Everywhere you look there are twinkling lights and snowmen, candy canes and holiday cheer. There’s a chill in the air, but a warm feeling in our hearts as we reflect on another year gone by at Garri Dance Studio. It’s hard to believe that we’re only 4 months into our 2014-2015 dance season, and we’ve already done so many exciting things!<br />

We are so proud of each and every dancer at the studio, and we hope you enjoyed seeing how much they’ve learned so far this year as you watched classes during Parent Viewing Week. Our Garri dancers are so talented!<br />
<br />
So what’s happening next at the Studio?<br />
<br />
<b>WINTER BREAK </b> <br />
<br />
As you know, we will be taking a winter break from December 21st-January 3rd. The studio will be closed during that time, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dance! Here are a few ways for students to stay dedicated through the holiday season:<br />
<br />
Stretch. Set aside a time every day. It only takes 20-30 minutes, and it’s extremely beneficial. Those splits aren’t going to magically happen by themselves!<br />
<br />
Multitask. When you find yourself sitting around watching reruns of your favorite television show, use the time wisely! You can easily do two things at once. Instead of sitting on the couch, stand up and practice. You could work on balancing in passé or doing your floor exercises for core strength.<br />
<br />
Dance. Yes, it’s that simple. Just put on your favorite songs and dance! A little winter break can’t stop you from enjoying your passion. You never know, you’re friends and family might want to join you in a little holiday jig…’Tis the season!<br />
<br />
<b>RECITAL THEME</b><br />
<br />
We can’t wait to see what 2015 and the rest of the dance year has in store for us! One of the biggest upcoming events is our annual recital in June, and this year’s theme has finally been revealed (drum roll, please)…<br />
<br />
Our theme will be “What A Feeling!” inspired by the powerful emotions evoked by dance.<br />
<br />
<b>BIRTHDAY PARTIES</b><br />
<br />
We are currently booking birthday parties for 2015! What a better way to celebrate such a special day than with a dance party at Garri Dance Studio? Packages include an hour of dance and activities with an instructor, pizza, cake, and decorations. We take care of set up, clean up, and everything in between. Just invite your friends and be ready to DANCE! Call the studio to make your reservation today.<br />

An awesome 2013 is quickly coming to an end and we're gearing up for another amazing year at Garri Dance Studio! For your convenience and enjoyment, we've just added a few new classes to the schedule that we would really like to share with you!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Mommy & Me Kinder Dance Class (age 2)</b></div>
<div>
Saturdays at 1:30pm with Miss Sommer (starting 1/19/14)</div>
<div>
Let your little one learn the basics in ballet and tap with the fun and comfort of having you participate in the class with them. A great transitional class for the tiny dancer who loves to move and groove already but still likes having mom close by. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Ballet Technique Class (Level 1 & 2 Ballet)</b></div>
<div>
Thursdays at 5:30pm with Miss Sommer (starting 1/16/14)</div>
<div>
A perfect addition to supplement your ballerina's dance education! For the serious dancer that really wants to perfect their skills without an additional recital dance or costume fee, just technique!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Pre-Ballet (age 5-6)</b></div>
<div>
Tuesdays at 4:15pm with Miss Kim (starting 1/21/14)</div>
<div>
A new time slot for our most popular class on most of our studio family's favorite day for extra curricular activities; Burbank Unified School District Early Dismissal Day. Call to claim your child's spot before this great, no-fuss class fills up!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We can't wait to see you at Burbank's Best Dance Studio in the new year!</div>

