HDC November News 2026

Christmas Program and Dress Rehearsal. The dress rehearsal is Monday November 23 at SJHS Auditorium. The rehearsal will go in the order of the actual show and start at 6:00pm.  The order of the show is attached to this newsletter.

What to expect: Come and sit in the auditorium and wait to be called up.  This is the students opportunity to watch the other performances as during the actual show, they will be backstage for the entirety (except for pre dance).  The actual show will last about 1.5 -2 hours.  We will call routines up by their song names and practice going onto the stage to perform.  After your dancer has practiced their routine, you are free to leave or stay as needed.

Here are the classes, song they are performing to, and the costume requirements.

Mon Nov 30-Thurs Dec 17 all regular classes (No Saturday class the entire month of Dec)

During Christmas Break: Competition Team practices start

December tuition: The dance tuition is the same every month regardless of the number of lessons in the month.  The Tuition is for the season and simply broken down into convenient monthly payments.  Some months have more lessons, some have less.

Make up Missed Lessons: If your student has missed a lesson for any reason, they are welcome to make up the class in another similar class anytime during the dance season.  This is all on the Honor sytem. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to Ms Heather.

Recital Costume Orders are Due NOW!  If you have not already paid for your recital costume, please contact Ms Heather ASAP with your intentions.  We have to order them all together.  If you are not participating in the spring recital, please let Ms Heather know ASAP.  If you need financial assistance or just more time, please communicate.  If you were thinking that it would auto charge with your credit card on file, it will not.  Please communicate your intentions asap. It takes us a few weeks to get everything in order to order everything but we plan to place the order by Thanksgiving this year.

Competition Teams:  We will accept registration for our competition teams through the end of this week.  If you are interested in joining a team, please speak with Ms Heather ASAP so we can plan accordingly.  The information and cost was confusing to some.  To join one small group team, the cost is $250 entry fees, $250 tuition, and $95 cotume.  Teams available: Hip Hop Sr Team (ages 11-18), Hip Hop Team Jr (ages 6-10), MJ Tap or Jazz Team (ages 6-18), Jazz Team (ages 9-18) Lyrical Team (ages 9-18). We would love to have a few more students join.

Warm up jacket sale: You may have noticed some of our students wearing these awesome black warm up jackets with the studio logo on them.  If you’d like to purchase one as a Christmas gift, please message Ms Heather ASAP as we will be placing the order this week so they will be finished by Christmas.  $100 includes student name on right chest, full logo on back and logo on left chest.

HDC October newsletter 2026

What a great start to the season!  We started off quite busy in all classes.  Here are some happenings and reminders.

All female dancers are required to wear leotards each week.  (ahem pre teens and teens) We allow sweatshirts and tshirts over leotards if it makes you more comfortable to start with but you should always have a leotard on under and be ready to take the sweatshirt off.  We understand if, once in awhile, you forget and come after a sport without one.  Just let the instructor know.  Another note about leotards: I see many younger dancers with their biketards on backwards.  Little girl biketards and leotards should have the high part of the leotard in front, not the scoop.  NO JEANS OR JEAN SHORTS. Please look like a dancer when you come to class.

EVERYONE should have the correct shoes and batons now.  Here is a link to the dress code page that has the Nimbly shopping link if you still need to order shoes.  Hip Hop classes (Tues and Wed) those shoes are ordered, and many are here already. https://heathersdancecompany.com/dress-code/   PLEASE LABEL YOUR DANCE SHOES, ESPECIALLY IN COMBO CLASSES.

Performance Opportunities:  None of these are required. If your student cannot participate, they will still learn the routine and be part of the class.

Christmas Program 2026 Sunday November 29th 2:00pm.  Dress Rehearsal Monday Nov 23 6:00pm  Tickets will go on sale Sunday Nov 1st at 12:00noon.  Each dancer will be allocated 4 tickets to purchase until all families have had the opportunity to purchase, then additional tickets can be purchased after Nov 8th.  We have 4 lessons in October, and 3 lessons in November before dress rehearsal and Thanksgiving, so we will spend most of the class times this month on learning these routines.

Costumes for Christmas program.  I will be assigning each class something to wear.  It will be as simple as possible.  The goal is for you to not have to spend a lot of money and to use something they will wear again.  Example: red shirt with black leggings, or Christmas dress.  We like having the program this early so that everyone can get in the Christmas spirit after thanksgiving, then have a lovely December without any stress. ?

JUST DANCE 2027 Saturday May 15th 11:00am show A, 3:30pm show B. REQUIRED Dress Rehearsal Wed May 5thfor ages pre dance, stage 1 and stage 2.  Thurs May 6th for Stage 3, teen, and advanced classes.

Costumes for the season end recital will be shown next week during PARENT WATCH WEEK Oct 5-10th. In order to participate in the spring recital dancers are required to attend the dress rehearsal, and purchase the chosen costume.  If there is an issue, please reach out to me and kindly, let me know of the conflict so I can try to work around it.  Orders for the recital costumes are Due Friday Nov 6th at the latest.  We will measure dancers in each class. Our instructors work very hard to find the best costume for each class. We work to find great costumes that fit EVERY body style and size, are not too itchy or chokey, and are within out price range.  The show (A or B) that each class is scheduled to perform in will also be announced with the costume orders. 

