We are ready and excited to get going this year! We
have many new cloggers, new dances and tons of fun in
store. It feels SO GOOD to be back dancing! Let’s have a
great time and do what we do best!! Digital Newsletters We will E-mail each month your newsletter to you. We will also post the newsletter on our website. You can see our website at www.rmecloggers.com Account Statements Your statement will be E-mailed each month. Take a look and see if anything is missing or incorrect. We will charge all accounts on the 5th of each month for the balance of the account. Your September statement will have all of your account activity from last January. If you have a large balance, your AutoPay card may need to be updated. Contact us with any questions. THIS MONTH WILL BE CHARGED SEPT 21ST AS WE GET EVERYONE’S ACCOUNTS SET UP AND ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES BILLED.
AutoPay - Tuition and Fees It is required that every family is signed up for AutoPay. If you are not signed up for it, please ask your teacher this week for a form. Fill it out and return it to the payment box in the lobby as soon as possible. Each month, your monthly class tuition will be charged on the 5th. For other charges such as competition and costumes, we will notify you by E-mail and then charge them on the 5th of the next month. Please review your statement each month when it is sent to you. If it is correct, we will simply charge you the amount shown and you will be fully paid at the end of this month. If anything is incorrect, let us know by E-mail and we will adjust it and get problems cleared away.
Costumes Dancers will be measured for costumes in class this coming week. PLEASE NOTE: We will be ordering costumes by Sept 25th. If you discontinue clogging after that date, you will be held responsible for the costs of your costume! Everyone will have a $30 costume deposit charged on October 5th. (Premiere and Synergy will by $50).
Practice Resources
Music
- All of our team music is online. Download your class’
music from our website!
Team Dances: The last 5 minutes of class each week, we video what we have learned that day. Please send a phone or recording device, so your dancer can record and practice at home. We will also post these videos online so you can watch them if you don’t record them yourselves. You can find these by clicking on “Team Practice Blogs/Videos” on our website and then on your team link.
All-Around Solo Digital Videos We had very successful summer camps where we learned our All-Around Solos. Each competitive dancer should have received their own solo digital video links. They are to use these resources to practice with daily at home. Please let us know if you have lost yours.
COMMUNICATION UPDATES Communication is key! Here is how to stay updated:

Autumnfest Competition - Nov. 7th
We believe dancers improve greatly when they learn to
compete as individuals, and ask that all competing teams
attend. We will register everyone in early October. If
you can’t make it, please let us know immediately so we
don’t register you and pay your fees. And this
year, it’s going to be in Orem! Class Rules 1. No gum in class. 2. Clog only in clogging shoes or tennis shoes. If you don’t have your clogging shoes, wear tennis shoes. Clogging in barefeet, socks, flip flops, or sandals will not be allowed. 3. Wear appropriate workout-clothing. Clogging is a high-intensity activity where you need to have full movement with your legs. Please wear active pants or shorts. No jeans.
4. Bring a water bottle to class. (We do have
them available for $1 if you forget it) Payments We have a 9-month payment period. Your monthly tuition is for 9 months of payment, not 4 lessons a month. Some months have more than 4 classes, some have fewer, but your tuition is for 9 months of teaching. At the end of the year, it evens out. There is a payment box in the lobby for any payments not made by AutoPay. If you are paying with cash, it needs to be in an envelope labeled with your name. Discontinuing If you are going to discontinue clogging at any time, you MUST email or call us. You will be responsible for all payments until we’ve received that communication. Opportunities! You never know where clogging will take you and RME has been blessed to have so many opportunities to perform and compete around the World.
This last year alone we have had the most amazing opportunities including:
· Representing the USA at the Springville Folk Festival · Performing with the BYU Cougarettes, Center Stage and several performing celebrities at Dancing Under the Stars! · Represented the USA at the China International Folk Festival
·
And this December we will be featured in BYU’s Christmas
Around the World!
We hope you are as excited for this year as we are. Wahoo!! Greg and Maria |
