The overlaps are intentional as we need to practice not only your dancing sections but entrances, exits & places with the different groups. Also advanced dancers remember to bring in your leotard/ skirt selections.

Saturday, January 31 & February 7

6:00-7:00 Advanced Group

Saturday, February 14

5:45-6:45 In Studio Dress Rehearsal -Everyone

Times are not available yet for Arts & Culture Rehearsals. I will let you know soon as I hear.

The Performance is Tuesday, February 17. Start time is 7:30. As soon as I know where we are in the program I will set a call time. There are posters. If you have places where you are able to put them up let me know, I will forward a copy to you.

On another note next week end there is certainly no shortage of ballet. The Atlantic Ballet will be in town with their production of King Lear and as well it is ballet Saturday at Empire Theatres. This time it is La Fille Mal Gardee performed by the Royal Ballet Company.

That's it for now ....see you later in the week!

OK this what is happening this week end. M & P are meeting to work on their little pas de deux from 6-6:30. This means Ballet/Point is starting @ 6:35.

Saturday the senior group will rehearse from 6- 7:15 after the regular ballet class.

The following two Fridays ( January 30& February 6) I have the Level 3 's in for rehearsal. There will be be overlap & I am waiting to see if I can start my private earlier so I can fit everything in without being too late. I will sort that schedule as soon as I can.

The performance is Tuesday, February 17 with a staging time that is not available yet. I plan to have our own mini dress rehearsal at the studio Saturday, Februay 14 5:45-6:45.

That's it for now!

Wednesday Class..Cancelled Tonight!

Hi out there! My 5 o'clock School of Dance Level 5 was cancelled today. I have just struggled back from work now and although there is no precipitation right now I am cancelling class. Many roads are covering in heaps of snow/slush/ice. There are massive puddles everywhere and the wind is scarey! Hopefully we will get the class going next week. Friday & Saturday are on as usual.

I know we need to start the DTAN piece but I am up to ears in work & report writing so the group work will have to begin next week.

Take care & hope your winter schedules are getting settled as possible.
