Dear Parents/ Guardians
Dance is a performance art so performing is a
large part of a dance student’s education. Dance students are marked on their
preparation as well as their skills demonstrated at these performances and at
the dress rehearsal. Students will have the opportunity to perform informally
in front of their peers and formally at assemblies, festivals and competitions.
Notices of reminder and permission forms will be sent home when these events
come closer.
The following performance and rehearsal dates are for our show at Frank
Hurt Theatre. This performance is integral to the dance program. Please make
note of these dates and help ensure that your child is in attendance. If there
are any conflicts please inform your child’s teacher immediately.
This semester the dance department will be
presenting one evening show. It is a formal performance with full costumes and
lighting. The dress rehearsal and elementary show will be held on December 15 from 12:30-2:30pm
and the show will be on December
18 at 7pm.
There are two other dance events that the students
will be participating in this semester. The first one is the Surrey Dance Festival
at the Bell centre and the second one is Outbreak Dance Competition. Both of
these events are in January and I will send home notices and update the blog
with more information as I receive it.
