Remember, have everything you need with you. Treat this like a performance. Have your hair in a proper ballet bun (no messy buns, ponytails, or side tendrils). Very short hair needs to be pinned back. Have all your costumes, tights, shoes, and accessories with you. To stay organized try keeping all your things in a small laundry basket. Keep the dressing rooms organized by not scattering your things everywhere.

Greetings, Hosanna Dancers & Parents!
We would like to go on record to say two months is not enough time to get a children's storybook ballet ready. Consequently, we will not be able to start run-through rehearsals until Monday, November 21. Please check the calendar for important information.
Another important date change is the date of our spring show. Riggs Theatre has informed us that they are not letting anyone book the theater in May. They are closing it for maintenance. This has forced us to schedule our performance of Esther for June 9 & 10, 2017. Dress rehearsal will be June 9 and there will be two performances on June 10.
Josh Easter, Sarah Easter, and Ms. Sunny have been to two dance workshops in October: the Dance Network of South Dakota Convention in Rapid City on October 7 & 8, and the Northern Plains Cecchetti Council Fall Workshop in Sioux Falls on October 21-23.
Hosanna Dance students Becca Brusven and Rae McVey attended the Rapid City workshops where they got to take classes from Repertory Dance Theater Company from Salt Lake City. This excellent modern dance company taught classes in modern, jazz, ballet, and hip hop.
Deni and Gracie Zeeb and Rae McVey were the Hosanna Dancers attending the Sioux Falls workshop with Ms. Sunny, Ms Sarah and Mr Josh. Ballet classes were taught in the first six grades of Cecchetti Technique, jazz, modern, musical theater, hip hop, lyrical, clogging, pointe, and theraband.
Three Hosanna Dance students are preparing to take their Cecchetti Grade II exam in March. They are Deni Zeeb, Gracie Zeeb, and Becca Brusven.
Josh and Sarah Easter are preparing to take their Cecchetti Grade IV Teacher's exam some time in 2017 and Ms. Sunny is planning to take her Cecchetti Grade VI teacher's exam also some time in 2017.

It's time to Dance!
So it says in Ecclesiastes 3:4 and as the summer heat gives way to cool air of fall, it's time to get back in ballet class and get in shape for the winter show, A Snow White Christmas, December 2nd & 3rd.
Some Hosanna Dancers never stopped dancing this summer. The studio offered two dance classes a week for two weeks in June, July, and August and threw in a couple of bonus weeks for serious dancers. Thursday night ballet classes were taught by Ms. Sunny and Thursday night Worship Dance classes were taught by Mr. Josh and Ms. Sarah. Dancers who attended learned "In Christ Alone," "Your Great Name," and "Not Forgotten." By the time this newsletter is published, we will have performed these dances for the residents at Golden Living Center on September 4th.
June 19-23, Ms. Sunny, Josh and Sarah Easter, and Deni Zeeb attended the Dance Gallery Cecchetti Ballet Intensive in Sioux Falls. The Easters took their Cecchetti Teacher's Grade III on June 23rd.
On July 16, Ms. Sunny, Josh and Sarah Easter drove to Holland, MI for the Cecchetti International Teachers Seminar July 17-23 for a week of classes and theory in all grades. We had a great time traveling and while in Holland. Josh got to room with a dance teacher from England and we all watched some really good pas de deux and men's classes. After watching the student performance on the 23rd, we hit the road to return home and had the good fortune to see the Blue Angels do flyovers when we drove through Sioux Falls.
Ms. Sunny returned to Sioux Falls August 18 & 19 for a coaching session in Cecchetti Grade VI for which she will be examing in spring.
Josh, Sarah and Ms. Sunny are planning to attend the Dance Network of South Dakota annual workshop on October 6, 7 7 8 in Rapid City and the Dance Gallery Fall Cecchetti Workshop in Sioux Falls October 21, 22 & 23. Any dancers interested in doing either of these workshops should let us know the first week of classes.
We are beginning to cast A Snow White Christmas but will not be able to complete and confirm casting as registrations are still coming in.

Sarah and Josh will be doing their Grade II Teacher exams. Ms. Sunny is now working on Cecchetti Grade VI and teaching Grade VI pointe to the intermediate and advanced pointe dancers.
Choreography begins!
We have begun practicing Frozen dances from the January show and are teaching three new dances. Beginning Pointe and Pre-Pointe are learning a new dance and so are Intermediate/Advanced Pointe. Plans are to teach another dance for the guys. It is really important that you make it to your classes not just to learn your dances, but to also work on your technique so you can grow and learn.
So come to classes:
- learn your dances so you know what you are doing
- work on your technique so you look good and know how to dance
- learn your dances so you know what you are doing
- work on your technique so you look good and know how to dance

Please let Ms. Sunny know if you want to attend the Summer Intensive in Sioux Falls. This is a wonderful in-state opportunity and I would encourage Ballet IV and V to seriously think about going.

Sarah and Josh will be preparing for Teacher's Grade II. Ms Sunny will be working on Grade VI but won't exam in that level for another year due to the level of difficulty.
