This allows us time to offer the space to someone else on our waiting lists and ensures that hall costs, teacher expenses are covered. Your place in class will be rolled over each term unless we are told otherwise so it is vital that you let us know in advance please.

https://www.facebook.com/SLHDanceAcademy

Give us a follow and let’s see how many new likes we can get this month!

Uniform

As always it is really important pupils are wearing the correct uniform for their classes even online please. It not only allows pupils to “feel the part” and feel part of a team but also allows teachers to see the correct alignment of the body which is very important in being able to correct technique and posture!

The only classes where uniform is optional is Monday and Tuesday Pre-School Ballet classes.

If you are unsure what your child should be wearing for class then drop us an email on slhdanceacademy@hotmail.com or view our list here https://slhdanceacademy.com/uniform/

Please ensure girls hair is tied up neatly off the face for ALL classes and in a bun for ballet.

Uniform can be purchased from our supplier Jenny 01825 765555 or

On our second hand selling page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/slhdancesecondhanduniform

Welcome Miss Lucy

Finally I must say an official welcome to our new teacher Miss Lucy who joined us at the start of the year! Miss Lucy is taking our Grade 2 Modern and Tap classes on a Tuesday afternoon alongside our special online stretch/routine class. She is a qualified ISTD Tap and Modern teacher with a bubbly personality and infectious energy! Lucy has really enjoyed getting to know some of our dancers online and hopes to meet lots more of you soon in person!

Welcome Miss Lucy 🙂

We hope your children all have a great term of classes and we can’t wait for all the exciting opportunities we have planned this term 🙂

Best Wishes,

Team SLH Dance Academy

September 2020 newsletter

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope everyone has had a lovely summer and that your children are settling back into school well! I am sure many of you are looking forward to restoring some form of “normality” over these next few weeks! We are really looking forward to seeing lots of familiar faces again and excited to welcome some new pupils to the school too.

We have worked very hard behind the scenes and are confident in the plans and procedures that we have in place to ensure a safe return for all 😊

Please bare with us whilst we find our feet and adjust to this new way of teaching and running the school. I am sure we will all become very used to the new way of dancing very quickly!

Here are a few reminders for the term ahead:

Term Dates

Saturday 12^th September – Saturday 24^th October

No classes Monday 14^th and Tuesday 15^th September.

(No classes w/c 26^th October due to half term)

 

Timetable and Invoices

You will have received by now a copy of our timetable and your invoice for the term. (Pre-School parents yours will come this week). Check your invoice carefully as this will have details of your child’s class time and room their lesson will take place in. Please also ensure payments are made by BACS on the due date on your invoice to avoid late payment fees being added.

 

Venue

A reminder that all classes this term will take place from

Kings Church, Lewes, BN7 2BY.

Please be aware that there are building works going on just outside of the carpark with lots of large trucks etc so please do supervise children carefully when entering and leaving the car park on foot!

 

Uniform

We understand that pupils may have grown since their last class with us and that uniform has not been as readily available as usual. Therefore if it takes you a couple of weeks to get back in to full uniform then please do not worry, we understand!

If your child has moved up grades and onto a different leotard colour then there is no pressure to buy this straight away. If you would rather wait until they grow out of their old colour first then that is absolutely fine!

Our full uniform list required for all classes can be viewed here:

https://slhdanceacademy.com/uniform/

If you do require new uniform then please contact our supplier Jenny of “Limelight Dancewear” on 01825 765555 and she will be able to make arrangements with you directly.  We hope to do a uniform sale by appointment at the end of September and details will be with you shortly on this.

Musical theatre t-shirts and SLH merchandise can be ordered directly here: https://getmekitted.com/slh-77-c.asp

A reminder that pupils must arrive ready for class in uniform as there will be no changing facilities available at the moment.

