Studio Newsletter March
DANCING NEWS March 2007
Firstly, congratulations to all the dancers who have been out there competing this year. Not just for what you may have won, but on trying your best, and giving our studio a great name! I received a wonderful email from a teacher/judge in Brisbane congratulating me on the standard of our girls, its up on the Banksies blogspot.
Displays
Please let me know if you are able to dance at Old Government House on Sunday 27th May. It is an all day event (we do a 15min display about 4 times during the course of the day.). If you can do morning, afternoon or both, please let me know. I will have more details of exact times as soon as I receive them.
The senior display gig at the Westin Hotel has fallen through.
Competitions
Campbelltown Competition is Sunday 20th May – Im hoping to have our beginners and primary dancers ready for this competition. The following Sunday is SDAA at Ashfield Boys HS and then the fortnight after that is St George Eisteddfod at Arncliffe.
Exams
Studio exams will be held on 1st July, at home. For those doing Preprimary Assessments – these are ‘no-fail’ events, and a kilt outfit is not needed. I will be sending home the exam fees envelope at the start of next term. Please let me know if morning or afternoon suits you for the exams. They will be an all day event, so first in first served regarding times. This is also the day of Australasian Championships. So if the Premiers want to the champ, you will need to be first up in the morning for the exams. The champs don’t start until 1pm.
Debutante Ball
The SDAA Deb ball is being held on Saturday 30th June at Bankstown Trotting Club. There are 3 girls from the studio making their debut, Kirstin, Averil and Catherine. We will also be doing a studio display dance in the entertainment section. (eligible for those dancers 13 and over). The studio mums are talking about putting a table together for the ball. Tickets are approx $70 each. Please let Ingrid (Katrina’s mum) or Lesley (Ashley and Greer’s mum) know if you are interested in going and they will mark your name down.
Concert
The NSW State Committee Concert is on Sunday 17th June at St Marys Band Club. Very Exciting Stuff!! We are doing 3 studio dances in it. The younger dancers are doing ‘Knees Up Mother Brown’. The Beginners Performance Group are doing the ‘Magical Fairy Dance’ and the Seniors are doing “Panic! At the Disco’ I will discuss outfits with you very soon, but I promise they won’t be expensive!!
Tickets are nice and cheap – so please bring along your family and friends, they will enjoy the day because its not just boring old bagpipes!! I’ve been told that tickets will be available soon.
TShirts - $15
I have just received some studio singlets and tshirts. They have turned out really nicely! Ive got from size 8 – adult (but the 8 is a very small 8, Darcy was walking around in it and it didn’t look too ridiculous!!)
There are adult’s tshirts available as well, if any parents would like one.
All the shirts are $15 each.
Fundraising
I am going to try and organise the buskers license for the City of Sydney so that we can get into the city to do some fundraising over the holidays. I will keep you posted.
Keep On Dancing!!
