Kerry’s Dance Center
February 2026 Monthly Dance Notice
A little late…
Dancers of the Month:
Congratulations to our January Dancers of the Month.
They are Paisley Gray, Paige Romano, and Morgan Sims. These ladies have grown so much this season and their teachers have witnessed this first hand. From understanding terminology, remembering choreography, and applying corrections (even our youngest dancer!). Nice job ladies!! We are so proud of you.
Student Choreography Audition Opportunity:
This is open to any students wanting to choreograph and perform their own piece in the recital. The dance must be 2.5 minutes or less. Costuming and music will be the responsibility of the dancer as well as being age and recital appropriate. If your dancer is interested in this please let Ms Jennie know when it is ready to be auditioned.
All pieces must be auditioned before April break.
Snow Policy Reminder:
If Chester School is canceled due to severe weather, daytime classes (before 2:00 p.m.) will automatically be canceled.
However, this does NOT necessarily mean that evening dance classes are canceled. We will send you an e-mail message by 2:00 p.m. if we are going to cancel classes for the night.
We have had a few days canceled due to snow. If your dancer’s class has been canceled they are always welcome to take another age appropriate class during the week. Please email the studio to let Ms Jennie know so that she can let the teachers know to expect a visitor in their class.

***Parking Lot***:
***Please SLOW DOWN!!!!!***
Parents waiting in their car: PLEASE SHUT YOUR LIGHTS OFF! It blinds the drivers coming in and my neighbor across the street (121 A) Thank you for your understanding. And remember, there are always dancers, little siblings, and parents walking through the parking lot, please go slow. When parking please pull or back up as far as you can to the grass line. It makes it very difficult for cars to come and go when cars are sticking so far out into the parking lot.
Costumes:
A lot of costumes have arrived. We are still waiting on one costume company, a handful of back ordered items, as well as the exchanges. We have been keeping careful track of ALL pieces.
If your dancer has received their costume PLEASE put them somewhere safe and keep everything together (ie: tights, hairpieces, etc).
Statements:
Statements were emailed last week. If you receive the email without the attachment please email the studio and Ms Katrina will resend it.
