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--

PDC Pictures are Up!!!

Dancers, here are the pictures.  You all look lovely!  Please note, once you choose the pictures you want, Sherry will then touch them up and airbrush and clear up imperfections while making you look natural.  Also, the size of the picture has to be taken bigger, since it will print smaller, cutting off some of the edges.

This is what she wanted me to let you know:

I have the pic ready and up online. Here are a few things to tell the girls...

*This is online PROOFING ONLY!!!

Lp Homecoming Carnival & Halftime Performance

Lone Peak Fight Song

PDC Dancers are so versatile they could be cheerleaders (just don't listen to their singing)

This past weekend was a lot of fun.

PDC participated in the carnival before the game.  We had a booth with henna (by our amazing Jasmine), jedi braids (way to braid Ashlyn and Cierra), nails with crackle paint, and otter pops.  Huge thanks to Jasmine and family, et all. for putting this together last minute!  (officers, please post pics)

Thumbs Up!
I don't have to
pee my pants
anymore!

HI!

The Homecoming halftime consisted of dancers from PDC, cheer, drill, and ballroom, and the captains/officers of each team helped choreograph and put it all together (supposedly).  Event though there was miscommunication and difficult extra practices, it turned out quite well.  I am proud of you dancers!  Here are some pictures.

Now we REALLY need to start working on Shakespeare which is the beginning of October! Be prepared for extra and late/early practices dearies.

We are all friends
