Kerry’s Dance Center
December 2023 Monthly Dance Notice
Dancers of the Month:
Congratulations to our November Dancers of the Month!
They are Josie Gould, Lucy Linxweiler, and Cadence Naro. This group of ladies are all new to KDC, but you wouldn’t know it! Learning and remembering dance terminology, practicing outside of the studio, and best of all ALWAYS a positive attitude in class. Not only towards their teachers but also with their fellow dance friends. We are very proud of these ladies and truly are beautiful representatives of what KDC is all about. Congrats!!!!!
Wrap Event at KDC:
I am super excited to team up with Carla Beck for this great community event.
KDC will be providing the space and Carla will be bringing the FUN (and goodies too)!
THIS Friday, December 8th 7:30-9ish
HERE! At KDC in Studio 1.
Pack up the sacks, wrap the gifts up and put them under the tree before the kids and loved ones find them.
Wrapping supplies will be donated by Carla (or bring your own). We will be happy to help and Carla prides herself on being able to wrap the most obscure items, it’s her super power (haha).
Sip on cider, eat some homemade cookies, and listen to holiday music while enjoying great conversation and I am sure some laughs with friends and neighbors.
There is NO COST!! BUT if you are interested please RSVP to KerrysDance88@comcast.net or Carlabeck07@gmail.com. This will help us to plan accordingly.
ALL are welcome and feel free to bring a friend (or two).
If you have no gifts to wrap, but are in the giving spirit, please bring a donation for the food pantry or a toy/gift card for TOYS FOR TOTS.
KDC Yoga with Ms Casey:
We have 2 classes available per month.
Slow Flow: Fridays from 5:15pm-6:15pm This class incorporates a traditional Vinyasa flow, in which we use the rhythm of our breath to guide us from one posture to the next. Consider using this class as an opportunity to find pause in each pose and foster your body’s desire to wind down.
Dec: 8, Jan: 12, Feb: 9, Mar: 8, Apr: 12, May: 10, June: 14
Flow: Saturdays from 10:30am-11:30am This class incorporates a traditional Vinyasa flow, in which we use the rhythm of our breath to guide us from one posture to the next. Expect a diverse range of postures. Consider using this class to energize your system and revitalize your mind.
Dec: 9, Jan: 13, Feb: 10, Mar: 9, Apr: 13, May: 11, June: 8

Snow Policy:
The dreaded four letter word: SNOW!!!
The season is here, and just a reminder:
Stay tuned to your email if the weather is questionable. I will make the decision and send an email by 2:00pm. PLEASE NOTE, the studio may be open even though school is canceled. If the storm stops, the roads are clear, and we get the parking lot clear then we will be open. My LAST resort is to close!! My first preference is to dance!!!!! So we work hard to clear the parking lot and make that happen for our dancers.
If class is canceled, dancers are welcome to take a make-up class in any age appropriate class even if it is in a different genre (it is always fun to try something new). If 3 or more classes have to be canceled throughout the season, we will schedule a make-up class during the April break.
Statements:
December statements will be emailed by Ms Katrina this week. They will include tuition and costume charges. Statements must be paid in full before the Holiday Break. KDC pays for the costume at the time of the order. Fees will be applied January 1st to any unpaid balances.
If you receive the email without the attachment please email the studio. When sending bulk emails some of them end up floating in cyberspace.
