Upcoming Recital, etc.
A few items of business for competition teams:
1. Don't forget that all dancers need their tights and shoes from "All That Dance Wear" 390-9650 for Winter Recital next week. If they do not have them they will not perform.......we have a high standard for comp teams :)
Please remember that IDS is not associated with this store. I just tell her what shoes and color of tights I want for the girls. I don't know who has paid and who has not.....sorry.
2. ALL JAZZERETTES need to bring back their ballet costumes to dance ASAP because the back ordered ones will not get here in time so we have rushed ordered a new outfit......OH THE JOYS OF COSTUME ORDERING!!!
3. Jazzerettes are performing at both recitals! Juniors and Minis are Dec 11th and Smalls and Tinys are Dec 9th and 10th
4. Get Recital fee paid before dress rehearsal because its hard on Jill to have to track people down and try to get her 3 girls ready as well. We would really appreciate it. :)
5. Mnis have extra practice on Monday from 7-8pm
6. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A TINYS PRACTICE Saturday DEC 18th from 9-10 am.....will that work for tinys?
7.Thanks and I love your dancer! They are all working soo hard!
Thanks Gertie

Winter Recital Information
First of all: It's Parents week this week!! All of you wonderful parents are invited to come into your children's classes to see what they have been working on! :) Please remember to be courteous to your dancer and their instructor and not to distract from the class.
Just to clarify: The Eastside refers to our studio on 17th out in Ammon. Central refers to our studio on 15th St. And the "Tinys, Minis, Smalls, Juniors, and Jazzerettes" are our auditioned competition teams that all attend at the Central studio.
basic rehearsal and show time information: The dancers need to be at Hillcrest 10 minutes before their stage rehearsal time.
A dress rehearsal means that you have full hair, make-up and costume on just like you will for the real show! Your dancer will be receiving a handout in class describing their costume pieces and how they should be worn along with how their hair and make-up should be done. (A heads up for all Ballet moms: All ballet shoes and tights need to be pink!
If you need to purchase any shoes or tights, you can contact Cassie Murdock will "All That Dancewear" at 390-9650
At Hillcrest there is a side stage door by a garage door facing Sunnyside road that dancers can come in through with one parent only. If your dancer is in only 1 dance that night we also ask that they come and go in the costume because of limited dressing rooms.

We ask that you DO NOT tape off seats to save for your family and friends during dress rehearsal. The stage crew of Hillcrest will remove it. If you would like to save seats the doors open at 5:15 and then you are welcome to sit and save for your family and friends.It will not be as crowded as last year because we have cut the show into 2 shows, but still be aware that there will be a big crowd.

Your dancer will NOT be able to perform if:
1.Recital fee of $15.00 per dancer or $25.00 per family of dancers is NOT paid.
The $15 recital fee (or $25 for more than one dancer) is to pay for the auditorium. There will be no admission for your family and friends. PLEASE include your recital fee with your December tuition. There will be a list of unpaid fees at dress rehearsal and we will be checking each class as they are rehearsing. It is really a hassle to be collecting money at the auditorium, so please be considerate and get it paid before the show.
2. Costume is not paid for.
If you have not yet received a costume price they will be posted soon. I will send another e-mail out at the end of the week with costume prices listed for each class. Many of you have already paid and we so appreciate that!! Please get your money in as soon as possible so we can have everything ready to distribute. Thanks!!
3. Your account is in the negative and you have fees past due.
If you have certain circumstances where any of these might be very difficult to do please contact Gretchen Hunsaker (Owner) and she will be more then happy to discuss things over with you :)
There WILL be dance held the week after the recital.
Dance lets out for the Christmas break on December 17th and resumes Monday, January 3rd.
And now a personal note from Gretchen:
I am very excited to see these awesome dancers hard at work in these 2 shows. I am also VERY VERY proud of my instructors and the work they have put into
choreographing each dance and the love and discipline they show their students. I am happy to have everyone of you dancers, parents, and teachers part of the IDS family!
I have really had fun getting to know some of the new ones and still look forward to meeting you all.
Thank you!!!
Gertie
Phew. I think that is all for now! Watch for costume prices. There is also a sheet hanging in each studio with updated prices if you need to know how much your costume is.

