Term 4 Newsletter 2004
Hello Everyone
Congratulations:
Congratulations to you all on another marvellous show. I am very proud
of all the students who all performed beautifully and really rose to the
occasion. I have been overwhelmed by positive comments about you all.
Well done!
Thank You:
I would like to extend a very big thank you to all my wonderful team of
helpers. You all really help take the pressure off me and make my job
achievable. Everything ran very smoothly due to your efforts and generosity.
I really appreciate you all very much.
Congratulations to Pianist
- Mi Jin Park:
One of our extremely talented pianists, Mi Jin Park, has been accepted
for the music performance degree at Auckland University commencing 2005.
This is a particularly big achievement as Mi Jin will go straight to University
from year 12 at college - a year early! On behalf of all the students
and families I would like to extend our congratulations to Mi Jin.
End Of Year Sharing Sessions

During the last week of term, students that normally attend classes on
the same day combine and demonstrate work covered this year. Certificates
and reports will be presented to all the students. Family and friends
are warmly invited to attend and support the students. Students are asked
to come tidily dressed in suitable dance attire with long hair tied back
neatly (Level 5 and up in ballet bun please).

Family Picnic:
The end of the year is looming already and I have decided to organise
another family picnic this year. Last year's picnic was so much fun and
the students loved having the chance to socialise together. I would like
to invite all the dance students and their families to join us for a day
of fun in the sun.
When: Sunday 5th December
from 11.30am
Where: Long Bay Beach Picnic Site # 1 (Southern end just before restaurant).
We'll Provide: Sausages, bread and soft drinks. BYO all other food and
drink requirements.

RSVP: By Thursday 2nd December.
If it looks like rain ring 473 7665 for cancellation.
Re enrolments for 2005:
Please see the 2005 timetable on the other side of this notice. I am planning
to offer Contemporary Dance and Jazz/ Hip Hop). I have decided not to
run classes on Friday afternoons any more as this seems an inconvenient
day for many of you. I have arranged to hire the Senior Citizens Hall
(located next door but one beside the Tennis club) as well as our normal
hall on a couple of afternoons so we will be able to have classes running
simultaneously. The Senior Citizens Hall is a very nice space with a good
wooden floor and will be ideal for dance.
Saturday Classes:
I have decided to run the second Level 1 Ballet class on Saturday mornings
next year. Contemporary dance classes will move to Saturday mornings too
and there will also be an open ballet class provided for keen ballet students
working at Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced ballet levels.
Pre Enrolments for 2005:
Later in the term I will display sheets where you can pre enrol for 2005
classes. You will not need to pay fees till next year but this will ensure
a space is held for you.
Christmas Wishes:
On behalf of all the tutors and accompanists I would like to extend our
very best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We all look forward to seeing you back dancing in 2005.
