Think Spring!

Cinderella is behind us and what an experience it was. I think it drained us all and left us needing a week off. We had not planned for that, so we were at the studio doing classes for the few who showed up.

I am very proud of the Hosanna Dancers and all the hard work they did getting ready for Cinderella. When asked to put some acting into their parts, they rose to occasion with great facial expressions and pantomime. It was definitely dance theater and the audience loved it.

We had thought our spring, end of the year, in-house performances would be some of the dances from Cinderella but the Lord made it real clear to me that He wants another worship dance performance. He began giving me songs to use the very next day. Save the date: June 1!

Gracie Zeeb will be examining in Sioux Falls for Cecchetti Grade IV this spring. Gracie has been working on this grade since the spring of last year and her technique definitely shows it.

The Cecchetti Intensive in June will be earlier: June 8-9. Cecchetti examinations will be held prior to the intensive and notification has to be given by April 1 for those who are approved. We currently have two preparing for June exams and one for the coming fall.

Pas de deux class has ended until fall. This class has helped our upper-level dancers learn some of the basics of partnering as well as strengthen their pointe work. We hope to also offer a variations class in the fall.

Two pre-pointe students have been approved for beginning pointe. They are Sheridan and Bellah Nickolas. This will require appointments at Dance line in Sioux Falls on a Saturday. Ms. Sarah and/or Ms. Sunny will accompany the girls for their fittings.

The theme for the Summer Dance Camps will be Frozen on the weeks of July 8-11 and July 15-18. 

Nutcracker classes and practices will begin Tuesday nights in August for Ballet V  dancers and we will also begin Nutcracker casting in August!
Nutcracker performances will be during the after Thanksgiving weekend.

Fall classes will begin the first Tuesday after Labor Day. Look for the summer and fall schedule on our website. Please call 605-945-1044 or 605-220-1032 for information and registration forms or visit the website.

New students: It's March and we are currently taking new student registrations for the last quarter. If you or your student would like to learn ballet, come join the Hosanna Dance family! Sign up for classes this week! Registration closes soon. Contact us today!   Go to the classes tab to see the schedule and more.

Coming soon!
Ballet for Skaters class for ages 8+ on Wednesday from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

    Beginning Ballet for Skaters -- Ages 8-12, Ages 13+
Class wear
    Solid color leotard

    Pink or tan tights

    Ballet shoes, canvas or leather

Possible future class -- Young Skaters PreBallet/Movement class for Ages 5-7, 45-minute class

Dates to remember (also see the calendar for dates and times)

⇒Dress rehearsal for everyone at the studio: Tuesday, May 28 from 5:30-8:00

⇒End of year showcase: June 1 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Class attendance is extremely important. Make sure you add all classes and all dates for rehearsals, pictures, etc., to your calendar. Ballet class must not be viewed as choreography or just another style of dance but as your fundamental training for executing movement correctly and safely which takes consistent work in class.

We Encourage All Our Students to Prepare for Cecchetti Examinations This is such an excellent way for students to become technically proficient and thoroughly learn the terminology of ballet. There is something about preparing for an exam that makes students work harder and helps them develop as dancers. And bonus, you get a certificate as a memory of all the hard work, study, and effort.

If you or your student are interested in getting started with Cecchetti student examinations let us know. Ballet III and up are eligible to start working on Grade 1. Examinations take a lot of preparation, study, and commitment. (Normally 1-2 years is spent studying per grade. More as you progress through the grades.) Our studio is affiliated with the Cecchetti Council of America. We added the Cecchetti syllabus to our classes 6 years ago. All teachers are professionally examined by the CCA to hold certificates in the Cecchetti Method grades.

A Cecchetti Grade IV class is being taught on Thursday nights from 5:30-7:00 pm. A Cecchetti Grade III class is being taught on Tuesdays from 5:15-6:30pm. Even if you are not interested in doing exams, attending these classes is an excellent way for ballet IV/V to get another ballet class in and work hard on perfecting technique and getting more one on one corrections.

