4 CLASS NOTES Senior Line (Monday 8:00 9:00 / Thursday 7:00-8:00) Where did this year go?...it seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye, but we re left with wonderful memories of a fun year. Performances, (how many times can you do the Michael Jackson mix in 1 year!!!), parades, master classes, - all good times. And now we move on to our biggest event of the year..recital 2009 we know you will make us proud (as always!) Good luck to our graduating Senior Line dancers Jordan and Alyssa. Keep your love for dance in your hearts always. Junior Company (Tuesday 6:00 7:00) These young ladies sure have grown up into beautiful dancers. Each week they work hard to challenge themselves to learn new dance skills. They have filled the room with smiles and laughs all year long and will surely Pop at this year s recital. Pirouette (Wednesday 4:00 5:00) What a fun year it was. It flew by like.. Grease Lightening These dancers have worked so hard this year. Always ready and with a smile, they are full of energy and enthusiasm. They cannot wait to perform in this year s recital at the beautiful Palace Theatre. Pique 1 (Friday 3:15 4:00) Well, it s the end of the year and these 14 beautiful dancers are ready to hit the stage. I am sure you will agree that Daddy s Little Girl can really dance in her Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini Chorus Company 1 (Friday 7:00 8:00) With the Recital just around the corner, the anticipation and excitement keeps growing and growing for these girls. We have been working on perfecting our dances while still improving on technique. These girls know how to have a great time in class but always know when it s time to work. The energy levels are higher than ever. We are ready for the stage. Ballet 3 (Saturday 1:00 2:00) As usual, this class never ceases to amaze me. With most of the class coming two days a week for ballet, they have worked hard on refining their technique, grace and understanding of the art form. Working on stretch and strengthening has really paid off with their ability to execute harder movement and their relentless determination to push themselves to new levels. They surely will Dream On about where their achievements will bring them after the recital.
