One of the fun things about dance is how much some of the basics stay the same, while styles can change each decade. This fun video features some great dancing, while also showing how fashion has changed just as much as our styles of dance. Hope you enjoy it!

]]>Fall Registration! Plus info on Online Bill Payhttp://www.dancecitystudio.com/blog/2011/8/17/fall-registration-plus-info-on-online-bill-pay.htmlPatty Tackett2011-08-17T14:11:16ZIt's hard to believe Summer is already coming to a close! But that means it's time for more dancing! Yah!
This post will have some info on our new online registration and account management.
First, thank you for registering with Dance City for our 2011-2012 Dance Year! Our Annual Recital will be June 2, 2012. It's never too early to add that to your calender and share the date with family and friends!
 
Thursday classes will begin August 18th, and Monday-Wednesday classes beginning the following week, Aug. 22, 23 & 24. This way all classes will meet two times in August. August tuition will be half price of Regular Tuition since it is only half a month. August is the only month that the pricing changes. May will be your last month of tuition for this dance year. 
 
This is our first year using our new REAL Online Registration Process. I believe that we may be the only studio in the state of Arkansas to offer this service. We're still setting up our online payment system, but when it goes live, you'll be able to visit our website again to select a Tuition billing plan. This will allow you to pay your bill automatically each month or you can continue to send in checks if that is what you prefer.
All Dance City families will be able to visit our website and look over their online statements through our "Customer Portal" much like an online banking system. This should improve your Dance City experience by letting you look over your account at any time that is convenient to you. The link to your account will always be in the right-hand side of this website.
 
As always, we are working to improve your Dance City Studio experience and welcome your feedback.
 

This will be a great Dance Year and are so happy to share it with you and your student!

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
