Dear Parent, Carer and Dancer,
Thank you for choosing the Amy Greaves School of Dance (AGSOD) and if you’re an existing dancer thank you for your continued custom and support. 2016/17 is set to be an exciting year at the dance school.
What’s the plan this year?
The dance school switches each year between exams and show work. This year sees the welcome return of our whole school show, which is performed at the Artrix in Bromsgrove. The show is titled ‘World Dance’ and everyone can get involved. To find out more details please see the letter inside this welcome pack. For those that love performing there will be other performance opportunities throughout the year.
Get involved with social media?
Social media is a great way to keep up to date with the dance school. So if tweeting is your thing follow us on twitter or follow us on Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook. There is also my YouTube channel to help dancer’s practice at home. This year I will also be running lots of competitions and launching the ‘Win Journal’ through social media so make sure your following the dance school on one of the below platforms:

How to order uniform?
From now on I am only doing orders once a month. This usually falls at the end of the month (exact dates are on the calendar in this pack). All orders need to be paid for at the time of the order, or I will be unable to order your items. Items can be paid for by cash, cheque (payable to Amy Greaves, DON NOT WRITE ON THE BACK OF CHQS) or by bank transfer. Please write your order on one of the envelopes provided. I am UNABLE to take orders via text or social media. Any orders that have the AGSOD logo on normally take around 1-2 weeks to arrive, as it has to be sent off to be printed. All other orders will be here within a few days. When your order arrives please check it before your child dances in it otherwise I will be unable to exchange it if it does not fit. Items with the AGSOD logo on I CANNOT exchange unless faulty, so please use the size guide or try on another students before ordering. All prices are on the website and noticeboard.
