Parent Observation: This Week!

This week, November 14 - 20, 2016 we invite parents/guardians into the studio classroom to observe their student in class. This is a wonderful opportunity to step inside the studios to witness all of their hard work and progress so far this season! 

We kindly ask that you limit the number of observers to 2 people per student to allow for comfortable seating for all who attend. *Note - Children's Division classes in Studio D have been emailed separately for observation plans. Please refer to your email.

Ballet Shoe Donations

Have a gently used pair of ballet slippers at home? Instead of storing them, consider donating them to other students in need. One of our Academy students is collecting ballet slippers and tights to support the Princesses Ballet program at City Gospel Mission. This free program helps over 250 at-risk young ladies develop confidence through dance (we're big fans of that!). If you'd like to contribute, please rubber band or bag pairs of ballet slippers (no pointe shoes please) and place them in the collection bin in the lobby. Gently used ballet tights (no holes please) are also welcome.


Academy Communication

In the event of any class cancellations due to inclement weather or any other reasons, the Academy staff will send an email notification to the email address on file as well as post updates to the Otto M. Budig Academy Facebook page (be sure to 'Like' us!). The Academy phone line 513.562.1111 is for use during regular office hours Monday-Friday. If you have any questions or need to report an absence during evenings and weekends, please contact the Front Desk staff directly at 513.621.5219.