Read below to learn why hundreds of families make GDS thier first choice in dance year after year!<br />
<br />
<strong>Why Choose GDS For Dance Classes?</strong>If most dance studios seem
to have qualified, friendly teachers, experience teaching children and a big
show at the end of the year, aren't they all pretty much the same? Does it
really matter which place you decide to enroll at? Yes. There are 4 main things
that can make a huge difference in the quality of instruction your child
receives, the amount of extra work and hassles the parents must deal with and
the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of being involved with a dance program.
Here are 4 things that every parent should consider before deciding on a dance
studio for their child.<br />
<br />
<strong>What Type Of Floor Is
Used?</strong><br />
Dance is a very physical activity that requires a lot of
jumping, which can put stress on bones and joints. Most dance footwear does not
provide any cushioning or support, so the shock of dance movement can place a
lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer. The best way to prevent
against potential injury is by choosing a studio with a professional "floating
floor". A floating floor is a dance floor that rests on a system of high-density
foam, to absorb the shock of jumping. A high-density foam base is superior to a
"sprung" floor, which usually consists of a wood structure built on the regular
floor.
<br />
All of our studios have floating floors. Our special floors help reduce the
risk of injuries and allow students to dance longer without getting
tired.<br />
<br />
<strong>What Is The Size Of The Class?</strong><br />
If the dance
class has fewer students in it each child will receive more personalized
attention, learn more and have more fun. With younger students it is easier for
a teacher to maintain control over the class and make sure each student
understands the concepts and instructions. Our smaller class sizes make sure
that no fundamental concepts are being missed. A smaller class size also allows
our teachers to ensure that students are not developing bad habits or improper
technique.<br />
<br />
Our studio limits all of our classes to a maximum of just
10-12 students per class. Many classes that are at capacity also have an
assistant teacher.<br />
<br />
<strong>What Are The Extras Required For The
Recital?</strong><br />
Most studios put on a recital in a professional theatre.
Students that perform in the show must have a costume for their dance number.
Some studios may require parents to sew their child's costumes, or pay extra and
the parents must find their own seamstress to do the sewing. This can be
inconvenient and frustrating for parents who are busy or can't sew. Most studios
also require parents to purchase tickets for the recital performance
night.<br />
<br />
We take all the stress out of recital! Your recital package
includes everything you need including costumes, tights, alterations and two
tickets to the show. Our studio employs our own professional seamstress to sew
and alter the costumes for every single alteration, so parents do not have to
worry about any costume hassles. Each student in our recital also receives two
included tickets. If you need additional tickets for family and friends, we
offer online ticketing with a 24/7 ticket hotline.<br />
<br />
<strong>Can I Get
Immediate Assistance And Customer Service?</strong><br />
In many studios the
teacher or the studio owner conducts classes and does the administration. By
trying to do two jobs at once, the class may suffer as the teacher has to use
class time for customer service issues, or the studio may have no customer
service available if the teacher is in a class. To have a good experience it is
important to choose a studio that can assist you with details like costumes or
schedules, even if a teacher is occupied in a class. Our studios have office
staff on hand during all regular class times in addition to many extended office
hours when classes are not in session, so you can get immediate assistance
whenever you need it.<br />

Garri Dance Studio's Recital, "This Magic Moment" June 24, 2012 at John Burroughs High School was a big hit! Over 400 Garri Dancers took the stage performing awesome dance numbers in Ballet, Tap Jazz, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre and Contemporary. Here is what GDS dance families are saying about the event...<br />
<br />
FIRST RECITAL!<br />
<br />
This was our first recital experience for our daughter, Natasha, (in Katie's 5:30 ballet 1 class). On behalf of our entire family, we wanted you to know how much we LOVED the absolutely GORGEOUS show last night!!! Thanks for all you do to make magic come alive for our children. <br />
Thanks again for a fantastic experience last night! <br />
Kathleen and Bob Watson (Natasha's mom and dad) <br />
<br />
FIFTH RECITAL... THE BEST ONE YET!<br />
<br />
The teachers and staff did an amazing job this year! This was our 5th recital and I have to say...hands down it was the best one yet! The choreography was impressive....the teacher's out did themselves. The location was also much more convenient and sign-in flowed very easy. <br />
You should all pat yourselves on the back...Great job everyone! <br />

HAPPY TO BE BACK AT GDS!<br />
<br />
Thank you, Garri Dance, for a job well done! <br />
Last night's recital reminded me why we came back to Garri Dance after a year at another studio. Very organized operation. I'm sure you saw the flaws in the how the show was put together, but the audience didn't! <br />
And the dancers were able to show what they learned. All the routines were choregraphed to highlight the fundamentals of the type of dance the kids learned. Yes, kids don't remember everything, and individuals aren't necessarily talented, that's a given. But it was obvious that even when they made mistakes with which step came next, as a whole, they LEARNED the dance techniques the routines were choregraphed to display! <br />
We left Garri Dance after a year only because of scheduling, and we will likely be leaving again after the summer for the same reason. But having spent a year in between at a different studio where the recital was all about the "company" dancers and the teachers themselves, who performed in most acts along side their students, it was so great to see a recital about the students who love to learn to dance. If our schedule allows, we will be back. And last night's recital made us even more likely to try harder to fit dance classes in next year. <br />

