Email sent out 10/13/11

I am posting this email I sent out just in case some of you don't check your emails or have changed emails.  I want to make sure we are all on the same page.
 
Hello Dancers!

Great job doing your proposals.  I was impressed with the research and effort many of you put in.  I wish we could have more dances, but our time is limited.  I hope some of you propose your dances next semester again! 

Wonderful work at Shakespeare.  Huge thanks to our wonderful parent chaperons!

Heads up, we only have about a month to start, finish, and have your student choreographed dances cleaned before we go into the 2 weeks of concert prep.  Please do not miss class or after school practices, as we are on a tight schedule.  That said, choreographers, always come prepared with material or tasks to do during your hour.

PDC PICTURES:
Your pictures orders are due tomorrow (Friday).  Please have your envelope ready to turn in to me tomorrow.  If you have specific questions, contact Sherry Ward, the photographer.  I also need the picture # of which headshot photo you want me to order for the pictures I am ordering to put up on our bulletin board.

Social: Sadie's Dance
optional, but for those who would like to go to Sadies as a dance co. group.  I will be teaching swing dance at 5:30pm in the dance room for an hour, then I think the dancers will be going to an old diner, then the dance.  Dress theme is 50's / Greece. 

SHAKESPEARE ASSIGNMENT:
One to two page type written paper about what you learned from our Shakespeare trip.
Due: Tuesday October 18th

Halloween Social: ? TBA?

State Dance Festival is confirmed for Sat Feb 18th at the UofU.

Need deposit soon for our big trip to Philadelphia to purchase tickets.  Trip helper moms looking at ticket prices, please keep me informed, we should act soon, contact me once you contact an airline and get "real" prices.

I have also attached our "Dancer Spotlight" so we can start presenting those with the information all the dancers submitted at the beginning of the year (the questionnaire).  If you still didn't do it, please do it :)


You are all wonderful, I am so happy to have you on company! 
Please remember to take time to keep up your dance technique and take ballet classes :)

Publicity Officer: you may want to get out how well we did to the school (school newspaper) or anywhere else that you can think of, or even write up a little thing about our experience there.

happy dancing--

October!

We had a great weekend at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City!  Second in Ensemble and First in Duo/Trio.  The duet was one out of only 4 dances that were invited to perform in the Closing Awards Ceremonies!

Now straight into more business...

Only current PDC 10-11 should vote please

Christmas Social 2010

We had a great time at Brittany's house (thank you!).  

Everyone wore "ugly Christmas sweaters" and brought food for our lovely soup and bread bowl dinner with drinks and homemade desserts.  Bradyrian even missed school that day spending the whole day baking hundreds of homemade cookies and rice crispy squares for us (not endorsed by the teacher).
  
We all wrote a special note to everyone in the company on Christmas Cards while listening to holiday music.





















We exchanged white elephant gifts (socks).  Some people happened to get matching socks (and became best buds and did face masks), while some got pantyhose.











We finished the evening talking, socializing, and watching clips of last year's PDC Concert.


Good Times!!!

Opening Social / Dinner Party

On Tuesday, September 21 PDC had a lovely dinner party at Beth Covey's beautiful house!

We came with our moms, all dressed up and enjoyed a yummy dinner, while approving our Chicago trip and getting to know each other outside of dance.

We also received a beautiful handmade necklace pendant that said PDC on one side.  They boys, I mean, men, will be receiving a dog tag with similar inscription, so they can feel similar, but not too pretty.  Dancers, please pay $20 to Beth to help reimburse her family for the necklaces.

Can't wait for our next social!
