1 day and are within a 3 hour drive. Routines receive an At Large, Partial Paid, or Paid Bid depending on how they score at the regional level.

We are just about halfway through our season, and we want to take a moment to thank you for everything you do for our 360 village. We often hear that “it takes a village,” and we truly feel that every week. Our families, dancers, coaches, and staff make up one big team, and we are grateful to be on this journey with you.
As we head into competition season, we kindly ask that you take a moment to review the 360 Code of Conduct (https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FudmEuY29tL2Rlc2lnbi9EQUd5M29ZbmE3Yy9HaDJ1LXJpd2Q5TktGZloxYlJGN19nL3ZpZXc_dXRsSWQ9aDY1NDJhNDYwMDgmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPWRlc2lnbnNoYXJlJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PURBR3kzb1luYTdjJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09bGluazImdXRtX3NvdXJjZT11bmlxdWVsaW5rcyM4)with your dancer. These expectations were shared at audition registration, during the commitment ceremony, and are always available on the team website.(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3R1ZGlvMzYwZGFuY2UubmV0LzI1LTI2LXRlYW0tY29tbXVuaWNhdGlvbnM=) Revisiting them mid-season helps everyone stay aligned and supported.
If any clarification or concerns come up, please remember the communication process outlined in the Code of Conduct. Any matters that fall within those guidelines should be addressed through a scheduled in-person, phone, or virtual meeting. Long emails will be responded to with a request to meet in person.
Sending an email to request a time to talk is perfectly appropriate. We find that real conversations, not long email threads, help us understand one another more clearly and maintain the supportive, trusting relationships that are so important to us.
Thank you for your time, your partnership, and your continued commitment to creating a positive, successful season for every dancer, every family, and our entire 360 staff. We appreciate you!
mindset
As we move into the new year and the heavier competition season, we’re shifting how we approach mindset training. Instead of separate 30-minute sessions, mindset skills will now be integrated directly into rehearsals. This allows dancers to practice these skills in real time while learning choreography, getting feedback, and applying what they’ve learned this fall in our individual sessions immediately.
This hands-on approach has already shown great results with some teams, and we’re excited to expand it studio-wide. Coaches will continue leading rehearsals, with support from Ms. Natasha to strengthen both dancers’ skills and coaching strategies.
Please note: There will not be separate mindset times effective immediately. Dancers and teams will begin to see Ms. Natasha on Sunday.
Thank you for your flexibility as we continue to be industry innovators in mindset education at Studio 360, supporting both our dancers’ growth and our coaching team’s development.
Looking ahead

They have been delayed as they were on break all of last week. Stay tuned, we can't wait for these amazing dancers to perform at halftime!

• Melissa Kolker is the point-guard for this Sunday, as Amy will not be in. Please see the sample and connect with Melissa if you have any design formatting questions. Use caution in the differences in sizing for the gold SS12s, 16s, and 20s come in mixed packages. More red is on it's way, be sure to leave spaces for these as needed.
• Mini Intermediate Jazz & Pom
• Joalene is the go-to-gal for this one, as she has already done work in collaboration with Amy and can help guide as needed.
• Youth Intermediate Pom, Youth National Contemporary and Variety
• The sample has been completed by Emily and is on its way back. We have ordered rhinestones, and Amy will be in touch when we are ready for parents to come in and get to work.
• Youth Intermediate jazz and Mini Regional Jazz arrived and will be next in creating the sample design this upcoming week. We will do our best to inform you as soon as possible and give as much lead time as we can for families to complete the rhinestoning.

Studio360 DanceAll Stars Weekly Update - Happy Thanksgiving
Hello Allstars families,
From all of us at Studio 360, we wish you and your family a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! We are so grateful to spend each week with your dancers and to witness their continued growth. Thank you for being part of the impactful, supportive community we are building together.
BAND - Support at Home
One of the questions we hear most often is: “How can I support my dancer at home?” or “What should my dancer be doing between classes to continue growing?”
Great news, the answer is simple: strength and flexibility! Our Artistic Director, Ms. Yudi has created an at-home BAND program that dancers can easily follow to continue building their strength, mobility, and flexibility outside of class.
This resource is designed to be self-guided. Tinies and newer dancers may need help getting started, but it can quickly become a fun and independent routine.
Ms. Yudi, is passionate about supporting dancers both at home and in the studio while helping them train safely and effectively. In collaboration with the All Star coaches, she has developed exercises that target our dancers’ most essential needs: glutes, hamstrings, back/core strength, foot flexibility, hip mobility, and more.
We encourage dancers to use this free resource on days they are not training at Studio 360. These exercises are simple, require little to no space, and can be done right at home.
We hope your dancer enjoys this added support and uses it as a fun way to keep progressing toward their individual goals! You can find the direct link in your individual team BANDS as well as below!
STRENGTH/FLEXIBILITY BANDN(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9iYW5kLnVzL24vYWZhNGJmcjlsN0Rlbg==)ATION'S CHOICE FOLLOW-UP
Thank you for joining our first competition follow-up virtual call on Tuesday evening. It was wonderful to connect with you, share an inside look at what happens off-stage, and walk you through what unfolds from the end of competition to the very first rehearsals. We truly appreciate your time, your thoughtful questions, and your commitment to supporting both the dancers and the teams.
We remain dedicated to working together to create a safe, positive, and supportive training environment from every angle. Together, we are stronger!

