GOURMET LATTES: Take 5, our new espresso bar, is open to the public. Stop by for a coffee drink and/or something for your child. Five percent of proceeds to the All That Dance Scholarship Fund. SEMESTER FORMAT: We have moved to a 16-week format. one in Fall, one in Spring. Summer remains 10 weeks. This will reduce the constant scramble to sign up for classes.

A big highlight for many dancers is the opportunity to show what they've learned to their parents and other loved ones.

We give our dancers the opportunity to do this in many ways:

• Watching Days, which occur on the final day of class each quarter. On each Watching Day, parents and loved ones are invited into our studios to watch an entire lesson, including a performance piece. Cameras and vocal appreciation are welcomed!
• Spring Performance, which is staged every spring (usually the first or second weekend of June, depending on theater availability -- see this season's dates below). All students (with the exception of our very youngest) get the opportunity to don a costume and perform on stage with their class, complete with lights, music and an audience filled with supportive loved ones.

We believe this helps sharpen and solidify skills learned during the year but -- more importantly -- also helps to build self-esteem and social skills by giving dancers an opportunity to set and reach goals and do it in a group setting requiring working together and commitment to their fellow dancers.

Ask to borrow a videotape of a past performance--and ask us questions about the performance and dates. Also ask for a copy of our Performance Packet, which details everything from policies to philosophy regarding the performance.

• ATD CO.! The newest performance opportunity offered by All That Dance, our brand-new company gives our most experienced dancers the opportunity to work intensively on high-level performance pieces with our top choreographers. All the hard work culminates in an exciting recital. To be eligible, dancers must be in a Level IV class or higher or Teen Level II class or higher. Ask to see a DVD of last year's show!
