Pointe! COVID-19 Response Update- The Pointe! Studio of Dance will be closed for an additional 2 weeks. Please see below message from Gina Tate.
- We will continue to keep you updated about the studio re-opening via email and the studio website (www.thepointestudioofdance.com).
- We will make up the missed classes over the next 2 weeks on weekends. We will provide you a schedule after we determine our definite re-opening date.
Still Holding On...As we all know, the State of North Carolina has been restricted in terms of businesses that can be open, ways we can move around and about, and we have limits to the number of people who can be gathered at one time. Due to this, THE POINTE! will remain closed for the next 2 weeks. Please keep an eye on the studio website (www.thepointestudioofdance.com) for our Grand Re-opening.
But, even in these unique times, the studio must continue paying bills to keep the option of re-opening a reality when we are all released. Thus, tuition is still due for the month of April. You may pay via PayPal (please remember to manually include the $4 fee) or by bringing your check to the studio mailbox (please email info@thepointestudioofdance.com when you drop off so it can be picked up in a timely fashion). Remember, we will be making up any missed classes as soon as we are able. We are also looking to reschedule our annual recital. Please know our dancers will have their time to shine.
We also understand that some families have been negatively financially affected by the State and Federal mandates. If this is you, please contact the studio ASAP. Remember, like in all other things, communication is key. We don't want to lose any of our POINTE! Family members in the midst of these things we cannot control.
We hope that each of you stays safe, stays sane, and continues to dance during our physical time apart.
But, NOTHING can keep us apart in our hearts!!!
Love you ALL,
Gina

A Note From Gina Tate,
Executive Director
All thanks and honor be to GOD our father who has instilled a vision in me and has trusted me to go forth with it!
Our goal at THE POINTE! is to offer the finest dance education to students of all ages. Some of our students have a serious interest in the art form and hope to make it their profession one day while others simply find it an enjoyable activity. We strive to encourage each student to "RISE". Our focus is to bring out the best in every student no matter what age. We offer a variety of dance opportunities and set realistic and age appropriate expectations that will help nurture a genuine love of the art form. At THE POINTE! we help to build healthy bodies and minds, greater self-esteem, poise, motivation and dedication in a safe and stress free learning environment.
With each new year we empower our dancers to grow stronger as our students are consistently soaring and striving for excellence from age 2 and beyond! Bless all who have contributed to our success at 'THE POINTE! We will continue to lift each other up, grow through technique, and embrace our GOD given ability to "RELEVE' " To The Top!! Gina Tate , Owner/CEO "The Pointe! Studio of Dance"