Under the dedicated direction of Miss Megan Baade, Garri Dance Studio has been awarded “Best Dance Studio” in Burbank for the fifth consecutive year. Also voted “Best Dance Instructor” in 2007 and 2011, Miss Megan has worked diligently for nearly ten years since she acquired the studio. Her main goal was to continue to bring top quality dance into the Burbank Community while instilling the love of dance into each and every student that walked through her door. Working to reach and inspire students has remained the top priority for Megan and her dynamic teaching team and because of her unique vision, the studio has grown into so much more than a simple dance studio. Garri Dance Studio is a multi-faceted center for the performing arts providing students of all ages, two years through adult, a quality education in dance, musical theatre and music. GDS has settled comfortably into their new home, currently located in the beautiful Magnolia Park District of Burbank. Carefully planned and built to fit the needs of her growing dance family and hundreds of Burbank students, Garri Dance Studio’s state of the art facility features floating wood floors which reduce the risk of injury and fatigue, high beam ceilings flooded with natural light in each dance room. One-on-one music instruction in piano, voice, and guitar is available by appointment in a private music room on site. GDS parents enjoy the convenience of having multiple children in classes at the same time saving valuable driving time to and from lessons each week. Ample street parking as well as parking lot behind the building is available for student drop offs or picking up a snack at Porto’s Bakery while waiting during lessons. Annual recitals are held at the Historic Alex Theatre in Glendale each year which is an event that Garri Dance Families look forward to each year. Over the last several years, Garri Dance Studio has worked closely to form partnerships with many Burbank Schools in an effort to bring creative programs and healthy habits right into your child’s classroom. Garri Dance Studio is now accepting registrations for Fall 2011. Please call to set up a free trial lesson 818-846-4390.

Garri Dance Studio provides a fun ten week program to all Stevenson Students in Burbank every year including all five California State Dance Standards. Megan Baade teaches grades K-5 all about creative expression, artistic perception, historical and cultural dance, aesthetic valueing and connections and applications of dance. The students have learned how to relate dance to everything they do in life, working as a team with their classmates, using the strength and flexibility required in dance to stay strong and healthy, problem solving and more. Adding dance into the cirriculum at Stevenson has inspired many students to further their dance education, some kids have even told us they would like to incporporate dance into their careers when they grow up!