I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 b

A Happy Belated New Year!

Here we are already a month into the New Year and we haven’t brought you up to date on our spring plans. We are doing our spring performances in the studio on our in-house stage. This is another exciting new experience for us and one of the reasons we relocated to the new space.

As some of you know, we have struggled every spring finding a date early enough for our missions bound students and when Riggs Theater is available - a near impossibility. This fact definitely affected our casting for Esther last spring.

We have some work to do on the stage area to prepare the surface and need to add some lighting but will gear our performance to be simpler than the lavish one we do for our dance theater performances at Riggs Theater.

We plan to do a performance entirely of worship dances. This performance has been on our bucket list for a while and should fit perfectly on our studio stage. The bonus will be having worship dances available for any church or concert that want us over the summer.

We have not yet picked our next winter show but it will once again be a dance theater performance at Riggs Theater. We are currently researching possibilities including Cinderella. We were very pleased with the response to our “Greatest Gift of All” performances in January. They were very well received with bigger audiences than in the past in spite of a cold weekend.

Todd Thompson graced us with his beautiful photography during dress rehearsal and we will be preparing a display of his photos soon. Our faithful videographer came out of retirement to give us very good video of the matinee performance. A showing was held for Ballet IV and V on January 20th at the Hilmoe’s home and refreshments were served.

We offer Cecchetti syllabus classes for those interested in progressing as a dancer and who take more than one ballet class a week. We have a Grade IV class going and would like to have a Grade I class for those that would like to get started with Cecchetti examinations or would like to work on perfecting their technique. So please sign up! Ask Gracie Zeeb and Becca Brusven about how Cecchetti has helped them become better dancers!

We encourage all our students to try Cecchetti examinations!
This is such an excellent way for students to become technically proficient and learn the theory and terminology of ballet. There is something about preparing for an exam that makes students work harder and helps them progress as dancers.

Ms Sunny, Josh, and Sarah will be attending the Cecchetti Intensive June 17-21 at Dance Gallery in Sioux Falls. Parents, we will let you know when registration opens. When information and brochure are available they can be found by going online to www.dancegallerysd.com/workshops.
We usually rent a couple rooms at Home 2 Suites and split the cost. Tuition to the workshop is very reasonable.

We have added a few new classes since the show. A Cecchetti Grade IV class is being offered Monday nights at 5:30 pm. On Tuesday night is a Variations class at 5:30pm. Adult Ballet is being offered Thursday night at 7pm and Adult/Youth Line Dance at 7pm Friday night. On Saturday at 10 am a Strength & Conditioning class. In order to attend the Friday or Saturday classes please contact us in advance to register.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!  — Phil 4:4

Happy New Year!

We are still basking in the afterglow of two successful performances of "A Snow White Christmas" but have already begun preparing our minds for "Esther." We did this show six years ago (Spring 2010) but are planning on doing an entirely new version this time around. The Esther we did in 2010 had eight guys in it, but only one male dancer. We only have two older male dancers right now and had to call on Brad Bruns to do a major role in the December show of Snow White. Brad stepped in as he has in previous shows and did a fine job of portraying the Hunter in Snow White. I think he even surprised himself as he did some dance movement and partnering. Way to go, Brad! If anyone has a brother, father, or husband who is good at acting, we will have the following roles available: priest, scribe, assassin, Esther's friend, and two royal guards. I used the holiday break to finally get extra costumes and props put away from the December show, the costume closets reorganized, Christmas decorations put away, studio cleaned, and a new display done for "A Snow White Christmas." My wonderful assistants, Josh and Sarah, traveled to Florida with their parents to see relatives. That meant I got to teach their classes Thursday, December 22nd. I especially enjoyed teaching a jazz and tap class. The entire month of December was a relaxing month for Josh, Sarah, and I as we taught classes to Christmas music and some dances from the past. It was fun for everyone, teachers and students alike. Ms. Sunny, Ms. Sarah, and Mr. Josh will be traveling to Sioux Falls on January 6 to take students to pointe shoe fittings and to see Dance Gallery's performance of Coppelia on Saturday, January 7. Dancers traveling to Sioux Falls to get their first pair of pointe shoes are Mackenzie Sarratt, Gracie Zeeb, Jessica Saunders, and Olivia Chase. Make sure you take a look at the calendar. Several new students will be joining classes in January in every level except Ballet V. We will begin choreography in January and also resume Cecchetti technique studies in preparation for March and June exams. (Hosanna Dance is the only school in Pierre that offers this method that encourages students to be nationally examined. For more information on this method of ballet instruction, click here for the Cecchetti Council of America national website.)

