Dancers of the Month:
Congratulations to our January Dancers of the Month! They are Alicia Call,
Olivia LeBlanc, and Abigail Biel. This group of ladies not only dance in recreational classes but are also members of the KDC dance team. They have shown great leadership, kindness toward their classmates, and are not only helpful but also respectful to their teachers and coaches. They truly represent what KDC is all about.
Congratulations ladies!! We are so proud of you!!

They may also wear black bike shorts, capri or full length leggings OVER a leotard. Tights are optional. They are also welcome to wear a KDC t-shirt/tank/or long sleeve pull-over. Hair MUST be pulled up and off the face BEFORE class.

Snow Days:
If Chester School is canceled due to severe weather, daytime classes (starting before 3:30 p.m.) will automatically be canceled. However, this does NOT necessarily mean that evening dance classes are canceled. We will send an email to you by 2:00 pm if classes are canceled for the night. Please note: Saturday morning classes will receive a text from Ms Jennie by 8 am if classes will not be held due to weather/roads.
Make-up Lessons:
If you are absent for any reason, or have a lesson canceled, you are welcome to make up the class missed in another scheduled class appropriate for your age and experience level.

Statements were emailed last week. Please reach out if you did not receive yours.
Dancers at Heart Benefit Performance:
This past weekend our dance team had the opportunity to perform at the “Dancers at Heart” Benefit Performance. The “Dancers at Heart” foundation is a non-profit organization that donates to charities like Boston Children’s Hospital, Make A Wish, and other organizations that deal with tragic loss or devastation.
We were invited to bring three dances to the show. There were dancers from all over New England performing all day. It was an amazing experience. Our girls brought their very best!! We were not only proud of their performance but the way they carried themselves, showed respect, and gave words of encouragement to other dance studios performing that day. I was so proud of them and our KDC coaches.
KDC Dance Teams Competitions:
Reminder that the competitions are right around the corner. It is imperative that you attend ALL your classes, be prepared and ready to work!!
Dance To Inspire: April 7th & 8th
Elite Dance Challenge: May 12th-14th
I will not have a schedule until the week prior to each competition.
Looking to join the KDC Dance Teams???:
Is your dancer ready to take their dance experience to the next level? We would love to give her that opportunity! We will hold auditions for dancers wanting to join in May.