Studio360 DanceAll Stars Weekly Update - New for this Sunday
Hello Allstars families,
What an amazing weekend full of laughter and smiles, trials and triumphs, and a fantastic first showing at the Nation's Choice competition! Congratulations to all coaches, dancers, and families, for showing up in ALL the ways and supporting our 360 All Star teams, whether on the floor, in the audience, or tuning in at home!
This Sunday
As one of our key 360 values is connection, we’re excited to introduce a new and more connected format for our post-competition follow-up. This structure builds on what our coaches and leadership have historically done behind the scenes and now brings parents directly into the conversation, so we can support our dancers as a united team.
What to expect?
We will host a Post-Competition Virtual Review Session led by Coach Natasha on Tuesdays at 7:30 pm following each competition.
This gives us a few days to:
• thoroughly process judge feedback
• compare notes across teams and coaches
• translate those insights into thoughtful action plans before we meet with you
We will start this new format with our Nation's Choice parents with a virtual session this Sunday, November 23 5:00 – 6:00pm
Join Us Virtually(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWV0Lmdvb2dsZS5jb20vd3lyLWVua2stYWZz)
If you’re unable to attend live, a recording and transcript will be available so you can view the conversation at a time that works for you. We understand this is a different day/time than the future dates, however we are actively working to be responsive to parent feedback of seeking additional clarity and trying to be timely before the holidays.
Why host this meeting?
After every competition, Studio 360 leadership and coaches already spend extensive time reviewing score sheets, synthesizing judges’ comments, and translating that feedback into training plans. Coaches then work directly with dancers to implement those corrections in class and rehearsal.
Moving forward, we want to bridge that final gap and bring families into this process. Understanding what the feedback means, and how we’re applying it, empowers you to:
• Support your dancer’s growth both in and outside the studio
• Help reinforce corrections and mindset shifts at home
• Understand scoring, technique goals, and choreography decisions with more clarity
• Join us in fostering a positive, collaborative, growth-focused environment
Our dancers thrive most when their entire support system, coaches, leadership, and families are aligned.

Thank you for being such an important part of the journey. We look forward to continuing this season alongside you.

Studio360 DanceAll Star Weekly Updates - GOOD LUCK DANCERS!
Hello All Star families,
We have several important reminders and announcements as we head into a big weekend for many of our dancers!
ReminderS
Wishing our teams, soloists, and families BEST OF LUCK as they are competing this weekend at Nation's Choice!!! We are cheering for you, and we know your hard work will shine on stage.
Competing Teams:
Mini National, Youth National, Junior Intermediate
Soloists:
Mila Bakkum
Lennon Dressler
Audyn Taggart
Ellie Marks
Carley Heisdorffer
Olivia Letarte
Stella Kolker
There are no rehearsals this Sunday, November 16th for any All Star teams due to Nation’s Choice.
Mindset
Mindset sessions scheduled for November 16th (shown as the original below) have been rescheduled to November 23rd due to Nations Choice.
Note for all:
While attendance is not required, Mindset is and will continue to be an integral part of your dancer's individual and team training and attendance is expected.
If for any reason your dancer is unable to attend, please provide as much notice as possible via email, as significant time is spent preparing these sessions, tailored to individual and team needs.
Our Spring Mindset calendar will be communicated shortly, as we are being very intentional in planning with the competition season. Thanks for your patience!
Intro to All Stars
Please give a warm welcome to all dancers joining our Intro to All Stars teams. We are thrilled to see this next group of athletes begin their All Star journey! Choreography takes place December 29 & 30th, with rehearsals beginning January 4th from 1:30-2:30. Please extend the greatest welcome and offer all of your amazing expertise along the way!
Looking Ahead
We want to offer clarity regarding the December schedule. The current layout of the All Star Calendar, specifically the note about studio classes being closed beginning December 19 and the highlight of the Regional Dress Rehearsal on December 21, may understandably give the impression that National teams do not rehearse on Sunday, December 21. That is not the case.
All Star rehearsals will take place on Sunday, December 21, and these rehearsals are already included as part of the season. While studio classes are on winter break, All Star teams continue rehearsing due to the Showcase immediately after break and a competition quickly following. Regional families will also participate in the dress rehearsal on this date. Junior teams will rehearse as usual but will not need a dress rehearsal since they have already performed at Nation’s Choice.