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.

Hosanna in the highest! Wherever the King is, there is the kingdom...

This had to be the busiest October Hosanna dance has ever seen with two dance workshops, Cecchetti exams for teachers and students, and pointe shoe fittings in Sioux Falls for 5 beginning pointe students.

It has been extremely difficult to focus on choreography for Frozen and we have only a little over 2 months until performances. A few dances are completed for the lower levels but our advanced dances are not.

It will be extremely important for parents to make sure their dancers make it to their classes. With the holiday season upon us, I know that it will be a challenge.

Costumes are ordered but many are not paid for. Please check the costume list at the studio to see if you need to pay for a costume. I will not be able to hand out costumes to students whose costumes are not paid for.

I am pleased to announce that our student numbers have increased significantly this year. Logan of Pumba fame has returned to do the role of Olaf.

Ms. Sunny passed a very difficult Cecchetti grade V teacher's exam October 16. Josh and Sarah Easter passed their Cecchetti grade 1 teacher's exams and Sarah Nold passed her grade 1 student exam.

Students attending all or part of the Cecchetti Fall Intensive October 17 & 18 at Dance Gallery in Sioux Falls were Kat Bruns, Sarah Nold, McKayla Gunderson, Deni Zeeb, and Ashlynn Geuther.

Students who got fitted for their first pair of pointe shoes this fall at Dance Line in Sioux Falls were Savannah Shrake, McKayla Gunderson, Deni Zeeb, Ashlynn Geuther, and Jessica Hays. Thanks Ms. Sarah for getting these girls ready for pointe.

Hosanna Dancers who attended the Dance Network SD workshop October 2-4 in Pierre were Josh and Sarah Easter, Becca Brusven and McKayla Gunderson.

Welcome to the 2015-2016 dance season

             Did I say 2016?

We pour so much activity into the 3 months of summer that June seems like an eternity ago. And I am as guilty as everyone else though I always take time for God and dance. 

Studio News

Hosanna Dance did offer a few dance classes this summer. In June we had two weeks of Cecchetti Classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights. In July, we offered 3 weeks of conditioning, stretch, and modern classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

We had not planned to do classes in August because I wanted to have the studio floors redone. But we ended up continuing a conditioning class in Essential Body Alignment System (EBAS) and Cecchetti Grade V classes.

About 10 students took summer classes, including Emily Plumage who was preparing to leave for the University of Utah and will continue dancing there.

Finally, on Thursday, August 27th, Wood Works began sanding the studio floors promising to have the studio ready for us to start classes on September 1st.

Workshops & Continuing Education

Sarah and Josh Easter, Kat Bruns, and Eleanor Moleterno attended the Cecchetti Intensive at Dance Gallery in Sioux Falls at the end of June with Ms. Sunny. At the end of the week, Sarah was excited to finally exam in Grade III after all her recovery efforts over the last couple of years.

Emily Plumage examined in Grade V in June and passed commend which is a very good rating. Miss Sunny is preparing to take an exam for Teacher's Grade V in October and Josh and Sarah Easter are preparing to take their exam for Teacher's Grade 1. We have traveled to Sioux Falls for coaching in these levels.

