December Monthly Minute

12/1/2021

As I write this Monthly Minute our friends in the USA are celebrating Thanksgiving and we at Pegasus Studios are reflecting that on this week a year ago we were mandated to lock down our business and back into Virtual Learning. We rushed to complete some of our Royal Academy of Dance Ballet examinations as the dancers had been working so hard and it was important for those dancers to complete that milestone and feel a sense of accomplishment. 

Many children and families are still doing virtual learning and we still are navigating difficulties of irregular internet and what hybrid learning entails.  But we are grateful and excited that we are in the studio, building relationships and connections with your children.
The next step is having parents back in the building and connecting in person with you!!  We are and will continue to be cautious and slow as we continue all health and safety protocols and the possibility of more in the building in the New Year.
But for now we CELEBRATE and are GRATEFUL and never take for granted the importance of connection and being in person sharing what we need the most at this time - learning through the ARTS!

As we continue with our vision that dance teaches more than dance, but life lessons and our aim  to nurture and build a community inside and outside our building. I want to thank you for reading and acting on my previous letter to institute Parking Golden Rules.  As always, kindness and consideration will go a long way.  If you missed that email, please contact me.  It is important in keeping our neighbourhood and children happy and safe inside and outside our Studio. Thank you.

Our Studio;

  • Winter is here! Please send your dancers with a tote or plastic bag.  All boots & outdoor clothing must be carried by your child into their dance studio. We are finding that water bottles are heavy and mostly unnecessary for a 45 or 60 minute younger child dance class. So if you feel that you can eliminate one thing for them to carry and lighten their load, you may consider not sending a water bottle but having water available after their class.  Thank you for your help with this. (Canvas Pegasus Dance Bags on sale - see below)

  • This coming Saturday is our first live performance in almost two years and both the Performance and Ballet Companies are using their gifts in performing in our Winter Wonderland Charity Performance.  These performances are Sold Out and all money raised in the Pay What You Can and Bake Sale to support our Darby’s Dancer programs.  If you would like to find out more on this program and how you can support it, please contact us.https://www.pegasusstudios.com/darbys-dancers.html

  • Gift Of Dance - Give the gift of Dance this holiday season! We have new programs beginning in January. 
    • Kiddance - a combination of Ballet and Jazz fundamentals. An 8 Week session for 4-6 years and 6-8 years
    • Fairy Tale Ballet - A 8 week session for 4-6 year olds
    • Winter PBT workshop. A 4 week session for all Vocational Dancers
    • Valentines Pink Party. Saturday, February 12 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm for ages 4-8 years
    • It’s not too late to join the Ballet Company in the New Year! We still have openings for Ballet Dancers age 6 to 18 years old!  
    • Pegasus Dance Bag - special discounted price for until December 11 only!  $14.50 for a large, purple and black bag. Great for under the tree!!

For more information on all of these great opportunities, please contact us!  Please share the love with your friends and please recommend us on Social Media.  We appreciate all the love you share about us!

  • Show and Tell - We are cooking up something special for you!  You may have heard your dancer talking about their Performance!   We miss having parents and families in the building to see and celebrate all the amazing things your dancers are learning, so we are filming a brief demonstration or dance and sending it to you on our private Vimeo account.  Over the next two weeks, we will be having each class do a very short demonstration or dance that they have prepared. We will let you know when it is ready and how to access it and we hope that you and your family can watch it together over the holiday.
 Please make sure your child is dressed in their class uniform (or as close as you are able) with their hair neatly pulled off their face in the next two weeks as we will be rotating classes and filming days. You will be able to watch other class dances and we also hope to include parts of our Winter Wonderland Performance.
We hope you will enjoy and celebrate with your child all of their accomplishments this season.


From our Pegasus Family to your, we wish you a happy and healthy Holiday Season!
Jane
