Hi Dance Families,
I would like to take the week of March 5th to have conferences during class time with all of the students and parents. I think the dancers are doing so well and I want to have a chance to talk privately with each of you about some goals and challenges for each individual dancer.
Time sign up sheets are in the lobby. Please sign up for a time during your students class time.
Dancers will still have class during the conferences. A substitute will run classes in the big studio, and we will meet in the small studio for conferences.
We will not have parent observation for the ballet, jazz and lyrical classes during this week. I will reschedule observation for later in April.
Thanks,
Polly

2012 Spring Show “Once Upon A Time”
Please find important information and dates regarding our 2012 Spring Show “Once Upon A Time”.
Who: All dancers currently enrolled in class at Contemporary Dance Academy. All dancers ages 2 – 18 are invited to show off to their friends and family on stage in our 2012 spring show.
What: CDA’s end of year show is Once Upon A Time. All Tiny Tot classes will perform from 6-6:30pm. We will then take an intermission and Snow White will start at 7pm. Dancers will be excused to their families immediately following their dance.
The Dress rehearsal for all level 1-6 ballet, jazz, and lyrical dancers will be from 12-4pm on June 4th. Exact times will be posted in early May. Tiny Tot dancers do not have a dress rehearsal.
Where: Our Spring showcase will be held at The Lincoln Center in Fort Collins on Monday, June 4th.
Why: The confidence and poise to perform is something that cannot be taught in the classroom. Dance is a performance art and is meant to be shared. A dancer can master their steps physically in class, but this is only part of what I hope to teach them–the rest comes out when they have the opportunity to perform on stage. To stand out on stage at the end of a performance and know that they have thrilled the audience to the extent where they will applaud, cheer, or give a standing ovation is an incredible feeling.
Cost: Tickets will be $12 and it will be general admission. **Tiny Tot dancers do not need a ticket to come back in to watch Snow White. Backstage volunteers do not need a ticket. Tickets will go on sale April 1st.
Costumes: Costumes range from $40-60. The costume payment is due by January 28th and may be charged to your account. Pictures of each costume will be posted in the lobby the week of January 16th.
