Spring Chocolate Parade

 

This year we were #7 in the Henderson Spring Parade! Jon and Sana Cain drove their truck and trailer down the parade! Thanks to them! The kids that wanted to ride, rode and smiled, down the road as the dancers that wanted to dance strutted their stuff to the Music of "Thats what Dreams are made of" We all had a fun time and enjoyed some chocolate at the end of the parade . Thanks to all that came out to make this parade a lot of fun as usual!

The Year End Dance Review at the Horn Theatre on the CCSN Campus.
At 6:30 on May 28, 2010- FRIDAY
- Please take a moment to go over the program on the bottomof this email so you will know what shoes to bring your child in and which act they are in for our year end show!

DIRECTIONS to HORN
It’s a straight Shot…..30 minutes from my home…Take the 95 freeway to the Salt Lake City Exit, Go to Cheyenne East Exit. Go to the Campus Traffic Light and turn North (Left)Pass the new construction…The big Horn theatre parking lot is on the right. Its easy to get to and to find!
STUDENTS in first act should be in room behind stage by 6:00 !!! Doors open for us all at 5:45.
Tumbling pre-show fun on stage for tumbling classes will be at 6:15

SHOW Tips
1. Make sure all shoes and costume parts are LABLED! We do change shoes during the show so they should have both Tap and Ballet shoes with them and a shoe bag to keep them under their chairs back stage.
2. It is an old dance custom to present your favorite little dancer with FLOWERS after the show. In the past parents of New of Students have said “Why didn’t you tell me”!! ..... My boys prefer a candy bar...
3. Please have your child wear EXTRA MAKE-UP (too much is better than none). Besides being fun, it is necessary to wear so they don’t look washed out!
4. Girls HAIR OUT OF YOUR FACE! poni tails, buns or French braids are great. Tumblers-pull it back but make sure you can tumble in your “do”.
5. All hair bows and hats should be fastened with HAIR CLIPS that will hold it on! You may need extra clips besides the one that came with it, so we don’t interrupt their dances.
6. NO JEWELRY!!
7. Most studios do not allow video cameras...I personally dot mind as long as you don’t block the view for others. Flash photography does bother the performers, so don’t do it!
8. Stay in your seats and don’t let the kids run around…the dancers will be sitting with you if it is not their act...THANKS! The kids have worked too hard to have an audience with no manners!


FALL CLASSES will resume in August when school starts. If you filled out registration form on Picture Day, you are set for next year. If you change your mind and decide not to take next year PLEASE let me know ASAP. I have a tentative schedule of 2010-2011 classes posted in the studio now if you want to check it.

Thanks for a fun year…You’re Awesome! LOVE, Miss Brenda

Just a note OCT 1

A couple of things...okay 6 things!
1. I can now order ballet shoes and get them for $15. They take a couple of weeks but they are good. Let me know ASAP and I'll make an order if there are a few of you that still need them. Payless seems to only have a few sizes lately. Ill need to know what size you need. Just email me if you want some.
2. The Halloween Thriller Show is still at the Galleria mall on October 24th but they have changed the location from Dick's to Kohl's Court at 3:00 (where Mervyns used to be). I'll send a reminder later but just put that in your memory bank for now. Remember we will wear Halloween costumes!
3. I have also scheduled a show for Veterans Day on Nov 11 @ 2:00...it's a Wednesday and I thought since we have school and dance off that day anyways that we could do a show at the rest home .... So we have a show at Henderson Convelesant Home right on Lake Mead about 2 miles from my home towards the lake. We will wear our Brenda's Shirts and silver belts and black pants and do the Michael Jackson show. It will give the kids another chance to do their songs they have been working hard on.
4. Speaking of Silver belts. I made some and they are at the studio for $2.00 if you want one. Or you can look at them and make your own if you buy the stretch sequins at Wal-mart or Joann's and hot glue the ends together. I would like them all to match so check out the ones at the studio.
5. Everyone that ordered a Brenda's Red shirt should have it by now ..if you didn't get it please let me know because I have sent them home with the kids.
6. It looks like the costume fund raiser is going to be a huge success. Every one seems to be happy about it. Remember Janay will be here Friday to get the pkts and help you with orders, taxes and any other needs you have. You do have till the Oct 6 to get everything in and you also can turn them into me anytime before then and I will give it to her. She told me that as of Oct 1 there is new warmers that have BYU logo and U of U college logos on them. They could be a big seller if you have friends that are fans! Go to her web sight to see them.

