STUDIO CLOSINGS
The Dance Gallery will hold classes during fall break, the weekend of October 25-27. The Saturday schedule will change for that weekend only. There will be no Pilates class. There will be no Jazz II 2nd year class. There will be one mixed level ballet/pointe class from 10:30-12:30. Exploration II will meet as regularly scheduled. Dance In Love will not meet.

Classes will not meet on October 31st due to lack of participation previous years.

The Dance Gallery will be closed November 21-24 for the Thanksgiving holiday. See your instructor for make up dates.

DRESS CODE/DANCE BAG CONTENTS
All students should carry a dance bag with the following items: hair brush, hair ties and clips, safety pins and band aids. The Dance Gallery is happy to provide items occasionally, but we are having a hard time keeping up with the supplies used by students. Please remember that the Dance Gallery has a dress code. This is to ensure focus on dance technique and to assist the teacher in correcting line of the body. See your brochure if you’ve forgotten. This is a studio policy, not individual teacher.

WEATHER SITUATIONS
In case of inclement weather or for any other reason classes would be cancelled, call before you come to class. There will always be a message if classes have been cancelled. If the School Town of Munster cancels due to weather, The Dance Gallery will also close. If it is after school hours, call first.
