Dear Parents and Students,
On behalf of everyone at HardCor Performing Arts, we want to take this opportunity to extended a heartfelt “Welcome” to our Gr8 Season 8! 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 GR8 year with us.
We made several revisions last season with our recital format. We split our classes by age and successfully held eight recitals; four Children’s Shows and four Big Shows. We were very pleased with the new layout of our recitals and felt like it was both convenient and beneficial for our students and their families. We plan to continue with the same format again for our eighth season. Our Children’s Recital will be held the weekend of May 15th-16th and our Big Show will be held the weekend of May 23rd-25th. Both shows will take place at the Denison High School Fine Arts Center. We take great pride in our student’s growth each season and we look forward to another GR8 Recital in May!
Season 8 is right around the corner! We will be holding registration at the studio August 4, 5, and 6th 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 register your child either ONLINE or by filling out the registration forms. Both of these options are available on our website, www.hardcorperformingarts.com. 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 4, 5, and 6th 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 18th 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 Gr8 Season 8 and cannot wait to see you all soon. Classes begin September 7th!
