LOCATION: ZERMATT RESORT Midway, UT

Dance Attack is a semi-annual Dance Convention hosted by The Winner School and our sister studios, The Dance Club and Dance Impressions. Summer Dance Attack is 3 days full of classes that will develop each dancer’s technique and choreography skills. It is also a chance for our Dazzles and Starlettes teams to bond together as we head into a new dance season.

Look for the other Winner School dancers or the red balloons.  Find your “Sister” and Team Mom for more goodies and gift exchange. Team Moms will do the Spirit Bucket at Opening Ceremonies. Opening ceremonies will introduce you to the staff and give important instructions, for the day. Parents are welcome.

·Classes are closed to parents and friends until the last 10 minutes. This is so dancers can concentrate, on the teacher, and not have any outside distractions. It helps to talk to your dancer (especially our young girls) and explain that she will be with her dance friends and that you will not be with her. She will feel more prepared and not surprised, when you leave her in class, that first time. If you will not be staying at the hotel all day, please coordinate with the other parents in your dancer’s class. Also, make sure your dancer knows where you will be and who will be picking them up every day.

·Meals are included. Lunches, every day, are included. We will have a special section of the eating area set aside so our girls can sit together. Of course, they can say hi to new friends they have met or other girls they know from Winner School or other studios. But we are trying to reinforce a team concept and help all the girls feel comfortable and included.

Classes. The girls will have classes in all aspects of dance – jazz, ballet, hip hop, etc. Please send all shoes with you dancer. Please, no dance paws, as our dancers cannot execute proper technique in them. Please label all shoes, bags, and clothing, as there are lots of dancers and items do get misplaced. Dancers are allowed to wear any dance attire they choose. They may also wear their class outfits. They should wear their travel suits while outside of class to promote a professional appearance and team unity. Hair must be pulled back.

The Winner School
Attendance Policy


The Winner School Dance Program always wants to have high standards and strive for excellence.
To accomplish this, positive attitudes, a strong work ethic, discipline, accountability, responsibility,
commitment, team unity and structure are key elements to making it successful.
Dancers will look better when guidelines are followed, and they look and feel like they are part
of a team.
 
Excessive Numbers in Any of These Areas, Can Result In TEAM PROBATION


  • Inappropriate dress Unexcused Absence

  • Tardiness (10 minutes late) Absence from Saturday Rehearsal

  • Excused Absence Absence the week of Performance

*Absences must be excused through Miss Emily via email or text message.
 
Each time you have an excused absence, you will be required to take a make-up class.

Please follow through:
You will have one month to attend your make-up class.

Dancers can make-up class, by attending a ballet or jazz class, one level up or down.

The teacher, of the class you attend, will sign a make-up slip and return it to your


coordinator.
If you neglect to make-up absences they will be carried over month to month.


If you are placed on TEAM PROBATION, for any reason, you will be spaced out of

choreography for upcoming performances/competitions. Kellie Barber will be monitoring

and documenting the above criteria and communicating with Emily and Shannon, on a

regular basis. Communication with parents will be thorough and ongoing.
Excessive absences

Excessive tardiness

Behavior Problems


We will always offer the best dance education. In order to do that, a system of life skills must be

taught as well. The combination of these two equal excellence!

Notes from Saturday's rehearsal:
