Invoices at TDC
You will have seen at the end of last term we introduced a new way of sending out invoices via WhatsApp. It is very important we have a correct contact number for you as WhatsApp is currently our preferred choice of communication. We have had more success in reaching parents using this direct messaging service. Any problems with receiving messages please speak to myself or Harriet.

Fundraising
We have already started the ball rolling on fundraising for our first TDC Show in 2024 (next year OMG!).
We had very successful Halloween and Christmas Bake Sales, as well as our Annual Christmas Movie Night. We had great fun singing and dancing along to the songs from Nativity. Thank you for your support.
We have plans for more fundraisers this year to enable us to have our FAB lighting for the Show and maybe more! We hope to do a TDC Auction at some point so if you have a local business (hairdressing, nails, anything craft, baking???) or know of anyone who would be happy to donate a service or a gift please let us know as we are starting to plan this. We also hope to be doing termly raffles…..any ideas are welcome.

Grooming and Uniform
Grooming forms a strong part of the etiquette and uniform for dancers. It allows us teachers to observe the line of the head and neck, which are all important aspects of good training in posture and alignment starting at the age of three. It is tricky to concentrate on movements if your hair is flicking across your face and eyes.
For Ballet and Tap all hair for girls should be in a bun (using a hair-tie, donut and hair pins is all you need, see us if you are not sure) Hair should be pulled back from the face with a pink headband and clips to secure although if hair is in a bun a headband is not necessary. We understand that putting very young dancers’ hair back into ponytails and buns can be challenging!!
Acro, Strength & Conditioning and Jazz hair must be worn in a pony tail (high if possible) and off the face- no headband needed.
Street Dance skirts and dresses for girls are not suitable, leggings, cycle shorts, tracksuit bottoms are. TDC Black Zoodies and Black T-shirts are part of the Street Dance uniform (prices below). No headband needed and hair needs to be tied back (not down).
Can we please ask that correct uniform is worn in each class. Combined Ballet & Tap classes need both pairs of appropriate shoes. Please refer to the website or ask one of us.
TDC MOTTO ‘IF YOU LOOK LIKE A DANCER, YOU FEEL LIKE A DANCER’
Don’t forget uniform is to be purchased from our new online store www.tdo.mydancestore.co.uk. It has been live for one term already and we have had positive feedback about this. Harriet is still around at the beginning of term to help with sizing etc.