All Star Holiday Celebration - December 19th
We are still looking for parent volunteers to help plan and coordinate our All Star holiday celebration. For context, this historically has been a pajama party where families drop dancers at the studio, with parent volunteers as supervisors with activities such as crafts, karaoke, dance party, with a collection for pizza.
We are looking for a head coordinator to create a signup genius and parents who would be willing to help execute aspects of the party. This team bonding opportunity has been a kid favorite, but does rely on help to make it happen. Alissa will be on site as our All Stars Staff supporter. Please reach out via email if you can help with any part of the celebration to help make this a fun event for the dancers!
As always, thank you for your dedication, flexibility, and support. We are proud of each dancer and grateful for each family.
Go 360 All Stars!
Please reach out with any questions via email, and I will get back to you on Monday when I return to the office.
Thank you families,

Let’s cheer her on as she begins this exciting new chapter!
Teams scheduled for November 16th - Rescheduled to November 23rd
Due to Nation's Choice, Ms. Natasha will be rescheduling Youth Intermediate and Mini Regional to Sunday, November 23rd. If your dancer cannot attend to do a prior commitment, please reach out via email, as we know this is a late adjustment in timing.
Coming Up — Sunday, November 9
In-Studio Dress Rehearsal (Nationals & Junior Teams)
Junior Teams
Full costuming for both routines. Please arrive with hair and makeup complete for a full run-through.
Mini National
Parents continue rhinestoning costume pieces for Contemporary. Because costumes will still be drying, the dress rehearsal is rescheduled for Monday’s Contemporary rehearsal.
Coach Rachel is prioritizing completion of the tops first; skirts can take additional time if needed. Since Monday’s rehearsal is after school, hair and makeup are not required.
Youth National & Mini National Variety
We are awaiting costume arrivals. Updates will be shared as soon as we have more details. Currently, no dress rehearsal is scheduled, so please watch for updates throughout the week as needed.
HAIRPIECES - DUE FOR COMPLETION SOON
Youth National dancers needing replacements can expect theirs to be ready for issuing on Tuesday evening. Mini Nationals dancers can expect theirs on Thursday evening.

Hello Allstars Families,
Thank you for a wonderful week! We LOVED seeing all of the routines on Show Day and our collective progress has been amazing to watch!
Progress Over Perfection
It is likely the newness of the season has worn off as we move into October, but it is so important for dancers to keep up their commitment to progress. The dancers continue each rehearsal to clean small sections of their routine that add up to a whole dance, showcasing all of their hard work. Here is how you can help:
• Practice Videos- Make sure these are submitted. These support the work that has already been done and solidify the cleans. Dancers being able to execute cleans ensures that the whole team is making progress in their routines! Confidence comes from feeling prepared.
• Cleans- This is not perfection, but rather uniformity. Highlight for your dancer that this is so the team looks and works together, and subtract the word perfect from the vocabulary. This is a key element to a champion mindset.
We are looking forward to continuing to train this and other key components in our upcoming Mindset workshops with Coach Natasha.
Reminders:
Fill out the surveys below by Friday, October 3rd (TODAY). Makeup and Earrings ordered will have payment applied and charged automatically on October 15th. Hairpieces are at no additional cost.

Pink Week- Sunday, October 5th-October 11th
We are excited to kick off our Pink week, this Sunday, October 5th, to support Breast Cancer awareness, and #TEAMHEATHER! Dancers are invited to wear their pink dance attire and hair accessories, such as headbands and scrunchies (not the adorable beanie shown below).

Announcements:
Soloists
Those signed up for Masquerade Cedar Rapids - please see your email regarding an important update needing your attention and response by Sunday, October 5th.
Going Outside & Subway
If your dancer would like to go outside on break or go to Subway, they must check out and back in with Ms. Amy. With the warm weather, it is just fine to enjoy it while you can, but we must know where your dancer is at all times and ensure there is adult supervision. Please review this expectation with your dancer before next week's classes.

CANCELLATION OF ROOMS
We have received questions regarding hotel room cancellations. Please note that each hotel has its own cancellation policy. For details about your specific reservation, we recommend reviewing your confirmation carefully.
Cancellation windows vary. Some allow cancellations up to 48 hours prior to arrival, while others may set a specific cutoff date. Fees, if any, will also depend on the hotel’s individual policy. Team Travel Source works with these hotels upon contracting to negotiate and encourage cancellation policies that support teams, often beyond their typical cancellation policies for high traffic weekends.
Studio 360 does not receive final competition times until 7–14 days prior to the event. However, we will share the anticipated schedule as soon as it is available to help families plan accordingly.
Thank you!

CANCELLATION OF ROOMS
We have received questions regarding hotel room cancellations. Please note that each hotel has its own cancellation policy. For details about your specific reservation, we recommend reviewing your confirmation carefully.
Cancellation windows vary. Some allow cancellations up to 48 hours prior to arrival, while others may set a specific cutoff date. Fees, if any, will also depend on the hotel’s individual policy. Team Travel Source works with these hotels upon contracting to negotiate and encourage cancellation policies that support teams, often beyond their typical cancellation policies for high traffic weekends.
Studio 360 does not receive final competition times until 7–14 days prior to the event. However, we will share the anticipated schedule as soon as it is available to help families plan accordingly.
Thank you!
360 All Star Leadership Team
Hello!
We are so excited you will be performing in the annual 360 Acro production! Every year, we do a full production run through at the studio before we head to dress rehearsal so teachers can see it all put together and make any necessary tweaks in order for dancers to put on their best performance.
Our full Acro production rehearsal will be at the studio on Friday, May 17th from 5 pm-6:15 pm. Dancers can wear their normal dress code for class.
If your dancer cannot be in attendance please let me know in advance. We would like all students there if possible. Putting together a production is like putting together a puzzle and we want all dancers to feel as prepared as possible.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Dear World's Families,
We hope you had a wonderful week and look forward to this beautiful weekend! Here is our Friday update for everyone!

