New Dancers of PDC 13-14!!! Happy Summer!

I hope your summer is treating you all well!

I have been taking an awesome technique class at the Salt Dance Festival at the U with a former Doug Varone dancer, Netta!  We have also been in the process of selling our townhome and buying a home, along with swimming lessons for the boys.  We will be moving the end of June to Lehi, just down Mill Creek Pond Rd, not too far.  So, yes, lost of packing, cleaning and unpacking!
I will be heading to Canada (Vancouver Island) to see my family in July.  In August I will take the RW Teacher's workshop, do our PDC Dance Camp, and take the first couple days of the GAGA workshop right before I have my back to school teacher meetings.  Then, school starts, along with my grad school classes too!

A couple things, if you don't check the facebook PDC 13-14 group...

1)  Update or email me your updated or corrected contact information from the link emailed out.  It will be a big spreadsheet of everyone's contact info, along with parent contact info and what parents can do to help out.

2)  Apply to be a PDC Officer!  We want to vote by the end of this week, so if you have forgotten, please fill out the application.  https://docs.google.com/a/alpinedistrict.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGp6TjBRRDZ0V2RWd1o2YWgtMFZZVnc6MQ#gid=0

3)  Hang out with your PDC friends :)
I know you may not know them yet, but through blood, sweat, and tears or joy, you will become best friends.

-I know some people have pass of all passes and wanted to hang out at Seven Peaks, so send a shout out on FB or in an email!

-Go to the Utah Arts Festival!  I'll be performing with Movement Forum, and there will be performances by Ririe-Woodbury, Repertory Dance Theater, Project Bandalloop (yes, ARIAL dance off the side of a building), etc.  all for FREE!  Talk to Akaysha about when she is going and where to meet.  Info is on FB too.

4)  Going to the RDT High School Workshop?  Talk to Akaysha, Bailey, and Sabrina and their parents.  I know others were planning on going too.  Make sure you register asap and register for the same block of classes so you can get a dance set on all of you!

5)  Will you be here for the Highland Fling Parade?  Contact Whitney.  Whit and Monica and Kenna are in charge of planning the dancing portion of it.  We will need parent help planning the float (truck and music) and anything else.

6)  PDC Dance Camp!!!!  Please pay for this.  It will be available online next week (I am in classes when Lp is open, so I can't get there to set it up).  I hope you are all being healthy and exercising!  You will need running shoes for this!  If you are dying to choreograph for Shakespeare let me know asap, otherwise I think I will invite in guest choreographers.

7)  PDC Retreat?  We could also have a sleepover at someone's house (Mrs. Frampton has volunteered her yard) on the Friday-Saturday, in between the RW workshop that is a part of our dance camp.  I don't know if that date is not good?  We can do another thing as well.  Jennifer Frampton said we can project a movie on the side of her house, and I have all the Step Ups AND Cirque du Soleil "At World's End" which is awesome!!!!

8)  Guest Master Classes!!!
-So, I contacted Cirque to see possibilites of a master class while they are here doing Stadium of Fire.  If I hear anything back from them, I'll let you know.
-Marcus Burglar from Nevada City Ballet said he can do a class and possibly choreo while he is passing through Utah in June.
-Diane Rawlingson, from InterPLAY in Chicago, and a high school teacher (who will also be at the National High School Dance Festival in Miami with her students), has volunteered to teach some free master classes and help with stuff, such as choreography suggestions, etc.  She does great team-building and getting comfortable with improvisation stuff!!!  She will be here the end of July for a week.  Please let me know what days and times of day are best for classes.  This is a great experience I want all the dancers to partake in if possible.
-I've contacted Caine Keenan about possibly setting choreo, but it would be at the dance camp or after school has started.

Anyways,
I need to work on my own school work and stuff here.  Busy in the summer still!
Hope all is well.

Please be in touch with each other!  I'll send out a voting roster at the end of the week for officers, then I want to meet with officers asap to start planning.  If you are not an officer, please feel free to email and give your input and ideas to myself and the officers.

Luv ya'll

PDC 2012-2013

This year has been amazing!! Where do I even begin? As a company we have had SO many wonderful opportunities and experiences that have helped us grow both individually and as a team. To start off the year we had our retreat which brought all the girls together and made so many friendships. We then had the opportunity of being in the homecoming football game halftime show, which we collaborated with drill team, cheer, and ballroom to make an awesome performance! The next month we attended the Shakespeare festival in cedar city... we competed and took master classes and supported teams from all across Utah! Our winter concert... which was full of student and professional choreography. STATE. Such an awesome experience. We took two dances to be adjudicated. There were incredible classes taught by professional dancers, and scholarship opportunities etc. Some of the team was able to go to Las Vegas and attend cirque du solei performances and visit the bodies exhibit. And to kick of the year we finished it out with our spring concert. This year has taught me so much! Even though difficult at times... so worth it! I love my dance family so much and I will never forget what this year has taught me and how much ive leaned. Love You ALL!
