Hello Dancers and Parents,

Thank you for a wonderful, busy, positive, sparkly and successful first term.

All our dancers have come so far in class and most importantly I am so so proud of the beautiful encouraging and inclusive atmosphere in the studio. We are so passionate about creating a space where you all want to spend your time and I really truly feel we are family. Thank you!

IMPETUS TANKS ARE BACK

The wait is over - we have just received a huge delivery of more Impetus Tanks! We know lots of you have been waiting for them, so now is your chance to snap one up.

A few mums have bought our tanks, bows and water bottles as little additional non sugary treats from the Easter Bunny - what a great idea! We have fully stocked our little shop in the studio, so feel free to come and have a browse.

HOLIDAY CLASSES

You have asked again and again...and finally it is happening! We are going to run holiday classes this year!!!

The Timetable will be available shortly on our website and we will send through an email as well. Please note we will be running a few classes only as we are gauging demand, so if you or your dancer would love a holiday class, but you cannot find the one you are after, please get in touch. We rely on your feedback and will incorporate it into next term's planning!

BIKETARD ORDERS

Biketard orders are OPEN! Hop on over to our website now and check them out. Please note, all items are made especially for us, so orders will close at the end of the week.

IMPORTANT DATES

Did you know...
that there is a Calendar in our Parent Portal? It shows up in the bottom right corner when you log in. I have been busy entering all important dates for the year in there, so it is worth having a look through and popping them on your calendar at home.

I know it sounds crazy, but our mid year Cabaret and even our End of Year Show at GPAC will be here before we know it. In order for our students to get the full experience and gain maximum value from being part of a production, it is so so important that they attend rehearsals and - while we try to do most of the work during class- we have to include a few extra rehearsals before a big performance.

"and if the music is good...you dance!"

MIDYEAR CABARET SPONSORS

We are looking for a couple of sponsors for our midyear Cabaret Show. If you own a small business and would like exposure to our more than 200 Geelong parents, please respond to this email to express your interest and we can have a chat.

I wish you all a relaxing Easter holiday and hope the Easter Bunny finds you!

Hello Dancers and Parents,

We are approaching the end of term one and it has been such a fantastic start to the year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and everyone of you. You all bring your energy and biggest smiles to class and give it your best every single week!

Parents, you must be so proud of your dancers - they are so wonderful, positive and talented!

PARENT VIEWINGS

We are so so proud of what your dancers have achieved in the last few weeks - it really is amazing to see how much our bodies can learn in such a short time frame. We are excited to invite parents or other caregivers to view our progress in the last week of term (week starting 26th March). We will invite you into class for the last 15-20 mins, so please come early for pickup if you wish to see what we have been up to in the last 6 weeks.

(Please note, Kindy parents have received a separate email for a slightly different viewing schedule)

BIKETARD ORDERS

Have you seen our amazing biketards yet?!? We are so so thrilled to have sourced some amazing dance wear this season which will be branded with the Impetus Logo. Hooray!!! Orders will open soon through our website.

We will have the full size range in the studio for the next two weeks, so you can try on to be sure. Please note the straps will not be attached in production, so that you can ensure the biketard fits you perfectly (because there is nothing more annoying that slipping shoulder straps). You'll be able to easily attach it at the perfect length with a couple of stitches.

AUTOPAY

Quick heads up - if you are signed up to our Autopay option, your third and final payment will come out on Monday 26th March.

'AMERICAN IDIOT' CLASS

I am so thrilled to announce that we have the amazing Kyla Bartholemeusz, Dance Captain from American Idiot, joining us for a special one off class this Sunday. Come along and learn a dance from this rocking show which is currently playing at GPAC - we cannot wait! This class is going to be DA BOMB.

We are going to cover the costs for this class as a special treat for our dancers, but spots are very limited, so you must register on the portal. Everyone year 10 (iGen) and up can participate, just follow below link to our parent portal and search for American Idiot in the classes to register now.

if you have any questions, please just respond to this email.

THANK YOU
We have seen a great improvement since our reminder in the last newsletter, thank you! Keep up the good work!

2 Wear hair tied back

Hello Dancers and Parents,

Wow, we are already half way through term 1! I am truly blown away by what our classes are getting up to after just a few weeks. The energy in every class is electric and you have come so far already! I am secretly getting a little bit excited for our mid year show already.

UNIFORMS

As you are aware, we do not enforce a strict uniform at Impetus. We do however have a few important rules when it comes to class attire and would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of these.

1 Please wear appropriate dance wear such as bike shorts, leggings or leotards. Gaping shorts, skirts without shorts underneath and jumpsuits are not suitable.

2 No school uniforms. We pride ourselves on our inclusive environment at Impetus and encourage friendships across school, so please don't wear your uniform in class.

3 Please ensure long hair is tied back neatly.

4 We get hot in class, so please don't wear too many layers or anything too thick to avoid overheating.

If you love our Impetus tops - please note there are more on the way. Please bear with us: it won't be long and they'll be available in the studios soon again. We will also have order forms for our amazing biketards and they should be ready for term 2!

IMPORTANT DATES
Please put below dates in your diaries

Mid Year Cabaret @ Geelong West Town Hall
Saturday, 23 June | Junior Show doors open 12pm & Senior Show doors open 5pm

End of Year Show @ GPAC
Thursday, 15 November Rehearsal Times TBC
Friday, 16 November 7pm
Saturday, 17 November 12.30pm

TOILET BREAKS

If you have a younger dancer - please encourage them to go to the bathroom before class. It is very disruptive to the teaching environment and our dancers don't want to miss a second of class.

ALLERGIES

We have some students with severe allergies in our classes this year, so please remember that Impetus is a strictly nut free zone. Please remind your dancer to wash their hands thoroughly before coming to class if they have touched or eaten any nuts. Thank you!

"Dance is the hidden language of the soul"

LONG WEEKEND

Please note - there will be no classes on Monday.

See you next week!
