2023 - 2024 Dance Season
Ballet & Movement
2 spots left
As your pre-school aged dancer puts on her leotard and tights and walks into her first dance class, let the memories begin. As she makes new friends and learns her first French words, her world has opened up to the art of dance. This exciting class includes introduction to ballet and movement. Along with learning ballet basics and new dance terminology, this class will play with fun props that will improve their fine motor skills and gross motor skills. In addition to movement and social skills, little ones learn emergent performance skills and how to use movement and facial expression to tell a story. No experience necessary.
This class will learn and perform one (1) routine in our recital showcase. This class will order one (1) MSOD approved dance costume for the recital showcase. Prices are not yet available for costumes, but you will know as soon as I have all the information ready and available.
In January, you will need to put down a $50.00 costume deposit on her dance account. Once I see the inventory of available costumes the costume balance (the remaining amount due for the costume) will be placed on your dance account. You can pay the costume balance, you can size your dancer, and order her costume.
This class will need at least 12 dancers enrolled by December 15.
Good attendance (less than 4 absences per dance season) and dedication (can-do attitude) required. 6 or more absences in the dance season and / or 3 or more consecutive absences is considered excessive. Please note since this class is only meeting for half the dance season we need even less absences so dancers may adjust to the norms of the classroom as well as learn their routine efficiently.
Important MSOD Events and Dates
Picture Weekend: evening of Friday, March 1st or during the day of Saturday, March 2nd (closer to the event you can schedule an appointment for either day).
MSOD Required Rehearsal: the evening of Thursday, May 9th OR Friday May 10th (exact date will be announced in March)

Trip dates: July 27th - 29th 2025
Resort: Gaylord Opryland Resort
How will I Sign Up
The company that makes this opportunity available to our studio is called Dance The World. You will sign up through a link they provide and make your payments to them. We have enjoyed participating in many trips with this company including Disney World and Nashville TN. Please note that you must travel through this company to have access / entrance to the Grand Ole Opry for our dancer’s performance, Wildhorse Saloon, etc.
To participate in this performance opportunity your dancer(s) must be registered in one of the MSOD Nashville Company classes for the 2024 – 2025 dance season. Melissa’s School of Dance will offer classes for this performance group called Nashville Company. We will have two class groups Nashville Company I & Nashville Company II. The classes will be divided considering multiple factors including but not limited to age, ability, and dance experience at our studio. We will need a minimum of 10 dancers for each class. These dancers must register for the Nashville Company class for the 2024 - 2025 dance season. *If there is not enough interest, we will have to combine the classes. *If there is a lot of interest, we will open additional classes.
Nashville Company I: Monday's 6:45 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Nashville Company II: Monday's 7:30 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.
Please note, there will be some dates when dancers in the Nashville I Company will need to stay a little later, and days when the Nashville II dancers will need to come a little earlier. This will be so the dancers can all practice together. Dancers and families will be notified in advance.
Performance Information
MSOD Nashville Company will learn a dance routine to perform on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage. These dancers will order a costume, tights, shoes, etc. for this performance in November 2024. These dancers will also perform this routine during our annual recital showcase in the spring of 2025.
Our Nashville Company dancers will also learn a group routine to perform at the Music City Showstopper Downtown performance. The costume, tights, and red glitter performance boots are included in the cost for performers for this opportunity. Choreography for this performance will be taught during class and practiced at home. During our trip, we will have a required dress rehearsal at our resort (Gaylord Opryland Resort) for this performance. Our dancers will also have the option to participate in a Master Dance Class with a famous dancer / choreographer, this exciting guest has yet to be announced. In the past the master class instructor was an expert dancer from Dancing with the Stars.
Our dancers and their families will enjoy celebrating at the Music City Showstopper After Party that will take place at the famous Wildhorse Saloon.
Traveling
Each dance family is responsible for their own travel for this opportunity. As always, we will look into group flight prices. I will share this information with you all when travel prices are available for July 2025. You must travel through MSOD / Dance the world (our group) to participate in our group flight.
Performer Dedication
Please note: Representing our community, our studio, and dancing on the Grand Ole Opry Stage is an elite and incredible opportunity. MSOD Nashville Company dancers must have excellent class attendance and dedication to be a part of this elite group. This means they should arrive for class on time, prepared for class with a can-do attitude. These dancers should give 100% in class and practice at home as well. This class must be their number one extracurricular activity. If a dancer misses too many classes they may be required to complete and pay for private lessons with Melissa or Taylor in order to catch up. Dancers with poor attendance and / or lack of dedication will be dropped from the class without refund for class, costumes, props, trip through Dance the World / World Class Vacations, etc.
Please reply to this email and let me know if you are interested in receiving additional details when I have them.
