We have been in overdrive preparing for our summer and for
next fall. Our website has been updated
to reflect all times and tuition. We are
waiting on our brochures to arrive. Here are changes coming for the future:
1. In art, Mrs. Janine will be leaving
Soar. We are so thankful for the care
and expertise that she has brought to our art program. Mrs. Jessee will be taking this back on. She was our first art teacher at Soar. We will only have one section of each art
class so make sure to get in early.
2. Mr. Dylan will not be with us after
this semester. He will be completing his
student teaching for his college degree.
We wish him all the best.
3. You will have four music teachers to
choose from. Mr. Sean teaches all levels
of piano. Mrs. Jolie teaches voice. Mr. Fidel teaches Levels 1 and 2 of
piano. Mrs. Jessee will teach a few
guitar lessons in the summer. In the
fall, Mrs. Jessee will teach guitar and voice.
4. Miss Stephanie will be with us in a
limited capacity next year. She is
working on getting her masters degree in dance.
She is currently looking into several programs that she has been
accepted into. Miss Stephanie will be
brought in to choreograph a few of our competition solos.
5. Mrs. Ashley, Miss Lauren, Miss Hope,
and Miss Sara will be your dance teachers.
Miss Hope is being promoted to our assistant competition director also.
6. Our hip-hop classes have exploded in
growth. To keep up with the increase, we
are splitting our age groups up more.
Hip Hop Bop will be for ages 5-7.
Hip Hop 1 is for ages 8-10. Hip
Hop 2 is for ages 11-13. Hip Hop 3 is
for ages 14 and up.
7. The majority of things we offer will
have the same prices – costumes, music classes, music recital fee… However, due to an increase in our expenses,
we had to raise the prices on a few things:
Some dance and art classes were raised by $5 to $10 per month. Our registration fee was raised by $5. Our dance recital fee is rising but this is
to provide a digital copy of the recital that each student is in. This fee will now be built into the dance
recital fee. Our Congratulations Notes
will still be a fundraiser to help our dancers with the recital fee. It is still our goal to provide a quality
fine arts education at a price that our families can afford.
8. Our children’s piano curriculum may
be changing. This is due to not being
able to get the regular curriculum from the publisher. We have a back up plan, but this will be
based on availability.
We are
looking forward to an incredible 7th season. Be looking for a new blog coming soon that
will explain next year’s theme, The Elements!
