September News

Welcome Back! 

This year I have reorganized all the classes. I will be doing some different excercises and drills with each class. Your dancer may complain about sore feet and legs, but it won't last long.

In addition to myself, Caitlin and Kielan will be teaching each class. Both Caitlin and Kielan are former ICS Stepdancers. I have also added 2 student assistants to help in each class. Elizabeth C., and Colleen C.

Summer News

July Dates:
There is a change in the dates for July:
We will dance on the 1st and the 8th.
There will be no Ceili camp.

August Dates:
Camp this week is going very well, and I would like to try some of the new techniques we are using with the entire school. Therefore, instead of having regular classes on Tuesday, I am going to hold 2 workshops in August.

August 4 from 10:30 - 12:30 for any dancer in the 5:45 summer class.

August 5 from 10:30 - 12:30 for any dancer in the 6:45 summer class.

Pre-registration is required for these workshops.

Reminder - Dance tonight - June 3

Just a reminder, Summer classes start tonight.

June: 3rd & 10th
July: 1st & 15th

9/9:30 classes: 5:45 - 6:30
1:00 class: 6:45 - 8
The 10:15 class is very small and will be divided between the other two class times. This is ONLY for the summer. The children will be told which class to attend. NO ONE is being promoted or demoted! We are merely regrouping for the summer. In September the dancers will be assigned a new time.

Also, new students may join for the summer months.

No Dance May 17

Dancers and Parents

There will be no dance on Saturday, May 17th.

Summer Camp
Beginner Camp: June 30 - July 3 from 9:30 - 11. Cost $70/person
Open to all new dancers and any dancer in the 9/9:30 classes. This year we will be doing something a little different at camp. Not only will we be doing 2-3's and 7's and basic steps, but we are going to do rhythmic training. This is a unique way to help the dancers keep time to various beats in music. Please inform Doodie if your child is planning to attend so I have enough student assistants available.

Ceili Camp: July 7 - 11th from 6:00 - 7:30pm. Cost $50/person
Open to anyone age 12 and up. Adults welcome! This camp is going to be a continuation of the winter Ceili classes. Please register for camp with Doodie, or by calling or emailing. Payment is not due until the first class.

Enjoy your summer and keep checking the blog for summer performances.

April 27 Performance

On Sunday, April 27, we were asked to dance at the Mellow Theater at 2pm for the O'Flaherty Concert. The older girls will do the primary performance, but he would like to have the younger dancers on stage as well to participate in the program. The details are still a little sketchy, but please let me know at dance today if you are interested in participating.