On October 25th American CPR visited Garri Dance Studio and gave us the skills we need to save lives. We have never had the need to perform CPR on a student but it is never to early to learn how. Staff members were trained to do infant, child and adult CPR since we do have a large number of dance and music students ranging in age from toddlers through adults. We hope we never have a need to act on an emergency situation but in the event we do, we feel great knowing we can help! Happy Dancin'!Garri Dance Studio, Burbank, CAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05517207186038191615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658398792603185060.post-12563751908597679022009-09-10T16:25:00.000-07:002009-09-10T16:32:35.178-07:00Call Now For A FREE TRIAL Dance Lesson!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZnYx3Jpyi7YNiujugocaAdo00iN4sHvmWGVEpRX0uj7VTqOEJY1JGLwYLUNMQBTFPdaxYH_EkbV_LAfn1JLJr7doChXToNPXMlUcWIkux6pKTABxRbHQlH4cDrsJ2PYDvTUa-x5VoycK/s1600-h/IMG_0115.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZnYx3Jpyi7YNiujugocaAdo00iN4sHvmWGVEpRX0uj7VTqOEJY1JGLwYLUNMQBTFPdaxYH_EkbV_LAfn1JLJr7doChXToNPXMlUcWIkux6pKTABxRbHQlH4cDrsJ2PYDvTUa-x5VoycK/s320/IMG_0115.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379985644760910978" /></a><br />Fall is here and Garri Dance Studio has a brand new dance, music and fitness schedule for you and your family to take full advantage of. When choosing a dance studio for your child this fall, it's best to look at a few important things... Here they are:<br /><br />If most dance studios seem to have qualified, friendly teachers and experience teaching, aren’t they all pretty much the same? Does it really matter which place you decide to enroll? The answer is Yes! There are 4 main things that can make a huge difference in the quality of instruction the students receive. Here are 4 things that every parent should consider before deciding on a dance studio for their child. <br /><br />1. WHAT TYPE OF DANCE FLOOR IS USED?<br />Dance is a physical activity that requires a lot of jumping, which can put stress on bones and joints. Most dance footwear does not provide any cushioning or support, so the shock of dance movement can place a lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer. The best way to prevent against potential injury is by choosing a studio with a professional “floating floor”. A floating floor is a dance floor that rests on a system of high-density foam, to absorb the shock of jumping. A high-density foam base is superior to a “sprung” floor, which usually consists of a wood structure built on the regular floor. Garri Dance Studio’s new state of the art location has three dance rooms with floating dance floors to reduce the risk of injury and fatigue.<br /><br />2. WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE CLASS?<br />If the dance class has fewer students in it each student will receive more personalized attention, learn more and have more fun. With younger students it is easier for a teacher to maintain control over the class and make sure each student understands the concepts and instructions. Garri Dance Studio offers smaller class sizes to make sure that no fundamental concepts are being missed. A smaller class size also allows our teachers to ensure that students are not developing bad habits or improper technique.<br />Garri Dance Studio limits class sizes to allow each student to receive the attention necessary to grow in their dance education. Toddler and Children’s Classes are limited to 10 children per class, Pre Teen, Teen and Adult Classes are limited to 12 students per class. We also provide assistant teachers when necessary.<br /><br />4. DOES THE STUDIO OFFER MULTIPLE PRORAMS THAT RUN SIMULATNEOUSLY?<br />In an effort to save valuable driving time for parents running to and from lessons, Garri Dance offers multiple programs that run simultaneously in dance, fitness and music. If your daughter has a dance lesson at 10am every Saturday, why not have her sibling’s music lesson take place during the same time slot or get yourself into a Pilates or group fitness class instead of reading a magazine in the lobby? Offering a multitude of classes under one roof saves valuable driving time to and from the studio each week for all of our busy families.<br /><br />4. CAN I GET IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE?<br />In many studios the teacher or the studio owner conducts classes and does the administration. By trying to do two jobs at once, the class may suffer as the teacher has to use class time for customer service issues, or the studio may have no customer service available if the teacher is in a class. To have a good experience it is important to choose a studio that can assist you with details like costumes or schedules, even if a teacher is occupied in a class. Our studio has office staff on hand during all regular class times, so you can get immediate assistance. We also offer shoe fittings at our studio to provide you with a one stop dance experience.<br /><br />Garri Dance Studio is now accepting registrations for classes <br />Call today to set up your free trial lesson.<br />818-846-4390Garri Dance Studio, Burbank, CAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05517207186038191615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658398792603185060.post-81616554593359161862009-09-10T16:21:00.000-07:002009-09-13T08:32:05.847-07:00Thank you, Burbank!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs_ReIGeI25ByqRGst8sqKpk4mVpW-fl8fkLnKciH8njqUcNfoTdVHkiosnRaE5gZhAIDizq3g63ZWrvN9_8SI1NrC_rLKsnFrGfRzx7CVcT5X9UQGUNkhyCmu2NxjQVS9MijMGOP-SX5z/s1600-h/2009+BURBANKS+BEST+BW.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 319px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs_ReIGeI25ByqRGst8sqKpk4mVpW-fl8fkLnKciH8njqUcNfoTdVHkiosnRaE5gZhAIDizq3g63ZWrvN9_8SI1NrC_rLKsnFrGfRzx7CVcT5X9UQGUNkhyCmu2NxjQVS9MijMGOP-SX5z/s320/2009+BURBANKS+BEST+BW.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379983677149977394" /></a><br />According to the Burbank Leader Reader's Choice Poll, Garri Dance Studio is the "Best Dance School" in Burbank for the third consecutive year!!
