Calendar of Events
Beautiful Feet Academy of the Dance Arts Calendar 2024
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens"
Ecclesiastes 3:1
​
Our dance schedule will mirror the schedule of the public schools. If it is a school holiday or a snow day, the same is the case at Beautiful Feet. We will also post any changes on the facebook page. The facebook page is public and can be viewed even if you do not have a facebook account. We may not be able to contact everyone personally for changes. If you ever have questions, feel free to ask us! 307-277-8907
​
We do NOT dismiss classes for parent/teacher conference days or professional development days -- ONLY holidays! We also do NOT take off for Martin Luther King Day or President’s Day.
Please watch our website and our facebook page for updates!
Anywhere that you see the word "Company", it refers to our performance/competition team. If you are interested in company, please contact Julie for more information.
The detailed schedule for events (such as picture day and recitals) will be sent to you approximately two weeks prior to the event.
​Sept 2 - Fall classes begin!
Sept 6 – Some Company Dancers perform at Mills Spring Ranch on Casper Mountain at 4pm. Come enjoy the free hayride event with free food and lots of activities!
September 16 – Beautiful Feet will host auditions for Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet (featuring a professional ballet company with artists from Ukraine, Japan, Turkey, and beyond). Performance is November 25 at the Ford Wyoming Center. There will be choreography sessions for anyone who receives a role on September 27. After that, you will receive an ongoing schedule for practice.
Sept 29-Oct 3 – Spring recital costume bills will be emailed to you. IMPORTANT NOTE: These are NOT Christmas costumes, these are SPRING costumes. We realize this seems very early, but we have discovered by experience that often costumes may not arrive in time for some of our performances or picture day if we order much later. Also, we receive discounts for ordering early and in full. Beautiful Feet makes every effort to find affordable costumes. The fact is, dance costumes do run quite expensive. Please start budgeting to prepare for approximately $100 per costume. Spring recital is optional – if you can't afford the costume you are still more than welcome to participate in the class. Call Julie at 277-8907 if you have any further questions.
October 13-17 – "Bring a Friend" week (not including company or competitive solo/duo/small group classes)! IMPORTANT NOTE: All friends' parents MUST sign a liability release form before their child participates in class. Liability release forms are the third page of the registration form. They are available in the lobby. They can also be filled out online at beautifulfeetdance.com. Click the “register now” button, fill out the form, and do not click “add to cart” when prompted in order to visit as a guest.
October 31 – Spring costume payments are due.
November 4 -- Company receives Rave Competition Bill (as well as any optionals that have an early due date).
November 14 – Deadline for showing Miss Julie your costume for Christmas recital. This can be done through a photo text to Julie at 307-277-8907 if you don’t have any classes with her. Dancer must be wearing the costume in the photo.