COMPETITION TEAMS! Late Dec-early March. Available for ages 6-18 We are proud to offer our currently registered students the opportunity to expand their dance skills and performance levels by joining one or more of our 5 competition teams this season.  Please note that this is not like “Dance Moms” although we do get a bit more strict with a competitive team, our goal is to encourage dancers to try and commit to something new, learn about being on a team that supports, encourages,  and gets to know each other better, and to be able to learn a routine and perform it on stage 3 weekends in a row!  Registration for comp teams starts Oct 4th.   When the classes are available, they will show up to register in your dance account. We have 1 long practice during Christmas Break to learn choreography, then have practice each Saturday in January, then participate in 3 competitions in late Feb-Early March.  

Here is a link to all the info including dates and price. Competition Teams 2027 Info Word Doc

Parent Watch Weeks and Studio Calendar: HDC Calendar and parent watch weeks  The next Parent Watch Week is October 5-10th.

Parents, we absolutely love to partner with you to help your child become confident members of society.  I love the support that each family gives their child.  However, you are also distracting.  Please refrain from taking together or taking calls while in the studio (sound travels weird in there) and especially from waving or hollering across the dance floor to her or him.  The support you offer during parent watch weeks is as a silent observer unless the instructor requests something different.  We appreciate you!  Don’t forget that you can watch the classes on the livestream app BAND.  Be sure to include your first and last name in your profile so I can easily determine who is watching.  I want to be absolutely sure that it is only parents of the students that are watching and that a creeper didn’t get the link somehow. If I cannot tell who you are or who you belong to, you will be removed immediately.

HDC 26-27 season BAND  this one is for everyone

HDC Teen and Stage 3 BAND  this one is for students In Tuesday teen classes or Wed Stage 3 classes only.

The last email I sent that had detailed recital information for what show each routine was in had some major flaws (including the Show A time).  As you know, I strive to help families save money and not have siblings or younger dancers in different classes split up between shows.  I am unlike most dance studios in the industry with this goal.  I am not always successful and I definitely was not this last time. Therefore, I have had to make some changes to the last line up sent.  Several, but not all, classes are in both shows.  If any class stage 1 or 2 is in both shows, I have put them at the end of Show A and the beginning of Show B so that families can plan to attend only 1 show if they want.  Performers could come late or leave after ALL performances are done.  Between shows, families are encouraged to leave and get lunch with friends and family. HDC staff is not responsible for your dancer if he/she stays at the school between shows. 

Remember that I will also need VOLUNTEERS at both shows to remain backstage and handle lining up students, engaging with dancers in the dressing room, etc.  I will have sign ups for that very soon.  I encourage you to consider volunteering at the show that you will not be watching if possible. 

Below is the new and improved Dress Rehearsal line up with call times for each class. (dates remain the same-very minor changes).

Line up detailed and by family.  The fastest way to double check what show your dancer is in and if they are all in the same show would be to click the pdf of Show by family, scroll down to the last name that the family is registered under and check it out.  Do this for each show to ensure that your dancer is in 1 or both shows.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SHOW A IS AT 1:00PM AND SHOW B IS AT 5:00PM (since it is a Sunday, we needed to move both shows up so that everyone is done at a decent hour since there is still school the next day)  Both the dress rehearsals and the shows are at St Johns HS Auditorium at 501 W Sickles St. 

TICKETS TO BOTH SHOWS go on sale on Monday April 6 at noon.  Each seat is $15, lap child policy is 4 and under.  (if you purchase tickets to both shows, at the same time, there is a $4 discount for second show tickets).

Purchase Recital tickets Here starting April 6

Suggestion: Show A will be the biggest show, if you have family that can make either show,  please suggest to attend show B.   There is no limit to the number of tickets that can be purchased by a family.  Shows typically get close to selling out the week before the show. 

When the site is live, a screen will pop up asking you to type in your dancers name.  It will highlight which show your dancer is in so that you can double check that you purchase tickets to the correct show.  

MERCHANDISE:  Starting Monday March 30th at 2:00pm, you can use this ticketing link to purchase extra merchandise if you’d like to break up the expenses.  Our “Just Dance 2026” Recital t-shirt with complete cast list on the back, available this year in pink or navy, tank top or t-shirt, our color printed keepsake recital program, our rainbow rose bouquet in 3 or 6 stem, and our professionally recorded recital video available in digital download or USB will all be available to purchase from March 30 until May 15th. 

PICTURE DAY IS STILL SATURDAY APRIL 25!  The schedule is attached.  The majority of costumes are shipping today, there is only 1 teen Lyrical class that won’t get the rest of their costumes until April 11th.  

