💖🌟 Good morning dance family!!! 🌟💖

Just a heads up that if you have messaged me here, all paperwork went out today. (Both myself and Carol have been away on vacation).

We will be meeting next week and setting up a tentative schedule for this year. Again, if you are a returning student and have not yet reached out to us to place your child on the list, please do so ASAP. Most especially our combo classes!! They are filling up QUICK.

As always should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! Have a great day! 💕

Good morning dance family! I wanted to share these photos with you all. Some of you may know her, others may not, this is Carol’s oldest daughter, Lara. Lara traveled to Boston this past weekend and participated in and completed the Susan G. Komen 3-day/60 mile walk dedicated to ending breast cancer through fundraising, awareness, and honoring those affected by the disease. For those who do not know, (our owner) Carol battled (and thankfully defeat) breast cancer many years ago. Lara walked in honor of her mother. 🩷 Carol surprised Lara on the last day of the walk and finished the very last mile with her. 🩷 What an incredibly special and emotional experience for them both. 💕 Lara is more than just Carol’s daughter, she is my lifelong friend (and was MY dance partner from childhood through HS graduation). Lara is also our dedicated “backstage” helper every single year at our recital. We truly couldn’t do what we do without her!! We are so proud of you Lara and so thankful that Carol made it through her tough battle and has continued to bless so many of us through the Stissing Loft. 💝 We love you both so much!! 🩷

Good morning Dance Family!! It’s been awhile!!! 🙏🏻😃🤩 We have missed you and hope you all have been enjoying your summer vacation!!!!

Registration letters have been sent out to all of last year’s students. We give our prior students the opportunity to “register first” before we open up our registration to the public. We cannot stress how helpful to us it is to get your child registered asap. It helps us to know class sizes, the number of classes we need and to formulate a rough schedule for the teachers. Some classes fill quickly (ie the Combo classes) and often times we do have to close classes when the size is too great. So if you intend on signing your child back up for dance, don’t delay! Let us know right away!!

If you know anyone who is interested in joining our dance family, please send them our way!! They can contact me here on Facebook or email us at: [email protected].

We hope you enjoy these last few weeks of summer, and we look forward to seeing you all again in September.

💖🌟GOOD MORNING dance family!!🌟💖

A few things as we are one day away from SHOWTIME!! 🤩🤩

🌟TOMORROW MORNING (Saturday 6/6) is DRESS REHEARSAL at 9:00 AM at the HIGH SCHOOL. This is the official dress rehearsal so please come in costume. For students in multiple classes bring all of your costumes as this is your “practice” run to see how much time you have in between numbers to change! This is important!

🌟THERE IS NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM!! This is a SCHOOL rule!!! It is a PRIVILEGE for us to use the HS auditorium, not a right! The school puts rules in place, and we must (and wish to!!) ABIDE BY THEIR RULES. I know 9 am is early!! I know you will arrive with your coffees and morning snacks. PLEASE leave those out in the lobby, and do NOT bring them into the auditorium. If we see you with anything other than water, we will ask you to wait in the lobby. Please don’t make us do that. 🙏🏻😃

🌟The dress rehearsal is a CLOSED REHEARSAL. No one should be present at the dress rehearsal other than the students and their parent/guardian/adult responsible for them. Family, extended family and friends are not allowed to attend the dress rehearsal. That is what the show is for!! 🙏🏻😃

🌟RECITAL is 7 pm! We ask all dancers to be backstage in the music room by 6:30. Adults you may walk your dancers back to the room and then head back to the audience. ALL dancers will remain in the music room for the duration of the show. At NO TIME is ANY ONE permitted to be sitting in the audience during the show. Dress rehearsal is the opportunity for all students to watch and support each other. The show all dancers remain backstage as it moves quickly and we cannot “stop” the show if someone is not where they’re supposed to be. Please abide by this very important rule. 🙏🏻

🌟COMBO I, COMBO II/III and TAP 1 parents: Due to the ages of these classes, we will need two parent volunteers to sit in the music room with these classes during the show. YOU WILL NOT MISS YOUR CHILD’s number. We line them up in the hallway two numbers prior to theirs, and at that time you will be able to go around and enter the auditorium, watch your child’s performance, take pictures and video and when their number is finished you will come around to the hallway and take them back into the music room. We appreciate the help as the little ones need that extra supervision and support while sitting in the music room.

🌟TICKET SALES are at the door. (No link - we’re old school. 😎). Each dancer receives one complimentary ticket for a parent/guardian to use. Other than that tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for senior citizens and children 2-12. Under 2 are free. THE STISSING LOFT DOES NOT PROFIT from recital ticket sales. 🙏🏻😃 For 45 years we have donated back our proceeds to various causes within the school. Since the inception of the Stissing Theatre Guild our recital proceeds have gone to purchase lighting and sound equipment, props for the show and senior scholarship awards. This year’s recital proceeds will continue to benefit the theatre guild. We thank you for your continued support!!

We look forward to seeing you all!! You have worked hard all year and now is the time to put it all together and get on that stage and SHINE!! ✨ We are so proud of all our dancers!! We will see you tmro morning!

As always if any questions, please feel free to message me!! Have a great day!

Good morning dance family!! Today is the day of our individual class rehearsals (NOT dress rehearsal) at the HS auditorium!!! This gives each class an opportunity to stage their dances a couple times prior to next Saturday’s dress rehearsal. I am posting the class times below. Again, PLEASE NOTE this is not your normal class time. These times have been put together to coordinate with the teachers’ work schedules, so things are bumped around. Please also note these are SHORTENED time slots. Some classes only have 15 minutes, others up to 30. Parents are welcome to stay rather than drop off as the time is short. Please make every effort to attend tonight’s class!! Thank you and we will see you then! As always any questions or problems, please message me and lmk!! Jazz Adv will return to practice the opening at 7:15!!
