Think Spring,
Wow! It's hard to believe that spring and our April show are just around the corner. Costumes have begun to arrive without any problem due to address change. Praise the Lord!
Costumes will be given out at class time in April as soon as they are here. A couple of orders may not arrive until the 2nd week of April.
PLEASE NOTE: Run Through Rehearsals have been moved from Monday nights to the first two Friday nights in April in the multi-purpose room from 5:30-8 p.m. Pre Ballet does not need to come until 6 p.m. All other dancers will need to be there for warm-up at 5:30 p.m.
The reason for the change of plans is that the YMCA has scheduled a class after our 5:30 p.mm. class on Mondays and Friday night was the only night where we had a two hour time slot reserved for classes. Thank you for your understanding.
We continue to progress with choreography. There are still some special dance numbers to teach, a finale dance, a second jazz dance, a trio, a couple of duets and battle dance. AND WE PRESS ON TOWARD THE MARK.
It is our plan to do this show again in December on the weekend of the 15th. And yes, we have reserved the dates already. We have other dance numbers we would like to add to the show.
Sarah and Josh Easter and I have been to the studio storage unit to do a search for props and costume accessories for this show and God is just so amazing. You would have to see the small space, crammed to the top, to understand but i was able to put my hands on everything we needed.
Josh and Sarah Easter, Abbey Nold, Emily Plumage and Ms. Sunny danced In Christ Alone and Shekinah for St. John's Catholic Church the last week of December.
Several of us are looking at the summer intensives in Kansas City, MO, and Jackson, MS.

Merry Christmas,
This time last year we were preparing The Greatest Gift of All for performance. This year we have been doing a lot of dancing for community requests but haven't had much new choreography to learn. That will soon change as we plunge into the dances for "Wardrobe."
Sarah, Josh and I have been comparing notes on various DVD versions, listening to music cds, and pouring over costume books which brings me to COSTUMES. I will be making costume orders out over the next two weeks. If you have not yet paid for costumes, please do so by the December 15th Deadline. I will have some extra costume charges for solo dancers/parts and jazz class. I will try to have statements prepared for those extra costumes by the 15th. IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR COSTUMES BUT ARE BEHIND ON CLASS PAYMENTS FOR THE FALL, I WILL HAVE TO APPLY YOUR RECITAL FEE TO CLASSES & WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ORDER COSTUMES FOR YOUR CHILD.
The Ballet Magnificat Workshop and Performance in Yankton at the end of October was a real highlight of our dance year. The advanced classes were small so there was plenty of room to dance. Not to mention the fun time we had dining out together and shopping.
Abbey Nold, Emily Plumage, sarah Easter, Josh Easter and Ms. Sunny did three dance pieces for the 12 hour Reformation Prayer Network worship at the Capitol Visitor's Center on 11/11/11. . . In Christ Alone, Your Great Name, and Shekinah.
We have a request to repeat these three dances on December 27th at St. John's for a presentation of song, music, dance and drams.
Thanksgiving weekend Josh and Sarah Easter and Ms. Sunny performed Shekinah twice for the SD Women's Prison with much appreciation from the inmates.

Shalom,
“Here we are, here we are, standing in Your Presence, Lord, send the fullness of Your Spirit. Let Your Glory come down.” These are words from the wonderful song, Shekinah, that nine dancers danced to September 11 for the opening of the Kids Alive program at New Life Assembly. We continued to do that dance piece all of September as the opening for the weekly Sunday morning productions.

We continued to do that dance piece all of September as the opening for the weekly Sunday morning productions.
Shekinah proves to be as moving for the dancers and viewers as Your Great Name and we have already been asked to repeat these dances on 11/11/11 for an all day worship in the Captiol Rotunda and for midnight mass at St. John’s Catholic Church on Christmas eve.
Registrations for Hosanna Dance are still low for this time of year. Deadline for late registrations is December 1st. This is to allow costume orders to be placed in December for the April 20th show date.
The transient nature of attendance at the YMCA has affected our classes somewhat. We are trying to maintain the structure, discipline and commitment needed for a private studio ballet program.
The Y has been very gracious to rent us the multi purpose room and the aerobics room when it is available. We have been able to fit our schedule in there fairly painlessly.
Five students, Ms. Sunny, and several adults plan on traveling to Yankton on Friday, October 28th to participate in an all day workshop Saturday with Ballet Magnificat and to see their Sunday performance of Deliver Us and The Arrival. Emily Plumage, Abbey Nold, Mekell Rockwell, Sarah Easter, Josh Easter and Ms. Sunny will be taking classes. Chuck and Marci Easter, Noreen Plumage, Lynde Rockwell and DeAnn Hilmoe plan to see the performance, also.
