Three Glamorous Locations!
We all know our glittery Mordialloc studio, and a new addition of the Armadale hall, but over the holidays we have been able to get hold of another fabulous hall to teach from.
So now Glittery Tapping Wonderland will have three glamorous locations -
Mordialloc, Armadale and Caulfield South!
MORDIALLOC STUDIO – 2 Lamana Rd, Mordialloc.
ARMADALE – The Uniting Church, cnr Kooyong Rd & Clarendon St, Armadale.
CAULFIELD STH – The Anglican Church, 406 Kooyong Rd, Caulfield South.
Concert DVDs!
Yay! They are ready! Please see your teacher to pick them up.
If need to order one, please see Miss Lou Lou and we can order one for you.
Watering Can
We have a lovely green watering can sitting at the front door if any children would like to water our poor dry garden!
Maybe siblings looking for something to do could do a little watering!
Butts
Sitting outside we have a nifty yellow cigarette butt holder for anyone who needs a ciggy.
The local mechanics must stand around fagging on under our pink awning whilst we are not here leaving gross butts in our fairy garden, hopefully they will get the hint!
The fairies have just given up smoking – cold turkey and it is a bit cruel to tempt them with butts!
Toy Cupboard
We have a lovely green toy cupboard in the foyer full of toys for entertaining siblings. Please feel free to bring the toys in onto the shag pile to play with.
Please pack them afterwards!
Colouring In
There is a stack of colouring pages on the pink desk and recycled paper for drawing.
We also have some special books to keep their lovely artwork in afterwards!
Healthy Snacks and Drinks
Are available for hungry kids, perfect for when you are rushing after school, or fabulous for bored siblings.
The juices, milks and fruit cups are in the fridge.
First pay your teacher and they will give you a straw or a spoon.
Tee Shirts For Sale
We have an assortment of tee shirts, which can be purchased from our rack.
We are also taking orders if there isn’t a size that is right for you.
Tap Shoe bags, stickers and dance pants are also for sale.
Please see your gracious teacher if anything appeals!
Glitterization Day
If you are keen have glamorous and glittery shoes, we are having a Glitterization day!
When – Saturday the 1st of March at 3pm
Where – The Glittery Tapping Wonderland – 2 Lamana st Mordialloc.
What to bring – Your Tap shoes AND 3 vials of glitter
(Ask me about colours & combinations!)
Everything else will be provided.
$15 – to be pre paid.
Parking
Apologies in advance for the road work in Lamana St!
They are fixing our gutters, but why couldn’t they have done it over the holidays!
The best spots to park would be in Governor Rd.
Please refrain from parking in the other factory car parks, they get a bit cranky!
Armadale Nappies
Just a little reminder for all the lovely Armadale Mums…
Please pop any dirty nappies in the big bins outside, the Church has specifically asked me to mention not to put anything alien in the toilets or the sanitary disposal unit.
Thanks!
Term Fees
The Glittery Tapping Wonderland has a relaxed, creative and fun atmosphere, which is what you are attracted to and what keeps you coming back…
But to keep our nurturing and caring dance school running and so as we can pay our Gracious teachers, we have to follow a fee structure.
Term Fees – Paying the term fees ensures that you/your child has a place in the class.
We know who will be coming each week and we can control how many there are in class.
Term Fees keep the class running on time, as the teacher doesn’t have to deal with casual fees.
Casual Payments – Must be paid prior to you or your child entering the class.
Please hand you teacher an envelope with all the details filled out and $15 enclosed, please mention to your teacher if you need change!
Try Out Classes – $15 to be paid prior to entering class. If your child is shy, it may take 2 or 3 classes before they become involved, there is a lot to look at and take in, once they are involved, you can pay the balance of the term.
Make-up Classes – If you or your child are unwell or are going to miss a class you are welcome to do a make-up class.
Please call Miss Lou Lou PRIOR to the class to let her know so we can work out where you can fit in.
-Make-up classes must be made up in the same term.
-If we are not notified we cannot offer a make-up class.
-Please ensure you have paid your Term fees in full by the 2nd week.
(Unless prior arrangements have been made with Miss Lou Lou)
-If the fees haven’t been paid by the 3rd week you will receive a “Friendly reminder”
(Also known as an invoice)
After 4th week a $25 overdue fee will be incurred for each Term payment not paid.
Envelopes- Please fill in an envelope with all your details (name & class etc) pop your cash or cheque into the envelope (Your teacher can give you change before you seal the envelope) and hand it to your teacher so she can mark you into the roll book.
-If paying by credit card or Eftpos, OUR receipt needs to go into the envelope.
So that the class runs to time to pay your fees, please arrive 5 minutes earlier if you for the 1st class, or wait 5 minutes after the 2nd class.
-To receive the discount for the second class or child, fees need to be paid in full prior to the commencement of the Term. Thank you for your understanding.

Questions for the highly qualified
Dr Lottie Prospect.
Dear Dr Lottie,
I have a recurring problem that I am hoping you can help me with.
I attend tap dancing classes on a Tuesday evening and every single time, without fail, when we practice our Time Steps, my underwear rides way, way up.
It is a very annoying and uncomfortable problem and I feel extremely embarrassed and exceedingly conspicuous if I attempt to adjust them as we are dancing in front of enormous mirrors.
I have tried several types of underwear from seamless to boy leg, bikini brief and even non-bikini brief.
Do you have a solution to this very excruciating problem?
Signed Chafed and Comfortless.
Dear Chafed and Comfortless,
Have you tried not wearing any underwear?
My Husband swears by it.
Thank you for your agonizing letter.
Dr Lottie.
