All students are invited to incorporate holiday-themes into their regular class attire (Karate students should still wear MCK shirts and pants, and dance/acro students should still wear leotards and tights, but they don’t have to be black this week!).
This is also the perfect time to show us some love on social media! Leave us a review on Facebook and/or Google, leave a comment and let us know what you love about SESD, share our posts, and follow us on Instagram!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Showcase Meeting (Option 1)
2019-03-31 15:15 - 15:45
One parent/guardian is required to attend one Showcase meeting.

Showcase meetings are absolutely mandatory. No exceptions.
Each parent/guardian will sign an attendance sheet at the beginning of each meeting. Dancers are not eligible to perform if one parent/guardian does not attend one Showcase meeting.
Show day is VERY busy. It is extremely important attend Showcase meetings and ask all questions prior to the show date. Katherine will be tied up running the show; coordinating lights and sound with the technicians, checking on dancers, and much more. We want this experience to be as smooth and pleasant as possible, but there is no guarantee Katherine will be able to answer phone calls, texts, or emails at any time during the day. If you have a question and cannot find Katherine, look for someone in a “volunteer” shirt or your dancer’s teacher. Showcase meetings will eliminate most of the stress and confusion!

Ballet 2, 3, 4 Final Evaluations
2019-05-20 08:00 - 2019-05-23 17:00
All dancers should be present and prepared for final evaluations.

Ballet students in levels 2 and above are evaluated twice a year. Mid term evaluations are in December and returned in January, and final evaluations are held in May and returned the Monday following our Spring Showcase.
Evaluations enable instructor, parent, and student to track progress over the course of the year, and from one year to the next. Dancers and parents are encouraged to review evaluations every month or so to remember previous corrections and consider what has improved and what needs a little extra attention.
Categories include technique, various steps/skills, musicality, professionalism, class attire, absences, etc.
Did your dancer have an “off” day? No need for extra stress; evaluations are only 2 weeks out of the entire season, but we consider dancer’s performance and behavior in class throughout the entire year.
Evaluations take place in your dancers regular class time.
Dancers should arrive in correct attire and a few minutes early to remove warm ups and put on ballet slippers. We will begin promptly at class start time.
We may record class to review later in order to give detailed comments and accurate scores. These videos are for instructor use only and will not be copied, distributed, or posted.
Please remember that evaluations are confidential—dancers and parents should not discuss any scores with other students or parents. Evaluations are intended to create growth, not division–in or out of class.
While reviewing your evaluation, please keep the following points in mind:

The score is NOT as important as the corrections/comments. It is completely normal and expected for a dancer to receive “1”-“3” on her mid-term evaluations. Final evaluations are usually scored “2”-“5”. Numbered scores are included to simplify the promotion process, which leads to the next point…
It is perfectly normal, and even EXPECTED, for a dancer to spend anywhere from 2-5 years in any given level. We offer 5 levels of ballet from beginning at age 5.5; it is impractical to expect any dancer to progress one level each year. Class promotion should not be a dancer’s only goal. It is important to focus on the present; carefully listening to and applying corrections from your instructor.
Our ultimate goal is to build each dancer’s strong technical foundation. A correct understanding of basic technique will take her very far, while moving too quickly will hinder her for a very long time.

While we only require conferences at the end of the season, we are always happy to schedule a time to meet and discuss your dancer’s progress and address any concerns you may have. Your dancer is our top priority!
