Who’s ready for a long-awaited break and a cozy close to the year 2020? We sure are! Our Prestige holiday break has officially started and we are wishing our dance families joy this holiday season. The holidays in Cedar Rapids may look different this year, and 2020 has thrown us some challenges, but DANCE has continued to make us smile through it ALL!
As our community dealt with COVID-19 this year, we feel proud to have continued providing dance classes to our students in safety. We’ve been here to give everyone something to smile about in 2020, and we don’t plan on stopping ANY time soon.
Check out these 5 Ways to Make Your Dancer Smile This Holiday Season!
1. Have a Virtual Nutcracker Watch Party!
Due to COVID-19, heading to the theater for this classic holiday tradition isn’t an option. But on the bright side, there are TONS of ways to enjoy the show from the comfort and safety of your home this year.
Ballet companies all over the country are offering streamed versions of their productions! Check out this article for a complete list of shows, with many running through January! You could EVEN get dressed up with your dancer and create your own theater night at home.
2. Ring in the New Year with a NEW Weekly Dance Class!
What better way to start fresh in 2021 than with a new activity on your child’s schedule?! We head back to the studio in January after our winter break and are accepting enrollment in our 2021 Dance Classes through January 15th! Now is a GREAT time for new dancers to join us or for Prestige students to add a new class to their schedule!
Dance classes even make a perfect holiday gift too! Contact us HERE and we can register your dancer for a new class! Hurry over, because our enrollment window closes on January 15th!
3. Add some dance ornaments to your tree!
Young dancers LOVE decorating the tree, so why not add some special additions this year?! Purchase some from our local small businesses or make your own at home if you’re feeling crafty. Young dancers love adding this personal touch to their trees year after year.
4. Watch White Christmas on Netflix!
We recommend this music and dance filled classic to all of our dance families around the holidays! Their dance numbers are simply incredible! It is available on Netflix and is a sure way to amaze your dancers who LOVE the spotlight.
5. Read a dance book together!
The holidays are the perfect time to get cozy, cuddle up by the fire, and read dazzling dance stories that inspire your kids! Check out this amazing list of picture books for your littlest ballerinas! Complete with Misty Copeland’s newest book, Bunheads and the timeless classic, Dancing in the Wings by dance legend Debbie Allen, the list is sure to bring BIG grins! For your older dancers, we recommend Life in Motion by Misty Copeland!
It is our holiday wish that our dancers and parents experience TONS of holiday cheer this season. We hope this list gives you something to smile about! After the crazy year we’ve had, it’s time to be merry with your loved ones!
We can’t wait to see all of our dancers back at the studio in the New Year! We are ready to tackle 2021 and have high hopes for a GREAT year of dance. Happy holidays, from all of us here at Prestige!