Alaska Cruise

Hi all, Well Im going to set up the 2010 Alaska cruise for our dance group and anyone else that wants to come with us. We were planning on August of 2010 but Im thinking that the dancers will have forgotten all of their dances with that much time off dance.... sooooooooo I was looking at June 29 - July 6 and found the rates for that date. The cruise goes from Tuesday to tuesday. We would fly to Seattle WA then cruise then fly home.

If any of you are interested please let me know ASAP and I will give you more info. (We would need a $300 deposit by December)We need 8 rooms booked to be a group

The flight to Seattle was $299 in August ...I will assume for now that is aprox price for June also.

Cruise Rates are aproximate: (we cant get a set rate till we book our group)

interior rooms are $649 plus 127.81 tax -total = $776.81 for 1st and 2nd guest

(3rd and 4th person in the rooms are much cheaper)

ocean view $949plus

balcony $1149plus

suites $1949plus

Cruise 2009

This Year the dancers did a great show on the Carnival Cruise to Mexico. We all had a fun time and are planning our next cruise to Alaska in August 2010

Year End Note

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Year End Dance Review is at the Horn Theatre on the CSN Campus.
At 6:30 on May 28, Thursday
The freeway exit Cheyenne is closed! …Take Boulder Hwy to Nellis (turn right-North ), Go awhile on Nellis then turn Left onto Cheyenne, Go to the Campus Traffic Light and turn (Right-North) Pass the new construction, go to back…The big Horn theatre parking lot is on the right. It’s easy to get to and to find!
***(Plan on a 30 to 45 minute drive, with traffic.)
STUDENTS in first act should be in room behind stage by 6:00!!! Doors open for us all at 6:00.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Make sure all shoes and costume parts are LABLED! We do change shoes during the show so they should have both Tap and Ballet shoes with them and a shoe bag to keep them under their chairs back stage.
2. It is an old dance custom to present your favorite little dancer with FLOWERS after the show. In the past parents of New of Students have said “Why didn’t you tell me”!! ..... My boys prefer a candy bar...
3. Please have your child wear EXTRA MAKE-UP , especially lipstick –reddish (too much is better than none). Besides being fun, it is necessary to wear so they don’t look washed out!
4. Girls HAIR OUT OF YOUR FACE! poni tails preferred, buns or French braids are great. Tumblers-pull it back but make sure you can tumble in your “do”.
5. All hair bows and hats should be fastened with HAIR CLIPS that will hold it on! You may need extra clips besides the one that came with it, so we don’t interrupt their dances.
6. NO JEWELRY!!
7. Most studios do not allow video cameras...I personally dot mind as long as you don’t block the view for others. Flash photography does bother the performers, so don’t do it!
8. Stay in your seats and don’t let the kids run around…the dancers will stay in the back room for the whole show ...THANKS! The kids have worked too hard to have an audience with no manners!

FALL CLASSES will resume in August when school starts. If you filled out registration form on Picture Day, you are set for next year. If you change your mind and decide not to take next year PLEASE let me know ASAP. I have a tentative schedule of 2001-2002 classes posted in the studio now if you want to check it.

Thanks for a fun year…You’re Awesome! LOVE, Miss Brenda
IT’S PARTY TIME…May 2009

- Trophies will be sent home with your child this week. Please take a moment to go over the attached programs so you will know what shoes to bring your child in and which act they are in for our year end show!
-
- … End of the Year DANCE PARTY will be held –May 30…1:00-4:00..at the STOKES HOME (backyard and pool)
- ….not at the studio!
-
A-J bring Chips or Salads, K-R bring Desserts S-Z, bring Veggie or fruit tray,
Stokes will bring Hot dogs! (I will bring the punch to drink)
Come have fun! Bring your towel and wear swimsuit! The kids have worked hard this year...they deserve it!
THANK YOU Sandra Stokes and family!!!