ESSENTIAL PACKAGE UPDATE
We continue to work behind the scenes on getting all items designed and ordered. We have finalized our backpacks, and they have been ordered. We are in the final stage of finalizing the warmup jackets and will be able to proceed with sizing!
T-Shirt Sizes:
Coach Delaney created a poll in BAND for each team member to give their t-shirt size for the additional Worlds Shirt that will replace the spandex shorts.
Tank Top Sizes:
We will be getting measurements from dancers on Sunday as these are custom-made and then process the order next week.
MINDSET
At 360, we believe in building dancers beyond the dance floor. We are excited to share that on Sunday, September 28th, during the first hour of our regularly scheduled rehearsal, we will have one hour with James Silvas Mindset & Peak Performance Specialist. James and Natasha will be working with local teams on Saturday and Sunday, and have the opportunity to connect with our team on Sunday morning.
This will be at no additional cost to your athlete.
Some dancers will already see James and Natasha with their school team, however, every team is unique, and the content that we share and work together on will be personalized to help elevate specifically the 360 Worlds Team!
We are excited for this special opportunity for our team!
pictures Reminder
We are thrilled to share that each dancer will be booking a session with our amazing photographer, Jill Christine Photography, to capture their action shots!
Because everyone’s schedule is different, Jill has kindly agreed to meet individually with each dancer. Since each of our dancers represents a different part of our area, we thought it would be fun to highlight those communities! For example:
• Iowa City/North Liberty dancers – choose a local spot in your area for your action shots.
• Cedar Rapids dancers - selected a special Cedar Rapids location
• Marion dancers – select a location in Marion.
Please reach out to Jill this is due today to schedule your session if you haven't yet. You can text her directly at 319-366-8689.
Our goal is to have all individual action shots completed by October 15th.
A group photo and official headshots will be taken at the studio at a later date, once our costumes arrive.
Attire: Lavender or Neon Purple and/or Mint or Lime Green dance attire colors - no logos, Hair is your choice.
Reminder, your essential package covers this cost.

Quick Reminders:
Junior Coaches Application 10+ Due October 1st. This is intended for dancers age 10 + (5th/6th grade). If you have a dancer this age and still did not receive this email, please email the office. This was in your email from Wednesday, September 17th. We would love to see representation from our Allstars!
Bring a Friend Week: Please no friends to rehearsals
Sick Policy and Makeups-
With school in session and changing of the seasons, we often see an increase in illness this time of year. Please take a look at our illness policy and makeup procedures. If you are ever unsure, do not hesitate to reach out to the office.
Locker Room Expectations
Dancers should not be hanging out in the locker room during dinner breaks. Electronics are not allowed, as we want kids eating and organically connecting. We have seen an increase in both the usage of these and food in this space. Please remind your dancer to be a stellar part of our 360 community by cleaning up after themselves here, and in the cafe. Thank you!
Lost & Found
All items have been gathered in a basket. This will be in the locker room and families have Sunday to go through this prior to us donating next week.
Team Website Update
We have added a few helpful items including:
Mindset Schedule
Competition List by teams and solo/duets

Good afternoon!
We are excited to share our In-Studio Dress Rehearsal and Picture Schedule with you, as well as our Prairie Concert Hall Dress Rehearsal schedule!
This year we are doing pictures differently than we have done in the past for our Cedar Rapids location classes. The week of May 20th-24th our photographer, Jill Christine, will be at our Cedar Rapids location to take photos of each class. She will be set up in Studio C for the entire week so your dancers class may be in a different studio. All classes will start and end at their normally scheduled time. Dancers should arrive in-costume, hair, and makeup done for their picture and in-studio rehearsal.
LINK TO IN-STUDIO DRESS REHEARSAL/PICTURE SCHEDULE (CR location only)(https://www.studio360dance.net/recital-2024)
On May 28th and/or 29th, your dancer will have their dress rehearsal time at Prairie High School Concert Hall. They will only come to practice their routine on stage since pictures will be done the week prior. Dancers need to be in costume, hair, and makeup for their on-stage dress rehearsal time.
Your teachers will be sending out via email and in your class Band, a "cheat sheet" that has only your dancers class times. We understand the full schedule can be difficult to read so this cheat sheet will be your guide!
Solon Classes - You will do in-studio dress rehearsal the week of May 20th-24th, at The Empire at your regularly scheduled class time. Pictures will be at the Prairie High School Concert Hall on May 30th. Jill Christine will be set up in the choir room to do pictures. Following their picture time, dancers will have their on-stage rehearsal in the concert hall. You will also receive a cheat sheet from your teachers.
LINK TO PRAIRIE CONCERT HALL DRESS REHEARSAL SCHEDULE (CR and Solon locations)(https://www.studio360dance.net/recital-2024)
For ALL DATES AND DRESS REHEARSALS, dancers need to arrive performance ready. This means they should be in costume including accessories, with hair in a middle part slicked back low bun, makeup on, tights, and proper dance shoes.
The Studio 360 Recital 2024 Costume Look Book will be coming very soon. This will have all the information you need pertaining to your dancers costume. You will be able to find this under the Recital 2024 tab on the Studio 360 Website (also linked here)(https://www.studio360dance.net/recital-2024).
As a reminder, you should have joined your class Band where your teacher will be posting class specific information.
Please let us know if you have any questions! Thank you,