Attachment: Picture Schedule 2026-2.pdf (215.8kB)

Paper order forms will be at the studio after spring break.  Attached are the forms in a digital mode for you to look at ahead of time.  You can print these and use them if you’d like.  We have lots and lots of options this season.  Please be prepared on picture day.  Each costume and group needs a fully filled out order form to avoid errors and delay in getting you your pictures.

I appreciate if you let me know if your dancer cannot make pictures that day so we are not waiting for him/her.  You are not required to purchase pictures but we still like a complete group for our composite and recital program. 

Lastly, ITS SPRING BREAK! NO CLASSES MARCH 30-APRIL 5. Classes resume April 6th and it will be Parent Watch Week!  

Blessings and Dancingly yours, 

Ms Heather

Due to instructor illness, all Tuesday March 17th classes are cancelled.  We will see everyone next week.  

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Dance Families, 

Here are a few reminders for the coming weeks. 

1) Our cancellation policy.  We try hard not to cancel classes at all.  Just because school is canceled or no school for any reason, does not mean that we will cancel classes.  We make the decision by 1:00pm each day. We post on the Band app, we send a ping on the HDC app, we post on social media (FB and insta), we try to send an email, but that will not always be possible. If you do not have the apps, the links are below. 

2) Our make up policy.  If any classes is canceled more than once for any reason, we will schedule a make up class on a Friday night or Saturday. Otherwise, you may make up the classes at any given time during the season with another class of equal style or level.  We go on the honor system. Spending time in a new class is beneficial and often FUN, to students even if it is not exactly what they have been working on in their own class. So far this season, we have only canceled Thursday Jan 22 classes, make up information was emailed to everyone in those classes. 

3) With the cold temperatures, we encourage ALL students to dress in layers.  Students are often cold when class first starts but will warm up quickly.  Wearing a t-shirt or sweatshirt over their leotard is perfectly fine and actually encouraged as long as they are prepared to take it off when asked.

4) This time of year we often get students (and parents) that are tired of coming to class.  We don’t blame you as we all get into hibernation mode. In an effort to make the classes more fun when we are getting knee deep in learning recital choreography and doing it over an over, we celebrate dance during the month of February with Spirit Month.  Each week we will have a different theme for the students to dress as if they wish.  The studio will also have special fun props and fun music to go with it.  This is designed to be fun, not to stress out the parents so participate as little or as much as you like. 

         Week of Feb 2-6 Zoo Week: dress up or wear clothing that reflect your fav animal.  
         Week of Feb 9-12 Love/Red Week: celebrating Love, what do you love? god, parents, ice cream? wear it. 
         Week of Feb 16-19 Glow Week: the studio will be darkish and have black lights out, wear white or florescent clothing to show up better. 
         Week of Feb 23: Celebration of Dance week! Bring a Friend to Dance and Parent Watch Week!  (bring a snack to share, bring a friend, lets have a dance party) All friends that are not currently registered at HDC must complete the release of liability waiver before coming to class.  Release of Liability for Friends.  

5) Prizes for the Little Caesars Fund Raiser!  I know it’s been months, but I finally picked up the t-shirts that are prizes for the fundraiser we did in October.  I will have them at the studio this week.  They are sorted by family name and in plastic Meijer bags and will be up front after 6:00 Monday.  If you wonder if you won a t-shirt, here is the list of families that have a t-shirt waiting for them. Addie/Everly Hatler, Arla Curtis, Austin Rodgers, Bella Ritter, Blaire Brunner, Bryndle/Rae Martin, Carley Fedewa, Ellie Schreiner, Grace/Elenor Dainton, Jordyn Koslowski, Kendal/Kensington Theis, Kenzley Rice, Kylen Steadman, Leala Lockwood, Lilyanna Iir, Maddie Robbins, Maelynne Slavik, Magnolia Seyfred, Mila Cooper, Reyna Horveth, Sawyer Feldpaushch. 

6) Other important dates coming up: 1. Our 3 competition teams will compete at 3 competitions in March, we would love support for these 9 ladies ranging in age from 6 to 18! We will post links to watch them virtually when it gets closer.

Remember if your students are in both shows, you are not required to purchase tickets to see both shows if you do not want to.  We love to have volunteers help back stage for 1 show, then watch the other one.  Please also note that I strive, and work very hard,  to have students that are in multiple classes and have siblings in another level, be in the same show.  That cannot always happen unfortunately. Example, the stage 2 classes on Monday are scheduled to be in both shows in order to help families with other sibling that are in different levels be able to invite families to only watch 1 show but see both students.  The stage 2 classes will be scheduled to perform toward the end of show A, and at the beginning of show B so that whichever one you don’t have family coming to, you can arrive or leave and not have to spend the entire day at the auditorium.  

Due to continued deteriorating road conditions, Thursday Jan 22 classes are canceled.

If anyone would like to make up the class next week, these are the times of other classes available.

Although school was canceled, we will still be at the studio tonight for regular classes. We respect what you need to do to keep your family safe when roads are not the best. Please only come if you feel safe traveling. If you’d like to know which class you could come to to make up a missed class, please reach out to Ms. Heather
