April News From
Studio 180 Dance
|
The sun is finally shining and our recitals are sneaking up on
us! Keep rehearsing, smiling and loving dance and life!
Once again, we want to thank all participants, sponsors and donors to our
Dance-A-Thon for Haiti
which raised $3,552 and donated directly to The American Red Cross. If you have not
heard, pictures from Jeff Jackson of the Dance-A-Thon can be found at
www.picmyphotos.com by entering the password "haiti." 50% of all
photography purchased via Jeff Jackson will also be donated to the American
Red Cross.
Miss
Carey and Miss Robin have embraced their new teaching positions and love
being with Studio 180. Also, Mr. Eric, our newest aerial dance substitute has
begun to make a great impact on our aerial dance students. We are particularly excited to offer our
aerial students such a broad program.
Classes in the studio are filling and time is closing in on the recital. If
you want to register for more classes, we welcome your participation in class;
however, please note that you cannot be in that
class's recital piece as choreography is almost finished and
costumes would not arrive on time. See you in the studio!

Make-Up Class Schedules
As
we all know, the snow in February caused us all to stay in for what seemed like
eternity! Since children will still be in school after our May recital, we are
going to add a week of make-up classes then. Also, this month, Ms. Meggie will
be visiting Hawaii to welcome a friend home
from Afghanistan and to work
with her former aerial troupe, Samadhi Hawaii.
While she is gone, we welcome our new aerial substitute, Mr. Eric, an
experienced aerial artist you will love! To view the make-up look online under class schedules. And feel free to
call the studio if you have any other questions!
