💗 PDC REMINDERS 💗

Hi everyone! Just a few important reminders as we head into September! 🩰✨

📱 GROUPME
I am currently logged out of GroupMe and unable to see any messages being sent to me through the app. I am working on getting the issue resolved, but in the meantime, please know that I am not ignoring any messages. I simply cannot see them right now!

💳 TUITION & ACCOUNTS
September tuition has been posted to your account! Tuition is billed out on the 23rd of each month and is due by the 1st. The late fee will be added to any unpaid accounts after the 1st, so please make sure payments are taken care of on time.

💧 WATER BOTTLES
Please make sure dancers are bringing a LEAKPROOF, reusable water bottle to class! We have had several disposable water bottles and bottles without secure lids spill in dance bags and around the studio.

Please avoid sending disposable plastic water bottles when possible. If your dancer is in one of our 2–5 year old classes, please make sure their name is clearly on their water bottle so we can easily keep up with whose is whose!

🩰 DRESS CODE & SHOES
Please make sure dancers are coming to class in the proper dance attire AND bringing the correct shoes for each class!

A few quick reminders:
• Hair should be secured back and out of the dancer’s face.
• Jeans and jean shorts are not permitted for dance class.
• Please make sure names are written inside shoes, especially with so many dancers having identical pairs!

👟 HIP-HOP
A special reminder for our hip-hop classes: dancers need to come dressed appropriately for hip-hop! Leggings, joggers, athletic pants, etc. are perfect.

Please NO jeans or jean shorts. Dancers also need CLEAN sneakers that are designated for dance class and are not being worn outside. This helps us keep dirt, rocks, and everything else from outside off of the studio floors!

Thank you everyone! We are excited for another great month at PDC! Pictures from this week will be posted shortly!💗✨

🩷✨ The secret is finally out... ✨🩷

We are so excited to introduce something we have been thoughtfully working on behind the scenes...

🩰 Phoenix Dance Shop 🩰
Coming Early September

One of the things we love most about Phoenix Dance Shop is that it is truly for everyone. 🩷 You do not have to dance at Phoenix Dance Company to shop with us. Our doors will be open to dancers, gymnasts, families, and members of our community looking for beautiful, quality pieces at affordable prices.

We have thoughtfully curated a collection of dancewear and shoes, gymnastics leotards, warm-ups, athletic pieces, accessories, and plenty of special finds in between. You may even spot a few fun favorites tucked throughout the shop, including our dumpling and cube squishies. ✨ With a variety of brands, styles, sizes, and price points, our goal is to offer a selection our community can be excited to shop. And there will always be something new to discover, with new pieces arriving every week as Phoenix Dance Shop continues to grow!

Affordability has been incredibly important to us from the very beginning. 🩷 We understand that spending $40–$50 on a single leotard that a growing child may quickly outgrow simply is not practical for every family. You will not find a single $40–$50 leotard on our racks. We have been intentional about choosing quality pieces at prices that make sense, because beautiful dancewear should not have to come with an unreasonable price tag.

We also know that shopping for dancewear online can be complicated. Sizing varies between brands, fit can be unpredictable, and returns and reordering take time. At Phoenix Dance Shop, you can simply come in, browse, compare, try it on, and leave knowing you have the right fit.

And in our area, shopping for dancewear in person can mean driving nearly two hours.

We wanted to change that.

We wanted to create something beautiful, convenient, affordable, and close to home. 🩷

Shopping will be just as simple at checkout, with cash, check, credit and debit cards, and contactless tap-to-pay all accepted at Phoenix Dance Shop!

We are also incredibly grateful that a portion of this project was made possible through our Downtown Together Initiative grant. We are so thankful for the opportunity and support that helped us bring this vision to life in our downtown community.Monroeville Main Street

So much love and thought has gone into every detail, and we are beyond excited to finally share this next piece of Phoenix with you.

