Dear Parents and Students,

On behalf of everyone at HardCor Performing Arts, we want to take this opportunity to extend a heartfelt “Welcome” to each of you. Whether you are a returning family or this is your first year with us, we are pleased that you have selected our studio and know you will have a POPPIN’ year with us.  

We feel so blessed and honored to have added our HardCor Heroes Special Needs Dance Class during our fifth season. Our lives have been touched by those who participated in this program and we have learned so much from each and every one of our HardCor Heroes. We look forward to growing this program and providing an amazing opportunity to both the youth and adults in our area.  

We are so excited to POP into Season 6! We have made many improvements to both locations that we know you will enjoy. We will be holding registration at the studio August 7, 8, and 9th from 4:00-8:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for our staff to meet your dancers and tumblers and answer any questions you may have. If you have trained elsewhere, we will set up an evaluation to see your child’s dance or tumbling ability, so that we may place them at the proper class level. You can also register your child by simply POPPIN’ onto our website, www.hardcorperformingarts.com and filling out the registration forms. You can mail your forms along with your registration fee ($30 per student, to a maximum of two per family) to: HardCor Performing Arts, 2605 4th Avenue South, Denison, IA 51442. 

For your convenience, we stock new dance shoes. We also offer you the opportunity to buy or sell used shoes at half price during the registration season. Our “shoe evenings” will be August 7, 8, and 9th from 4:00-8:00 p.m. You may bring in any used shoes you wish to sell on any of these days. Please have your shoes marked with your child’s name and size on the inside sole of each shoe. We will not accept any shoes that are worn out, painted, or damaged in any way that will hinder dancing ability. If you are unable to come in for shoes on the above dates, a “last chance” shoe night will be held on August 21st from 5:00-7:00 p.m. We would like all dancers to have their shoes before classes begin.

Please feel free to call (712-263-6677) or email (hardcorperformingarts@gmail.com) with any questions you may have. All of our teachers and staff are looking forward to a POPPIN’ season and cannot wait to see you all soon. Classes begin September 6th!
