Congratulations Dance Teams 2015 - 2016! 

Thank-you to everyone that came out to audition. If you did not make it this year - keep dancing and come out again next year. Come dance at lunch and take dance class. The more you dance the stronger you will become. For Break Team - Matt has said, if you are practising at lunch and your foundation skills improve - he may add people to the team later. 

For those of you that did make it - your first few practices are still like an audition - so try your best and have a positive attitude. 

Thank-you again for coming out and auditioning this year. Everyone who danced made me really happy.

Notice: First Notice Home 2015 - 2016

Dear Parents/ Guardians

Could you please complete this quick online form of your contact information so I can keep in touch with you this year? This is your child's homework for September 9. 2015. 

Now... on with the notice! 

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 shows at Frank Hurt Theatre. These performances are 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 two sets of shows. Our first show will be a workshop demonstration. This is a low-key performance on Nov.5 at 3:30 – 4:30pm  and it is meant to share with family and friends. The purpose of this demonstration is for the students to display what they have learned and to be introduced to stage performance in a comfortable manner. This is not meant to be a polished show. Costumes and lighting will be very basic and the performances will be ‘works in progress.’ Students must be available for a dress/technical rehearsal on Nov.4 from 3-4pm.
Our second show is a formal performance with full costumes and lighting. The dress rehearsal and elementary show will be held on December 4 from 12:30-2:48pm and the show will be on December 10 at 6:30pm.