First Step! Costumes!
To allow flexibility in purchasing your dancer's costume, the purchase window is open now - January 31st! There will be a $25 convenience fee added to each costume if ordered after January 31st.
This gives you about 70 days to purchase your dancer's recital costume! Our goal is always to help families with their budgets, and with dancers in multiple classes, we understand it can add up quickly! Families can space out their purchases for costumes by having a longer purchase window.
What is included in the costumes this year?
When you purchase a costume, you also receive the following:
• Costume & Accessories
• FREE alterations are provided to ensure your dancer can feel their best!
• Tights (if required for costume)
• NEW THIS YEAR: Each dancer will receive a kit of required makeup to keep extra costs down and ensure everyone has the same makeup. The makeup kit includes eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, lipstick, and mascara.
• Personal Sizing- All dancers will be measured by Ms. Amy or 360 staff personnel. You do not need to know your dancer's size to order costumes. We will order your dancer's costumes based on their measurements.
ORDER YOUR RECITAL COSTUME HERE
(https://shop360boutique.com/collections/costume-collections-2024)
Acro Production & Ballet Production - NEW for 2024
In an effort to keep costs to a minimum, the ballet and acro productions will not wear traditional costumes.
Acro - the package includes a colored leotard, shorts, and required makeup.
Ballet Production - the package includes matching black leotard, tights, a rental skirt, and required makeup.
Pictures by Jill Christine!
Pictures this year will run a little differently to fit more classes into the dress rehearsal schedule and make dress rehearsal shorter for students and families.
Cedar Rapids Classes will have individual and group pictures taken the week of in-studio dress rehearsal. After pictures, each class will have a parent viewing where they will practice their routine for parents only.
Solon Classes will have pictures taken at dress rehearsal, similar to in years past. Solon dancers will still have an in-studio dress rehearsal and parent showing on their final day of class. On dress rehearsal day at Priarie -Dancers will arrive ready for pictures and, following pictures will rehearse their routine on the stage.
Pre-order information will be sent later in the spring!

CORRECTION 9/15- All teams was intended to bring awareness of the inclusion of the Worlds teams. Juniors do not attend the Dells competition, rather Nation's Choice, Dancefest, and GLCC.
Dear Allstars families,
We understand the quick turnaround time for travel arrangements has been less than ideal, and we want to acknowledge that this is not our intent at Studio 360 whenever possible. However, we remain committed to being responsive to the needs of our families and athletes.
Behind the scenes, we’ve continued to advocate on your behalf. While Team Travel Source (TTS) did not have lower-price options available, we persisted in our outreach, and we’re pleased to share that TTS too was responsive and persistent with area hotels. We were able to secure a limited number of additional rooms at a more affordable rate.
We have secured 11 additional reservations at the Ramada by Wyndham Wisconsin Dells. If additional rooms become available after this booking period, you will be the first to know!

Please note that this is a required hotel stay booked through Team Travel Source (TTS) in partnership with Varsity. Studio 360 does not set hotel prices or select the hotels. Varsity requires all teams to book their hotel accommodations exclusively through TTS for required housing competitions.

Hello!
Due to All Star Auditions, we are changing the date of the Solon Acro production rehearsal to Friday, May 17th from 5:00-6:15 at the Empire.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please email Ms. Karli if you are unable to attend.
Let us know if you have any questions! Thanks.
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!
Dear World's Families,
We had a wonderful Pom choreography weekend! We can't wait to get to work with this routine and represent our area!
You can expect weekly emails on Fridays in the future to avoid the unexpected pop-up emails during the week. This hopefully will improve predictability and help families know what to expect. On occasion that we need to send a mid-week email, we will work to alert a team member via text message so they can quickly alert their teammates to check their inboxes.

Jill Christine Photography – Headshots & Action Shots
We are thrilled to share that each dancer will be booking a session with our amazing photographer, Jill Christine Photography, to capture their action shots!
Because everyone’s schedule is different, Jill has kindly agreed to meet individually with each dancer. Since each of our dancers represents a different part of our area, we thought it would be fun to highlight those communities! For example:
• Iowa City/North Liberty dancers – choose a local spot in your area for your action shots.
• Cedar Rapids dancers - selected a special Cedar Rapids location
• Marion dancers – select a location in Marion.
Please reach out to Jill this week to schedule your session. You can text her directly at 319-366-8689.
Our goal is to have all individual action shots completed by October 15th.
A group photo and official headshots will be taken at the studio at a later date, once our costumes arrive.
Attire: Lavender or Neon Purple and/or Mint or Lime Green dance attire colors - no logos, Hair is your choice.
Reminder, your essential package covers this cost.
Essential Package
We are excited to share that we’re in the final stages of designing the team tank, warm-up, and backpack! These designs will be revealed very soon, before we place the group order.
Update: The original essential package included spandex shorts. After discussing with the team, we learned that everyone already owns black spandex shorts. Instead of adding another pair, we will be including an additional team shirt in the package.
We can’t wait for everyone to see the final designs!
As always, thank you for being part of our Studio 360 Worlds Family. We’re excited for all that’s ahead and appreciate your continued support and engagement.
If you have any questions about any of the items above, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you,

Dear Allstar Families,

Attendance Policy Reminder
Rehearsal attendance is critical for team readiness. We want to emphasize how even one absence can affect the entire team’s performance and preparedness.
Please help us set the tone that commitments matter, especially when others are counting on you.
Here is the collective commitments dancers and families made for the 25-26 Season, found in the packet and the commitment documents signed by all.
If you are unable to schedule a private lesson due to scheduling challenges, please reach out directly to your coach and include the office email so we can work to create a plan for how your dancer can make up the material missed. You miss a day, you miss a lot!

