🎵 Caramel on apples and pumpkins in patches, these are a few of our FAVORITE things! 🎵 Fall is simply the best! There are so many fun, cozy, and yummy things that Fall has to offer, but it can also be a season for new beginnings. For those of us who work with kids within a school-year calendar, that Fall buzz is really special! 🙂Â
That’s right, back to school season means back to Fall Dance Classes! The first week of dance is always magical as we meet new dancers, greet returning ones, and find out which special students we have in class this year. That magic continues during the Fall months as we set the tone for the rest of the school year!
For all of our fellow Fall-lovers, we decided to put together a list of our Fall favorites! We’ve got sweet-treat recommendations, fun fall activities in Cedar Rapids, and tons of other goodies on this list.Â
5 Reasons Why Fall is our Favorite Time of Year:Â
1. Back to Dance at Prestige!Â
No surprises here, heading back to dance makes Fall our favorite season! Recital season takes a close second, but nothing compares to the first day of dance when we meet all of our new students.Â
There is still time to join us in our 2020 Fall Dance Classes as we make a safe return to the studio! Check out the schedule here and save your spot today! Read more about our COVID-19 Procedures here.
2. Pumpkin-Flavored EVERYTHING
Who DOESN’T love pumpkin spice lattes and an apple cider donut to go with it? Nothing makes us forget about summer ending better than our favorite sweet treats! At Prestige Dance Studio, we love supporting other small businesses in the Cedar Rapids area, especially ones that love Fall just as much as we do!Â
We’ve had our eye on Rawlicious, a vegan cafe, for quite some time because of their Fall treats! From their Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Crisp, Caramel Apples, and of course their Pumpkin Spice Latte, their seasonal treats look like Fall must-haves this year! They even have a full Fall Menu, complete with a sweet potato burrito and a butternut bliss smoothie. Check them out and let us know how it tastes!Â
3. Fall Events at Lindale Mall
Similar to us, our partners at Lindale Mall love hosting fun, family friendly events! They’ve got two Fall events coming up that we encourage ALL of our Prestige families to take advantage of this year!Â
Sensitive Trick Or Treat
October 25th | 6:30-7:30pm
This event was created specifically for individuals with sensory concerns. Visit tables and stores throughout the main level to collect candy and show off your costume!
Candy Crawl
October 30th | 5:00-7:00pm
Take a stroll around the mall to show off your costume, trick-or-treat at participating retailers, and stop by center court to grab additional goodies! Open to children 12 and under.
4. Sweater Weather
Outfit of choice = Cozy sweater, legging, and boots! Check out Beauty Edit for your comfy Fall items! Located right here in Cedar Rapids, their newest clothing additions are SUPER cute. Definitely Fall must-haves!
5. Pumpkin Patches
You can’t end the Fall season without a trip to a pumpkin patch! Our favorite local Fall stop is Bloomsbury Farm, located in Atkins just 20 mins from the studio. They’ve got corn mazes, giant slides, obstacle courses, games, pig/duck races, and so much more! They also have tickets available now for a spooky Halloween event geared towards the older crowd! Check them out for some Fall fun that suits the whole family!Â

As much as we love munching on Fall treats and taking adorable photos with the colorful leaves, it’s really our Prestige family that makes us adore Fall each and every year. Thank you for returning to the studio for Fall Dance Classes each year and making us look forward to this special season!Â
