Watch Days
We encourage parents to follow their dancer's progress throughout the year. Two watch days per semester allow parents to actually "sit in" on classes. We will notify you of the dates in advance, so you may place this rewarding event on your calendar.
Skirt Days
The last week of every month is Skirt Week. Students may wear a dance skirt to class. Skirts are provided for those students who do not have their own.
Annual Performance
This end-of-year concert allows students a chance to display their accomplishments and experience performing on stage or with their class in the studio. This is an integral part of their dance training and it's a lot of fun! It is not mandatory to be in the Annual Performance, but it is a rewarding experience which I highly recommend, the young dancer builds confidence and gains skills working together with other dancers.
Other Performances
Taos Youth Ballet Company will perform several times outside of the annual performance. The older dancers of TYB (ages 7 and up) are invited to audition and perform.
Holidays
TYB observes the same vacation schedule as Taos Public Schools, with the exception of some one-day holidays and teacher in-service days. A listing of holidays will be provided in September.
A regular newsletter is emailed monthly, and is posted at the studio to keep you up to date. And of course, the dreaded deadlines for fees and tuition will be included.