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.
Attachment: Altered Schedule.pdf (https://jackrabbitstorage.blob.core.windows.net/prod/org_547365/orgfile/Altered%20Schedule_20230906163236.pdf)(164.6kB)
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!
Dear Mini National and Youth National teams,
We wanted to reach out right away with a new (and exciting!) opportunity for our Mini National and Youth National dancers. We know this was not originally on the calendar, and we recognize the quick turnaround—but we wanted to share the information as soon as the opportunity was presented to us.
This is an optional-but-strongly-encouraged opportunity to perform. However, we will only move forward if all dancers are available. We are currently gathering team availability, and final details—including performance order and viewer logistics—will be shared once we confirm participation with all team members and receive a final schedule from Monticello coaches.
Please fill out this survey no later than Friday, September 12th at noon on whether you are able to attend or not.
Dancer Availability(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3Jtcy5tb25kYXkuY29tL2Zvcm1zLzU0YTdjZTdmNGQ1OWEzODVjNTNkODMyMmY1YWI4ZmE0P3I9dXNlMQ==)
Tentative Performance Details
Who: Mini National & Youth National – all routines
When: Saturday, October 25th, approx. 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Where: Monticello High School
Why:
• FREE performance opportunity
• Early chance to get these routines on the floor before Nation’s Choice
• In-state opportunity for families to see the routines
• Chance to receive video feedback from coaches before competing for early bids
This is an optional-but-strongly-encouraged opportunity to perform. However, we will only move forward if all dancers are available. We are currently gathering team availability, and final details—including performance order and viewer logistics—will be shared once we confirm participation with all teams and receive a final schedule from Monticello coaches.
Thank you very much for your immediate attention as we continue to try and bring opportunities to these amazing teams at 360!
360 Allstars Leadership Team
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(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
Hello Allstar Families,
First and foremost, we want to extend our sincere apologies for the confusion caused by our previous email regarding hotel bookings for Nation’s Choice and Dance Fest.
Team Travel Source (TTS) had sent a communication to teams that created a sense of urgency we believed required our immediate action. Based on that, we sent an email stating that hotel bookings for these events had to go through TTS.
After further review, this is NOT the case.
✔️ Nation’s Choice (Nov 15) and
✔️ Dance Fest (Jan 9–10)
do NOT require housing through Team Travel Source.
We are grateful to those who quickly brought this to our attention, and while we’re sorry for the mix-up, we’re treating it as a “practice fire drill” to help us better navigate urgent travel communications going forward.
What You Need to Know:
We had already secured studio-negotiated room blocks for both of these events—at better pricing and with added perks. THANK YOU HOTEL HEATHER!! Many families have already booked using the links provided earlier in July for Nation's Choice (or will find them below).
Nation’s Choice – Madison, WI
Hotel: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Madison Central
Dates: Nov 14–16
Link:Studio 360 at Holiday Inn Express(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaWhnLmNvbS9ob2xpZGF5aW5uZXhwcmVzcy9ob3RlbHMvdXMvZW4vZmluZC1ob3RlbHMvc2VsZWN0LXJvb21yYXRlP2FkanVzdE1vbnRoPWZhbHNlJmZyb21SZWRpcmVjdD10cnVlJmljZHY9OTk4MDE1MDUmcUNpRD0xNCZxQ2lNeT0xMDIwMjUmcUNvRD0xNiZxQ29NeT0xMDIwMjUmcURlc3Q9NjEwJTIwSm9obiUyME5vbGVuJTIwRHJpdmUlMkMlMjBNYWRpc29uJTJDJTIwV0klMkMlMjBVUyZxR3JwQ2Q9QkNUJnFJdGE9OTk4MDE1MDUmcVJtRmx0cj0mcVNIQnJDPUVYJnFTbEg9TVNOUlImcVNydD1zQlImc2V0UE1Db29raWVzPXRydWUmc2hvd0FwcD10cnVlJnNyYl91PTE=)
• $129 King Standard
• $139 Two Queen Standard
• Shuttle to venue provided for dancers and coaches!
Dance Fest – Milwaukee, WI
Hotel: Hyatt Regency Milwaukee
Dates: Jan 9–10
Link:Studio 360 Dance Fest Reservation(https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9ib29rLnBhc3NrZXkuY29tL2V2ZW50LzUxMDkyNDYyL293bmVyLzI1OTkvaG9tZT91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249Mjk4MTE4NTA4)
• $109 Double Deluxe
• $109 King Deluxe
Note- Milwaukee hotel does not have a pool. The benefit here is that they are connected to the venue via skywalk, and they are offering discounted parking (you pay for parking anywhere downtown). BUT people can book wherever they want if they want to search for a hotel further out of town with a pool. Note that the Dells competition at Kalahari in February may be the pool time you are looking to capture.
*If you would like to keep your TTS bookings, you are welcome to do so and this will not create any issue on our end.
What IS Required for Future Events:
Team Travel Source will be required for our February and March competitions.
Details for those events will be communicated as early as this Friday, September 12. These events will have a 48-hour booking window through TTS, and we will make sure that is clearly outlined when the time comes.
Again, we deeply apologize for the miscommunication and appreciate everyone’s understanding and quick feedback. We’re grateful to have a community that looks out for one another, and we’re committed to keeping communication clear moving forward.
Thank you all for your continued support!
With gratitude for your grace,
360 Allstars Leadership Team
We are so excited to kick things off at our Pom Choreography this Sunday, September 7th from 8 am- 12 pm and 4- 8 pm at Studio 360!
A few families have asked the following questions and we are here to help in case others are also seeking clarification.
FAQs
Q: Why am I seeing a new monthly charge on my account?
A: Monthly tuition is processed on the 1st of each month automatically with the card on file for the months of September through April. The cost breakdown is shown below for the weekly rehearsal of 2.5 hours.
Q: Can I pay the total season cost for tuition up front rather than paying monthly?
A: Absolutely! We are happy to help accommodate your payment preferences whenever possible. Simply reply here at your earliest convenience and we will get that manually adjusted.
Q: Is tuition a separate charge from my program fees and if so, what was included in that?
A: Yes, program fees are different from monthly tuition. These cover costs associated with the Worlds team separate from weekly rehearsals, including the below items:
Q: Is there a more detailed breakdown of each of those costs?
A: At 360, we strive to lead with integrity and transparency. All costs and payment options for program fees and tuition fees are detailed in the packet below.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Please arrive in dress code. Get a good night's sleep, eat well before arriving, bring a water bottle and a full lunch.
Monday and Tuesday have three teams, so plan ahead with a cooler containing ice packs to keep lunches from jamming up the fridge.
Due to recent daytime wanderers in the area, dancers will not be allowed to leave to go to Subway unless accompanied by a parent. Please plan accordingly.
Encourage your dancer to have a positive and dedicated attitude, as these will be full sessions.
If your dancer has classes in the evening, parents do not need to pick up in between at 3:30 as staff will be on site.
Thank you in advance for being committed to the whole team's attendance.
We can't wait to reveal this season's fabulous routines!
All stars pictures
Friday, August 1st
Picture Order:
• Lavender top and denim: Individual headshots and team photo
• Change into dance wear, then 2 posed photos (previously called action shots)
Styling: Dancers may wear their hair styled to their preference. Makeup should be natural, rather than stage/all stars competition makeup.
Attire for headshot and team photo: Lavender top and denim bottoms. This can include jeans, shorts, or skirts. Thank you for making this correction, as we are trying something new!
Attire for posed photos: Dance wear color of dancer's choice. We love seeing Studio 360 Colors of Green or Purple.
• A 360 Staff member will be present to pose your dancer. Dancers may come with a few ideas, but manage expectations that this may not be the final result. What your dancer has in mind may not photograph well when considering angles, ability to cheat one's smile front, and overall technique execution.
Essential package fulfillment
ALL essential package items will be ordered and fulfilled in the upcoming month. Amy has all measurements for our new style of Allstars black leotard, along with tights, and other apparel. You will need to book an appointment (https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly9jYWxlbmRseS5jb20vYXRvbWFzaC0xLzM2MC1ib3V0aXF1ZS1hcHBvaW50bWVudD9tb250aD0yMDI1LTA3)with Amy in the upcoming two weeks to have your dancer sized for footwear. If you wish to size up to use later in the season, you may indicate this to Amy at that time.
Once essential package items are ordered, this will complete the year's purchases and families will be invoiced for any future purchases. This is different than our 2024-25 season, but similar to the 2023-2024 season.
Allstars Website
We will continue to utilize the 360 Allstars webpage (https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/click/dpheh0hzhm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3R1ZGlvMzYwZGFuY2UubmV0LzI1LTI2LXRlYW0tY29tbXVuaWNhdGlvbnM=)to house the season calendar, and a log of each of the emails sent to support our communication efforts.

