Contact Us Anytime

We believe that an open line of communication between the dance teacher and the parents is essential to a successful dance experience. Our teachers will email the class periodically to update the parents on the progress of the class and any other pertinent class information. The studio will also email everyone regularly with all studio news, recital information, new class information, special events, and contests/special offers. So, please check your email regularly! If you are not receiving newsletters and updates from us, please let us know so we can communicate to you well! We encourage you to contact us or your child’s teacher with any questions that arise throughout the year.

Class Parties & Food Allergies

Please let the office staff and your child’s teacher know of any food allergies your child may have so it can be added as a note on your account. If you are planning to bring anything for the class to enjoy (birthdays, etc.) please call the studio or email the teacher ahead of time. We ask that if you bring in
food for the class that you also bring along the ingredients list. When bringing in something please keep it simple. During Party Weeks, the studio will provide juice/water, pretzels, chips, cookies, etc. If your child has any food allergies please leave us a list of acceptable alternatives. For the dancers who cannot consume the above, we will be happy to accommodate you with snacks that do not cause any allergic reactions, or you may bring in your own snack if you like. If you have any questions regarding this matter please email dancedynamicsga@gmail.com.

Join DDC Competition Team

The Dance Dynamics Dance Company is a performance-based team for dancers who wish for additional performance opportunities throughout the year, to further build their technique, and to grow as dancers. The team competes 3-4 times per year and travels to various cities around Georgia. This company offers professional training in all genres of dance and exposes young aspiring dancers to opportunities that will enhance their dance knowledge, dance vocabulary, technical ability, and stage presence.

ADDED EXPENSES:
January Dress Rehearsal Fee for dance company members only: $20 per dancer plus costumes, makeup, entry fees, travel expenses, etc.

Annual Recital Production

Our Annual Dance Production is part of the student’s dance education and gives the dancers the opportunity to dance at The Grand Opera House. We hope to be able to have our recital in the theatre this year. If we are not able to perform in the theatre at that time, we will still have our dancers perform for a virtual dance recital as we did this past year. We recorded the dancers in the studio and posted the video to our Facebook page. Our recital is usually held at the beginning of June and each student will be required to attend classes regularly, attend rehearsals associated with the recital, and pay for any costume(s) needed for their number(s).

Our Annual Recital Production is scheduled to be held at The Grand Opera House. We chose this venue because of it’s state-of-the-art facilities, staff, seating capacity, and it’s Middle Georgia’s most elegant theatre.
