Attention all dancers:
Summer dance classes will include Tuesday night Cecchetti Classes for anyone planning to exmine in Cecchetti in the Fall. Thursday night will be a special Worship Dance Choreography class. It is also open to college students. Plans are to form a worship dance team from participants in the class. Call Ms. Sunny at 945-1044 or message her on Facebook if you have questions.
A registration form for Summer Classes will be available at the studio. Summer students will need to purchase a punch card which can be shared with another student or family member. The punch cards are $79.95 and they are good for seven 1.5 hr classes.
Classes are arranged in 2 week sessions: June 7-16, July 5-13, and August 2-12. There are 12 classes in all but students can pick and choose their classes.
Thanks Skating Club
Thanks Central South Dakota Skating Club for the plug for our upcoming spring performance of "Frozen Revisited," scheduled for two performances Saturday, May 28, at 3pm and 7pm. Congratulations to Coach Clare on a fantastic performance of Happy Days by all her skaters, including McKayla Gunderson, Dadra Scott, and Rae and Walter McVey. Kudos!!!
Cecchetti Exams
Dancers traveling to Sioux Falls for exams Saturday, March 17, are Becca Brusven (GR 1), Makenzie Sarratt (GR 1), Sarah Nold (GR 2), Israel Kanz (GR 2), Josh Easter, and Sarah Easter. 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
Summer Dance Opportunities
Plans are to attend the Cecchetti Intensive Week at Dance Gallery in Sioux Falls June 19-23 and possibly the Cecchetti International Teachers Seminar July 17-23. 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. You can sign up online at dancegallerysd.com.
Registration for Fall classes begins July 1st. Early Bird Discount 5% for first month's classes if paid by August 1st.

We will also be working hard on our Cecchetti classes from January to March to get ready for exams at Dance Gallery of SD in Sioux Falls. There are three students getting ready for Grade I and three getting ready for Grade II. If you are interested in exams please talk to Ms Sunny.
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.
