The following is the very important post-performance schedule at our Studio:

December 12-15 (Mon. – Thurs.)

The week immediately following this Saturday’s performances is Intense Halftime Routine Practice for all PEOPLE IN MOTION Classes (PIM DANCERS need to be in class) and Dance Technique Week for all other classes.

December 19-21 (Mon. – Wed.)

The next week is Bring a Friend to Dance Class Week, whereby students have the option of bringing a friend to dance class, which we strongly support. We do not have Thursday, December 22 classes, so your “Bring a Friend Day” will be later in January.

Christmas Break

Christmas break begins Thursday, December 22. There will be no classes that day. Classes resume at their current times on Thursday, January 5.

The Spring Schedule of Classes will be posted on our web site and on Facebook in the next week to 10 days.

Halftime at Truman

Thursday, January 12, all PEOPLE IN MOTION DANCERS will perform the halftime routines at Truman State University (more specific information will follow).

Private Lessons after recital

If you take private lessons, get together with your instructor to see what your schedule is in the weeks immediately following our Christmas performances.

If you are on the Wait List for tickets for this weekend’s Christmas Performances, or if you have found you still need an additional ticket or two, see Terry at the desk to see what he can do for you.

If you have not ordered tickets to your dancer’s performance to date, you better do it today so you don’t miss out. If you don’t act quickly, the only tickets we can guarantee for you are 2 parental tickets we hold for all dancers.

Finally, our track record is perfect or near-perfect as far as we can remember on this, but please understand that it is your responsibility to verify that you have been given the correct tickets for your dancer(s)’ performance, thank you.

All PEOPLE IN MOTION DANCERS will be marching in the 2016 Truman State University Parade Saturday, October 22.

Before Parade

We will meet at the Studio at 8:00 a.m.

The parade is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m.

We will walk to our starting position as a group and would like our PIM 1 dancers to have one of their parents accompany them to the starting position – PIM 1 parents can leave us once we are in position (unless you feel like your dancer needs you to be at hand as we are marching).

During Parade

We are entry number 31 in the parade, in the first third of the parade. Cheer on our dancers as they pass!

After Parade

A parent for each dancer must be at the end of the parade route by the Red Barn on South Franklin Street past the Franklin and Patterson Streets intersection. Please be there to pick up your child by when we are done with the parade route, rather than when the whole parade is over.

We will take a group photo of all of our PIM DANCERS and then release them to their parents. Please don’t be one of the couple of parents who is not there because it creates real anxiety for our dancers who must then walk back up the entire parade route with Miss Marcia to the Studio).
