UNASHAMED T-SHIRTS & DVDs 🎬
Returning families from last spring—we still have your Unashamed T-shirts and DVDs! We apologize that these are getting to you so late. Unfortunately, we did not receive them in time, and we weren’t able to get them to families over the summer.
If you participated in Unashamed, you can pick up your T-shirt and DVD at the studio this week!
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!
💕BRING A FRIEND WEEK 🎉
October 5–8th
We’re inviting all First Position students to bring a friend to class for FREE during Bring A Friend Week!
This is a fun opportunity for your child to share something they love with a friend and give them a chance to experience First Position for themselves. Friends are welcome to join a class that week at no cost!
Why Bring a Friend?
Our hope is that your child’s friend will enjoy their experience and consider joining us for SOTA (School of the Arts) for the remainder of the season!
A few things to know:
Friends may attend a class for free during October 5–8.
All guests must register through our website before attending.
Please invite friends who may be interested in continuing with First Position for the season!
Have questions? Email us—we’d love to help!
Invite a friend. Share your joy. Grow our First Position family! 💕