Upcoming Competition Fees
Just reminding you that our first competition fees are due no later than November 22. The cost is:
$60 for Tinys, $80 for Minis, $120 for Smalls, $160 for Juniors and $240 for Jazzerettes.
The second fee is due by January first and is for the same amount.
If you sold cookie dough, you should've received a separate e-mail with your amount of credit. If you'd like me to apply your credit to your competition fees, please let me know.
Gretchen wanted me to stress the importance of getting these paid on time. She has to register for our competitions well before the dates we arrive and it is difficult for her to do when payments are late.
Thanks in advance!!

Attention Competition Teams Only
Hey Competition Team Moms!
Just a reminder that September tuition is due no later than September 10th! If it is not paid by then, a $10 late fee will be added to your account.
We've had a little confusion on tuition amounts.
Gretchen raised her prices by $5 / month.
So:
Jazzerettes and Juniors: $95/month
Smalls: $75/month
Minis: $65/month
Tinys: $45/month
Please make note and plan accordingly. Some people knew of this change and some did not. Sorry for not letting everyone know. It was an oversight on our part.
If you have studio dancers, the same applies. It is $35 for the first hour and $10 for each additional class they are taking.
***NOTE!*** The Second costume payment is due October 4th. Start planning now!
We hope you are all pleased with the way things are going! We are SO excited for this upcoming year.
Thanks so much!

Competition Team Costume Fee #1 Due Aug 9
Hello All Competition Team Moms
I really hope you all read the paper work given to you and your dancer at tryouts on June 5th.
I am starting to worry because the warm-up fee was due June 25th and I still have not received all payments :(
The 1st costume deposit is due AUGUST 9TH......a week from today!
Tinys $75.00
Minis $75.00
Smalls $100.00
Juniors $145.00
Jazzerettes $175.00
The information about fees and dates should be on that pink paper that was handed out at tryouts titled "2010-2011 Competition Fees"
If you do not have one of these papers PLEASE PLEASE come and get from me next week! We broke up the competition fees and costume fees into 2 payments each this year so you would not have a huge amount due at once. Please don't be late paying this...I hate putting late fees on your accounts.
Thanks Gertie
Can't wait for next week........next week does not cost anything for Smalls or Juniors. Jazzerettes you just pay $50.00 for Ali to IDS

Celebrity Dance Competition Results
Hi All
WOW!!! What an amazing weekend for IDS!!! We were on fire Saturday and it showed big time and paid off big time as well. For those who are unfamiliar with the scoring system this is how it works:
Each dance itself is judged on how many points it gets, Platinum being the highest then High Gold, Gold, and Silver.
Then they take the highest points and give 1st, 2nd, 3rd in their STYLE category (Like Hip Hop, jazz, modern, etc.)
Then they take the entire age group with all style categories and give the overall awards of 1st overall, 2nd overall, 3rd overall.....this is the highest level you can achieve at Celebrity!
So with that being said hold on to your seats because IDS ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!
Sadie and Bayden got a High Gold and a 1st in category and 2nd overall!!!

Thank you all!
I just want my studio family and friends at IDS to know how much I appreciate everything they are doing to keep IDS strong! My staff is so amazing and wonderful. Thank you for caring about your dancers in such a way that you want them to succeed in dance and teaching them how not only to be a better dancer, but better people as well!
Thank you to such wonderful parents of all the IDS dancers for allowing us to teach them! And all the extras you do around IDS to help keep my sanity!
And thank you to all my wonderful dancers! One of my most favorite things is watching you grow into a beautiful dancer. I can't believe how hard our competition teams have worked this year to get ready! The staff and I are always talking about how amazing each team is this year and how hard they work and how much we love our girls (and you too, Tyler)! It's incredible to me how much these little dancers love to dance. I know they would have to, to put up with me :) It has been crazy practices because we are competing an entire month earlier then normal, but the teams look so GOOD!
I am so excited to go and cheer them on! Parents we need a loud cheer section because you would not believe how much it helps the team get fired up! Thanks again to everyone who is a part of IDS. I truly feel so blessed to have each and every one of you as a part of my life.
Love Gertie
