Spring 2011

"“BROADSTREET DANCE” January 2011
Important Dates...please keep posted!

January 29 – February 26 Saturday rehearsals from 3 -7 PM with Sherry… for all festival dancers

February 7 - 10 - DanceWorks “COMPETITION Festival” Mary Winspear Theatre, Sidney
February 13 - DanceWorks “COMPETITION Gala” 2 PM Mary Winspear
February 26 - Last scheduled Saturday rehearsals with Sherry before Spring Break, and


Teachers’ deadline for completion of teaching Festival/Show dances AND giving out costume instructions.
*Note: Performers have been chosen based on ability, practice habits, age and experience, commitment, and desire! Typically, the dancers take more than one class a week.
Performers must be committed to the dance(s), to the teachers and choreographers, to their fellow dancers, to the costumers, and finally to themselves, their Parents, and "BroadStreet Dance". As a result, it is imperative that ALL dancers attend ALL rehearsals and performances. (A Student, who misses only one hour of practice, wastes the time of all others involved.)
FOR EXAMPLE: If there are 16 dancers in a group, and 1 dancer misses 1 hour.... that is 16 hours of time wasted!!!! As well, another group could be using the studio time and that of the teacher!!! PARENTS WILL BE COUNTED ON TO GET STUDENTS TO ALL PRACTICES ON TIME, PLEASE! Thank You!! Lots of Work means lots and lots of FUN!