🩰 Phoenix Dance Shop
🩷 Open to Everyone
✨ Beautiful Pieces. Affordable Prices.
💳 Cards + Tap-to-Pay Accepted
🛍️ Coming Early September

The secret is officially out, and we cannot wait to welcome you in. 🩷✨

Official opening date + a few special sneak peeks coming very soon

💕 What a great first week of dance! 💕

Our first week back is officially in the books, and we are so excited for this year! We definitely did not get nearly as many pictures as we planned but we did manage to grab a few sweet moments from the 2-5 year old classes this week!

It was so much fun seeing our returning dancers back in the studio and getting to welcome so many new faces into our Phoenix family. We have such a fun year ahead of us, and this week made me even more excited for everything that is coming! 💕

A few quick reminders as we head into week two:

💕 If you have not joined our new GroupMe yet, please make sure you do! This is one of our main forms of communication throughout the year. Class updates, schedule changes, cancellations, performance information, pictures, reminders, and other important information will all be shared there, so it is very important that at least one parent/guardian from each family is in the group.

💕 Competition families, a separate Competition Team GroupMe will be created soon! More information will be sent out once that is ready.

💕 Please continue to make sure dancers arrive no more than 10 minutes before their class time and come dressed and ready for class with the correct shoes. Please also make sure names are written inside shoes, bags, water bottles, and anything else coming into the studio. With young 2-3 year old dancers, things can get mixed up very quickly!

And before we wrap up our first week, we have to give the biggest thank you to Mrs. Amy! 💕 There truly are not enough words for how much of a help she is. From jumping in wherever she is needed, helping our dancers, and keeping things moving smoothly!

And a huge thank you to our amazing helpers, Juju, Peyton, Beckham, and Emma! These girls have stepped up in such a big way and have been absolutely wonderful with our younger dancers. We appreciate every single thing they do and could not be more thankful for them! 💕

Week one done! 🩰 We cannot wait to see everyone back in the studio for week two and continue working toward all of the exciting things we have coming this year! 💕

Thank you for believing in and supporting local businesses like ours Monroeville Main Street. We are so thankful to be a part of Downtown Monroeville! 🩰✨

And we hope y’all are just as excited as we are, because we have some VERY exciting things coming soon! 💗 We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on!

🩰✨ FIRST DAY OF DANCE IS TOMORROW! ✨🩰

We are SO excited to officially kick off a brand new season at Phoenix Dance Company tomorrow! We can’t wait to have everyone back in the studio and welcome all of our new dancers for their very first day! 🤍

📱 Before classes begin, please make sure you have joined our NEW GroupMe! This is very important, as GroupMe will be one of our main forms of communication throughout the season. Important reminders, schedule changes, closures, performance information, and other updates will be posted there. If you were in one of our groups last season, you will still need to join the new group for this season! Make sure you open the link in your browser for it to work!

https://groupme.com/join_group/115966509/wIma7A7S

We’ve also been BUSY this summer! There are so many new additions and little changes throughout the studio, so when you come in this week, see how many you can spot! 👀✨

A few quick reminders before we get started:

🩰 If you ordered shoes during Open House, everything has arrived! Your order will be ready for you to pick up on your dancer’s first day of class.

✨ Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled class time. The doors will remain locked until 10 minutes before class.

🩰 Make sure your dancer arrives dressed and ready for class with the correct shoes, hair secured, and their name written inside their belongings.

💳 If you have an unpaid balance on your account, you received an email yesterday. All balances must be taken care of before your dancer can participate in class, so please check your email and account before arriving this week.

And while you’re looking around at everything that has changed this summer… keep your eyes open. 👀

Because we’re not finished yet.

Something BIG is coming to Phoenix Dance Company at the end of August/beginning of September. 🤫✨

Think you know what it is? Drop your guess in the comments! 👀 We will NOT confirm or deny any guesses until the official reveal, so you’ll just have to wait and see!

We can’t wait to see everyone, hear all about your summers, and get this season started!

SEE YOU TOMORROW! 🩰✨
