DanceStation newsletter - September 2006
| Welcome back dancers and hello to new students! Most of you by now have seen some of the new decor. Thank you to all of my painters who helped create such a cool dressing room over the summer for the girls. Much appreciated! Pictures are in! You may pick them up in the office/waiting room at your convenience. T-shirts and Sweatpants. A group order will be placed at the end of September, so order soon if you would like one. Reminder: September is evaluation time. We will be making sure everyone has been placed in the best class for her/his abilities. For the most part the schedule is set now, but some minor rearranging may be necessary. Thank you in advance for your patience. State Street Dance Company auditions will be held on Friday, Sept. 29 from 5-6:30 pm. Students enrolled in Ballet III and up may audition. This year there will be two student companies: First company and Second company. Both companies should be prepared to rehearse on Saturdays from 1:30-4:30pm and Thursdays from 7-8pm beginning Oct. 5. Second company members can expect about half the choreography and time commitment than that of the First company members. The audition will consist of ballet, jazz, and modern combinations. Students are expected to follow the dress code (ask for a brochure if you don’t have one). Older students please set a good example in this respect. Yes, I mean your hair too. All students in ballet classes (DR I and up) are asked to wear their hair in a bun or secured neatly to the head. Listed on the back is DanceStation’s yearly calendar. There are a few dates needing to be filled in, but most of them are there. I know many of you plan your vacations around the recital, so mark your calendars now! June 8 is dress rehearsal and June 9 is the recital at Collinsville High School. The calendar and the monthly newsletters will also be posted on our website, www.dancestation.biz. Daytime Adult Pilates and Adult Ballet have been postponed until October. You can still sign up if you are interested. We also may be offering an adult/couples ballroom session soon. Tell your friends! Have a great year!!! Thank you from all of our staff—Elizabeth Conway, Lisbeth Brown, Dianna Chadwick-Andrews, Clare Sedlacek, and desk help–Adrienne Bowman, and Ellyn Sjoquist. |