Ms Sunny and Ms Sarah drove 1900 miles round-trip to Holland, MI, for a week of classes and theory in all Cecchetti grades at the Cecchetti International Teacher Seminar Course July 5-11. We survived the demanding schedule and getting lost on a hiking trip to Lake Michigan. Sarah would say we were never lost because she had her GPS but I had my doubts at times.

Casting

We are not quite ready to cast the two leading females in Frozen: Beware the Frozen Heart until after the first week of classes. Ms Sunny has a pretty good idea of who they will be but she is waiting for all the registrations to come in and to look at potential dancers for commitment and attitude.

Happy New Year!

What a great ending to a great year! Thanks to everyone who made The Greatest Gift of All a huge success but most of all thanks to the Lord whose hand was all over it. I didn’t think our shows could get any better than He Lives in You: Lion King but they just keep exceeding wildest expectations. Even more rewarding is seeing young dancers who just keep improving.

Thank you for all your gifts in December!

We have already begun planning The Deliverer: Prince of Egypt and will soon be posting costume fees which will be due by February 1^st. This show will follow the theme of Prince of Egypt so there won’t be so many variety dances as there were in our Nutcracker. We did this show in 2007 with a focus on the story of the Jewish people. This will be an entirely new production but it does tell the same story.

We have been blessed over the Christmas break with tango classes taught by Alex Plumage and will begin Shotokan Karate classes January 14th taught by Richard Hathaway that will continue twice a week for the rest of the year. They are 2-hour classes Wednesday and Friday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. for age 10-adult. SPACE IS STILL AVAILABLE IN THIS CLASS.

We will once again be offering summer Cecchetti classes in June for students planning to exam during the week of the Cecchetti Summer Intensive June 22-27.

Ms. Sunny is planning to attend the Cecchetti Intensive at Dance Gallery in late June (dates TBA) and the teacher’s seminar at the Cecchetti International Summer School July 5-11 in Holland, MI, and is hoping that some advanced students will join her ☺.

We plan to offer summer modern and ballet for dancers wishing to stay in dance shape and will post a schedule in May for summer classes. We are also hoping to offer some summer dance camps for preschool and kindergarten children. These would be two-week sessions of one hour a week.

Two down and one to go, workshops that is.  We enjoyed a wonderful weekend of dance with Ballet Magnificat in Sioux Falls October 10, 11 & 12 and the following weekend, five Hosanna dancers and Ms. Sunny all passed their Cecchetti exams with a “pass commend.”  We will be traveling to Mitchell the weekend of October 24 & 25^th for the Dance Network of South Dakota classes.

Most of the dances for the December performance of Greatest Gift of All are needing completion and need a lot of practice.  Because of that we are not starting run through rehearsals until Monday, November 17^th, from 6 to 8 p.m.  This will still give us 3 run through practices and the dress rehearsal to pull the show together. 

Remember all your costumes need to be paid for and class fees paid up to date, before you can take costumes home.  Costumes will be handed out at regular class times as soon as they all have arrived.  The requested arrival date is November 21^st so costumes will be given out that week.

We will begin working on our June performance of Prince of Egypt (The Deliverer) in January.  The first week of January we will take registrations for the second half year.  This would be a good time for children to sign up who missed the fall signup.  No registrations will be taken after January 30 until July 1^st.

We will once again be offering summer Cecchetti classes in June for students planning to take exams during the week of the Cecchetti Summer Intensive June 22 -27^th.

  

Ms. Sunny is planning to attend the teacher’s seminar at the Cecchetti International Summer School July 5 -11 in Holland. Michigan, and the Ballet Magnificat Teachers Workshop July 11-18 in Jackson, Mississippi.

   

The Easters may be offering some summer dance classes both modern and ballet for dancers wishing to stay in  dance shape over the summer.  That schedule has not yet been set.

  

We are also hoping to offer some summer dance camps for preschool and kindergarten children.  These would be two week sessions of one hour a week.
