The Pointe's Friday FYI - 10/2/26
Happy Friday, PSD Families!
This Friday FYI is our primary method of communication for studio updates and important reminders. We recommend saving this email so you can reference it throughout the week.
Coming Soon - A Big Project at The Pointe!
A fresh look is coming to PSD! ✨ We’re planning a big lobby and Turning Pointe Boutique renovation, with more room to gather, easier paths to the studios, and a larger, more functional boutique! We expect construction to begin this month and take about 4-6 weeks. We’ll keep you updated as dates are confirmed. Read more in our blog post here. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you! 💙
Recital Costume Sizing Starts Next Week!
Dancers will be sized during class over the next few weeks by our staff and veteran dance parents.
Costume sizes can differ from everyday clothing sizes. We focus on fit, comfort, and room to grow! Let us know if you have questions or preferences on the size for your dancer.
Thank you to the experienced dance parents helping with this project! 💙
Costume Week: October 20-26
Wear a Halloween or dance costume to class!
Choose something you can move in comfortably, and wear your usual dance shoes.
Dancers will get a first look at their June recital costumes and hear their recital music! ✨
Parents, you’re welcome to step in to the last 5 minutes of class to see the big reveal!
Play along on social media - check our Facebook and Instagram pages in the morning each day to see the costumes for that day’s classes and make your guesses, then check back in the evening to see the big reveal!
