Dear Dancers and Parents,
Happy Mardi Gras and Valentine Month from the staff of PHDS!
We hope you have enjoyed the festivities and fun that goes along with these holidays. At the studio, we are sticking to the business at hand which is working hard on our next performance, "Sixty Year Shining: A Diamond Jubilee".
Recital Fee and Costumes
Remember your Recital Fee, $35.00, is due this month. We have finalized most of our costume orders to assure that costumes will be delivered by May 1" in time to have pictures taken for the program. If you have not already turned in your Costume Contract, due so ASAP!!! We will have all the program information in next month's newsletter. Costume pictures and prices will soon be displayed in the lobby. Costume balances are due by April 15th.
Class Attendance
It is very important for every dancer to make their best effort to have good attendance in class. We must continue to work toward strong technique, as well as work on our performance pieces for the show. Please keep this in mind when you are signing up for spring sports. It is very unfair to the serious students when we constantly have to review and catch up dancers that have missed. Please do not come to class sick, even to watch!!
Dance Shoes for Sale
Time is now to check your dance shoes. We have purchased a store sell out with many shoes that we can pass on to you at a huge discount. First come, first serve! They are in the office.

Spring Break (studio closed) March 9th - 13th
This is the last holiday that the studio will be closed for until after our recital on Sunday, June 7, 2026. We hope you have a wonderful and relaxing week. In the event of dangerous or threatening weather, we will notify you via email and Facebook.
Ms Charla
The hardest goodbyes are the ones we don't see coming. The ones you don't plan or could never imagine happening. Thank you all for your prayers and cooperation in this most difficult time. Many of you have asked about a possible service for Ms Charla. We will pass this information on to you when we are given it. The beautiful flowers are all being dried to preserve them for the Presley family. The notes will also be delivered to them. Your outpouring of love, through the incredible donations, is amazing and so appreciated by this grieving family. Thank you so much to the moms that coordinated this fundraiser.
As always, feel free to email the studio with any questions or concerns you may have.
Ms. Mary
