September Newsletter
Mon, Aug 25 2008 11:51
Fall classes will be starting the week of September 8th. We are looking forward to seeing all of our students again and also there is great excitement in welcoming some new students this year. We had a very successful summer and enjoyed some of our new endeavors we put in place for the summer. All in all, we had a nice summer.
We are getting ready for our “Nutcracker Tryouts” on September 6th at 1:00 at the Studio. We hope to see a lot of you ballet dancers who are interested in doing the production with us. Some questions have come up over the summer as to whether this involves becoming a member of Flower City Ballet. This has never been the intent our “Nutcracker” Performance. We are interested in students that would like to learn the choreography and be in the show as a learning experience or a desire to perform. Other than that, there is no mandate that you should be a member of the Flower City Ballet or that following the performances on Dec. 20th and 21st that you have to become a member. We want all participants to have this experience with our intentions: “ Have fun, learn some new ballet choreography, receive stage experience and meet new friends”. By the way, there are several roles left for intermediate and advanced dancers who are also on pointe. Call the studio if you are interested (325-2114) or just show up.
We are participating in the Artwalk this year; Sunday, September 14th. Carla and Cameron are doing the “pas de deux” and the “Coda” from the “Nutcracker”. Come and join us if you can, as I know they would love to have your support. It really is a fun day.
We will be starting Sunday rehearsals for our performances of the Nutcracker. Also our performances with the Brighton Symphony. There are also some performances in the works for several other venues, but they have not yet been finalized.
We’d like to welcome aboard two new board members: Deb Buckley and Cyndi Lovejoy. Thanks to both of you for your commitment.
We have once again committed to doing the “Mommie and Me Expo” in the Spring of 2009. We will be doing some performances there also. Should be lots of fun.
Our Spring performance will include “Strauss Waltzes” next year and soon we will be learning the new choreography for that.
Our new youth and adult classes are growing by leaps and bounds and we are having so much fun with all of our new students.
Well, this is all for now. Our Artistic Director will be starting some informative articles from time to time in our newsletter. Look for them soon.