National Teams compete at 4 regional competitions in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Des Moines to receive a BID to the Varsity All Star Summit Competition in Orlando, Florida. National dancers compete in Orlando, Florida May 4th - 5th. Summit is the highest level of competitive dance for All Star dancers! This is a highly competitive experience that is similar to College Nationals. Dancers compete against teams from around the US and world! Including teams from Japan, UK, Australia, and more!
National dancers will be placed in at minimum of two routines. One routine will be in the pom style. Dancers may be invited to dance in additional routines as a crossover and/or in regional routines.
Hello 360 Allstars families,
We are off to a great start in the season and loved watching the growth that took place during Allstars camp, and last week's choreography! Thank you for all of your support in helping us get up and running for a Season 9 to remember!
Below you fill find key dates and deadlines, reminders of things outlined in the packet, and a few changes. Thank you for staying informed and marking these things for future reference. We will continue to communicate with you as soon as elements become finalized, or if something changes.
Rhinestoning
Families looking to reduce costs can opt to rhinestone their dancer’s costume in-studio under the supervision of an authorized costume manager, saving $35 per costume. However, if the rhinestone work does not meet standards, the full replacement cost of the costume plus shipping will be required. Please sign up to indicate your final preference.
To streamline the communication process, please ensure you complete the below survey no later than Thursday, July 3rd.
This cost savings will be applied as a credit to your account on August 1st, to be used towards costume fees charged on that date.
*Payment plans: this credit will be available on the account to be used towards payment plans charged on the 15th of the month. You will see this effective August 1st, once monthly tuition has been processed.