 

Second Hand Uniform

I have set up a private buying/selling group for second hand uniform on Facebook for parents/guardians. Please join the group if you wish to buy/sell/pass on any SLH uniform that you may have. www.facebook.com/groups/slhdancesecondhanduniform

 

Shoes to be worn for all classes

A reminder that due to gov guidance all pupils must wear shoes for all dance classes at the moment. Ballet and Jazz shoes are both suitable or trainers/plimsoles/trampoline socks. These must be different from what they have worn outside to class. Regrettably at this time if your child does not have shoes to change into then they will not be allowed to participate. 

 

Re-enrolment/Portal

Thank you to those of you who have completed your re-enrolment on our customer portal already. If you haven’t done so yet please register via the link emailed out to you before your child’s first lesson! We have updated our terms and conditions and policies which you are required to agree to as part of the re-enrolment.

The portal will be a great way for you to update contact details, see your child’s class details and view our policies etc so I hope this will be beneficial to you all.

COVID-19 Procedures

Please ensure you have fully read through our COVID-19 secure procedures that were emailed out to you so you know what to expect. If you missed our email then you can view the procedures here https://slhdanceacademy.com/ts-cs/

We are really grateful in advance for your co-operation with the above.

 

Drop Off/Collection

A reminder that we will be operating a drop, go and collect system for classes. Please do not congregate outside the building during classes. Parents of older pupils are encouraged to stay in the car and watch pupils be greeted at the main entrance by their class teacher as much as possible. At this time parents are not allowed to enter the building before/during/after dance classes.

**Parents of children aged 5 years and under or new starters are to wait outside Kings Church preferably in the car or socially distanced on the path during your child’s lesson please.**

Drop off and collection points will be signposted on the doors at Kings.

 

Pre-School

Many thanks to all our pre-school parents who have been patiently waiting for more details on the return to these classes. It has been a little bit more complex sorting logistics out for our Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning pre-school classes but I look forward to sending you your information this week and getting our youngest dancers back in the studio this September! You will be sent, invoices, covid-19 procedures and portal details too as well with this information.

Toilet Trips

Please encourage younger pupils to go to the toilet before arriving at Kings Church and ensure they are capable of using the toilet by themselves.

 

Class Availability

We do have some availability left in a few of our classes. If your child has a friend or sibling that is interested in joining us then please do get them to contact us and we can see if we have availability for them. Pupils can start with us from the age of 2 so there really is something for everyone!

 

Half Term Workshop

We are looking to run some half term workshops on Wednesday 28^th October so pop this date in your diary and we will release more information in the next couple of weeks!

 

 

 

 

All the SLH Dance Academy team are eagerly ready to go and cannot wait to bring back the magic of dance through our classes. We completely understand that pupils may be feeling a little anxious about returning after so long but we hope that with your guidance before and familiar faces from their dancing friends they will settle back in quickly 😊

Dance has so many benefits for students mental and physical wellbeing and we understand the importance on them having fun as they get back to classes! All SLH teachers will strive to make the return to classes as happy and positive as we possibly can!!

Best wishes for a new and exciting term!

Sophie and the SLH Dance Academy team x

 

Wow!!

I can’t believe we are coming into the final few weeks of this academic year already! Things obviously haven’t quite gone to plan over the last few months and like everyone I have had to adapt to a new way of running my business along with dealing with personal challenges and struggles that COVID-19 has faced us all with. I am so grateful for the support everyone has shown to SLH Dance Academy over these last few months and it has really touched me seeing how many of our dancers have committed to online classes. I know it has not always been easy dancing via zoom and there have been technical glitches along the way but I think this has experience has really shown pupils that they can adapt to any situation and for that I am very proud of them. So, from the bottom of my heart thank you to everyone who has supported me, it really does mean a lot.

Summer Term

This term will finish on Thursday 16^th July. We will then break for the summer holidays. We will be using this break to re charge our batteries ready for September!

