Centre Stage Dance Studio in Mt. Vernon Parade
CSS will be once again joining the floats in Mt. Vernon's Harvest Festival Parade.
This year's event steps
off at 2 p.m. on Saturday October 20th. Our theme is Pumpkin Paloosa so all participating dancers are asked to wear
ORANGE. We will pass out orange paper plates so each dancer can create her own pumpkin sign to wave as they ride the
streets of downtown Mt. Vernon.
Please sign the registration page posted near the front door so that we
know how many dancers to expect.
Thank you - Last year we won a trophy for our float! Maybe this year we
can repeat - HAH. I'm just kidding we don't do this for trophies but for fun. Each year the kids do seem to really
enjoy participating.

Dance classes will resume at the end of August. Those already members of our studio will receive a fall registration
packet by the end of July.
Those looking to join the studio should call 618/244-3710 to leave your address

While we celebrate the staging of "A Star Is Born" I want to celebrate ALL my stars. You were all fantastic

Using
your talents for the benefit of others is a great and wonderful thing to do. I admire each and every one of you.

ANNUAL STUDIO-WIDE GARAGE SALE
Parents: Please remember that Centre Stage Studios' annual garage sale begins on the first day of class!
If
you have any outgrown dance shoes or apparel that you would like to sell please bring it marked and on a hanger if necessary
to your first class. Tap, Ballet and Jazz shoes are always being sought so dig into those dance
bags and have your dancer try on last year's shoes...if they don't fit SELL them to help defray the cost of a new pair!
Items should be clean and in good overall shape. Please mark them with your name and the amount
of price you would like to receive for them.
All items will be displayed in the entrance hall of our studio.
The sooner you bring your item in the better chance you have of selling them.
Our first classes begin on Tuesday,
Sept. 6th. The studio doors will open at 4 p.m.
Thanks,

Fall registration is underway and already we have filled the Tuesday Preschool class! Another Preschool class is open
on Thursday and it still has a few spots left so, if you have a preschooler interested in dance, please contact me as
soon as possible to avoid being wait-listed.
For our older Elementary dancers: If you will re-check
the schedule you will notice that we have fixed a conflict between Elem Tap and Elem Ballet so now you can take them both!