Studio 360 School of dance reserves the right to cancel classes with fewer than five registered dancers. Tuition will be refunded, or the dancer can choose an alternate style.
Drop without required payment date: 2/1/2023
If a student withdraws from a class before February 1st, Studio 360 School of Dance must be notified in writing that the dancer will no longer be enrolled in a course before the 1st of the month and will be charged for the following month.
Dancers that drop from class after 2/1/2023
Families dropping classes after the February 1st deadline will be charged full tuition for the remaining semester until June 4, 2023. This is because in signing up for classes, families make the total semester commitment regardless if the dancer is attending class.
No refunds are given for purchased costumes. Refunds issued will only go onto the dancer's account. If it is a Studio 360, cash or card refunds will be provided.
Student Code of Conduct
• I promise to be kind and respectful to my peers, teachers, and parents. I will treat others how I would want to be treated.
• I promise to follow all dress codes and rules discussed so that everyone has a positive dance experience.
• I promise to give 100% effort into all of my classes as my teachers want the best for me and to see me succeed. Each critique is a personal investment my teacher makes for me, and I can grow as a dancer.
• I promise to be positive and have a growth mindset to learn and grow in dance. I will tell myself positive things, and when things are hard for me, I will remember that I am learning and growing, and it's okay for something to be complicated.
• I promise to attend classes regularly and be on time. In addition, I will keep my cell phones in my bag and not wear a smartwatch.
• I promise to have positive intent. My teachers might give me a critique to make me a better dancer, not to bring me down.
Parent Code of Conduct
To have a positive and enjoyable dance experience for all families, we ask that the parents follow a code of conduct policy to ensure that their dancer has a positive dance experience.
• I promise to be positive and encouraging during my dancer's dance education. I know that dance education is about growth and that the lessons my dancer is learning are more than just dance steps.
• I promise to help prepare my dancer for class by getting my dancer to class on time and in dress code to help them learn the valuable lesson of responsibility and being on time.
• I promise not to gossip and be “that kind of dance mom” in the lobby. If I have a problem, I will directly solve the problem professionally and kindly.
• I promise to have positive intent and remember as the instructors want the best for my dancer and are helping my child grow through dance education.
• I will focus on my child’s growth and promise not to compare my dancer to others, as no two dancers are alike.
• I will encourage my dancer to be Fearless and to accept feedback. I understand my child will be pushed outside of their comfort zone, and it will enable them to take chances. I know that making mistakes is part of growing, and I will encourage my child to continue and push through.
• I promise to read all my emails and make sure that I keep up to date with studio happenings and with my account.
Failure of conduct could include suspension and removal from class and studio. Refunds will not be given to students and families that are removed due to violating the code of conduct.
I must have a valid credit card in my account and understand that Studio 360 will run my entire balance automatically on the 1st of each month. Please make payment on the first to avoid a $35 late fee. Pay by the 10th of the month to ensure the dancer can attend class when the balance is paid in full. No exceptions.
All private lessons must be paid via a punch card. Private lessons are only held with a valid punch card on file with punches available.
Any fees, including competition and registration fees, must be paid in full before the dancer can attend class and competition. Dancers must pay competition fees by the due date to be registered in the competition.
No refunds are given for missed or canceled classes, including weather and Covid-related cancellations. However, dancers are allowed and encouraged to make up any missed classes.
Enrollment is only allowed for a new session if the balance is paid in full.
I understand that if I fail to make payment after 60 days, Studio 360 will turn my account into collections, which could hurt my credit report.

Our program is dedicated to fostering focused technique growth. We go beyond technique to prioritize confidence in performance, helping dancers enhance their stage presence and teamwork skills. Our team annually offers four performance opportunities, including in-studio events and showcases, ensuring dancers can showcase their skills and build confidence.
Designed as a stepping stone for dancers (6 - 12 years old) aspiring to join competitive teams, our performance team focuses on developing technique, stamina, resilience, and performance quality over a year of growth.
Joining our performance team provides a unique opportunity for dancers passionate about elevating their skills in a supportive environment, making it the perfect choice for those seeking more opportunities without the competitive aspects.

What to Expect:
• Performance team showcases their routines for family/friends twice in a semester at Studio 360. The performance team will dance in the All Star Showcase the first weekend in January and at the June Recital. Performance team may have 1 - 2 additional performances in the community.
• Dancers learn one routine in the summer/fall and a second routine in the spring semester. Dancers will also showcase their skills to their family and friends to show learning progress.
• All dancers take one ballet class, one skills class, and one leveled Acro class. In addition to technique classes dancers have a 45 minute rehearsal once a week during the week to rehearse their routines.
*Auditions take place in late spring for the upcoming season