Video Montage

I am going to be making a “dancing through lockdown” video to wrap up this strange term and I really need everyone’s help! Please send me any videos or photos you have of your children dancing at home in their online classes. I will also be teaching some classes some choreography to film themselves doing at home too within the next week. My plan is to edit it all into one video/photo montage for our pupils that we can hopefully look back on in a years time with happy memories of how we kept dancing in lockdown! To make it a success I need as many of you as possible to get involved!!! Please send videos/photos that you wish to be included by Sunday 12^th July.

End of Term Workshop

I have arranged another online West End workshop at the end of this term for all pupils! The workshops will be run by Mike Denman, one of the UKs leading West End stars with over two decades in the industry. He has west end credits such as The Wizard of Oz, Matilda, Never Forget, Chicago and Thoroughly Modern Millie, to name just a few! These workshops are set to be tonnes of fun and will be a great way for pupils to have some fun learning routines from these iconic musicals and from a West End star…

Thursday 23^rd July

10.00am-11.10am (6 – 10 year olds) Matilda the Musical

Pupils will learn choreography from the number “Revolting Children” from Matilda the musical plus a 10 minute Q + A session at the end

11.30am-12.40pm ( 10 year olds + ) Saturday Night Fever

This workshop features some of the best 70s moves and will be sure to leave you feeling good and smiling! There will be a 10 min Q + A session at the end

As a special thank you to pupils I have discounted the cost of the workshop significantly to just £3.00 per student! Spaces available on a first come first served basis so drop me an email ASAP to book your space.

 

Taster Week

On the final week of term I am going to be doing some special lessons with pupils as a well done for this term. These will include some games and choreography challenges! As a treat I would also like to invite all pupils to trial any class on our timetable for FREE. If your son/daughter wants to try a different style of dance then now is your chance to do so completely free of charge and from the comfort of your own home! We have ballet, tap, modern and jazz dance classes on our online timetable. Don’t worry if your child hasn’t been doing online classes this term they are still welcome to join us, we would LOVE to see you! All you need to do is drop me a message to let me know what style of dance your child is interested in trying and I will let you know of the appropriate class for their age 😊

Next Term

Normally by this point I would have finalised the timetable and plan for September! But, much to my disappointment I am unable to do so until we receive further guidance from the government. I am hopeful that we will be able to get back to some “real life” classes in some form in September and that is what I am working towards. Please rest assured that the safety of SLH Dance Academy pupils, families and staff is always our priority and we will return to classes when we are allowed and when it is safe to do so. We will of course be putting in important measures when we get back to class to keep everyone safe and these will be released as and when we know more. I will of course keep you updated with the plan over the Summer ASAP.

Thank You’s

There is a little something making its way in the post to all SLH Dance Academy pupils in the next few weeks to say thank you for dancing with me this term. Keep an eye on your post and do send me pictures or post on our SLH Dance Academy Facebook page when you have received yours 😊 (If your address has changed recently do let me know asap so your child doesn’t miss out!)

Facebook Page

To stay in touch and keep up to date with any events/workshops then please give the SLH Dance Academy Facebook page a like and share… https://www.facebook.com/SLHDanceAcademy

 If you have a spare moment and you would like to then please do also pop us a quick review too as this will be really helpful for potential new parents as we rebuild the school in September!

Show 2020

As you know our show 2020 sadly couldn’t happen this term but there are things in the pipeline for a new date in 2021. It will definitely be worth the wait and will bigger and better than before!

Finally I would just like to wish you all a really happy and most importantly healthy Summer Holiday! 

Myself and all the teachers at SLH Dance Academy have really missed seeing everyone in person each week and we are SO excited to get back to normal classes as soon as we can!!!

Take care and keep in touch,

Sophie

Don’t forget children can start from as young as 2 in our Tuesday morning Pre-School classes for 2-3 year old. 9.15am-9.45am @ Kings church, Lewes.

As always do get in touch if you would like more information about any of our lessons.

Bring on the rest of the term!
