January Newsletter

2026

 

Thank You!! – Thank you so much for all the thoughtful Holiday gifts that myself, my staff and assistants received. We cannot thank you enough and hope your Holiday was filled with family, laughter & love. Here is to an amazing year in 2026!

 

Toys for Tots – Thank you everyone that donated toys to the Toys for Tots mission. Your kindness and generosity during the Holiday season are deeply appreciated and I am sure put a smile on many faces! I am truly blessed to be a part of such a giving dance family! You are the BEST!

 

Holiday Party Success! – We had so much fun with everyone at our annual holiday party! I don’t know which part was better … the food, the laughs, the gifts, the games or just seeing our dancers smile from ear to ear!! All our pictures have been posted on social media and will be up on our website soon! We hope you had an amazing holiday & winter break!

 

Costume Balances – Recital costumes have been ordered. We have many costume catalogs and the costume balance depends on which catalog we choose to order from for your child’s class. We do not charge a flat fee for all costumes. Your costume balance will be added to your account on or before Saturday, January 3rd. You will receive an email with your costume balance that day as well. We offer several convenient payment options. You can make weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payments instead of paying the whole balance at once! All costume balances are due by February 1st. If payment is not received by February 1st, a monthly 9.9% finance charge will be added until the balance is paid in full. If you have an automatic payment plan set up with us, please email us back when you receive your costume balance email to let us know how you would like to pay off your balance. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak with Miss Carla.

 

Birthday Parties – Celebrate your next birthday at Elite Dance Academy of Marlboro! Let our professionally trained staff make your birthday party one that your friends will never forget! Whether you want to be in control of the party or have us do all the work, we have great packages to accommodate all! Ask Miss Carla for a birthday packet with more information! Check out our social media for pictures and videos from previous birthday parties we’ve thrown!

 

Recital Dates & Venue – I would like to remind everyone that our dress rehearsal and recital dates have been set for our 7th annual Recital themed, “World of Imagination”! Our Dress Rehearsal is scheduled for Friday, June 5th, 2025 and Recital for Saturday, June 6th, 2025. Times TBA. Both our Dress Rehearsal and Recital will be held at Raritan High School in Hazlet, NJ.

 

Important Recital Information – Throughout the next few months, we will be sending out important recital information. Since we are a paperless studio, all correspondence will be sent through email as well as posted on the corkboard in the studio and on our website. Please be sure to read each flyer as it will contain important information regarding the steps we will be taking to prepare for our first annual recital.

 

Dance Company – Interested in becoming a member of the Elite Dance Company?? Do you want to see what it takes, how the competitions work or just come and support the team? The Elite Dance Company will be competing in several local dance competitions over the next few months that are open to the public. Please see Miss Carla if you are interested in coming to watch and she will provide you will the location & schedule of our entries.

 

Emergency School Closings – EDA follows the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School district for emergency school closings. If schools are closed or dismissed early due to a weather emergency, EDA will also be closed that day. Since school is mostly remote, we will make the determination of closure by early afternoon at the director’s discretion depending on the safety of travel. This information can also be obtained by logging on to our website: elitedanceacademynj.com and will be posted to our Facebook & Instagram accounts: @elitedanceacademynj

 

January School Closing – The studio will be closed on Monday, January 19th in observance of Martin Luther King Day. The studio will re-open on Tuesday, January 20th.
