Thank you to each and every dancer. You worked with dedication and danced with passion. Your performance was wonderful! Putting together a production like this is an exhilarating experience. From the early planning stages to the final curtain - we love it all, and we love you all!

As the dance year draws to a close, I thought I would ‘tidy up’ the home page and fill you all in on some ‘housekeeping’ issues. The Lost and Found bin is ‘exploding’! Please take a quick look during this last week of class - we simply do not have room to accommodate these lost items. They will be donated to the Salvation Army after we close on Saturday May 30th. If you have not registered for next year and are planning on dancing PLEASE print your registration form and mail in asap. Once you are registered, you will receive an invoice for tuition for the upcoming year, a calender for 09/10 and an OFFICIAL RECEIPT FOR 2009. Summer School will begin at 9am on July 6th. If you are unsure of the schedule (or have any questions regarding next year) - check the notice board or call Dulcie (250) 7010203. DVD’s of the show will be available to pick up July 6th - 10th in the Green Room. Enjoy the sun!

The T. Gil Bunch Centre for the Performing Arts was alive with energy and action on Saturday January 10^th when BarreNone Dance, Carlson’s School of Dance and Steps Ahead Dance got together to workshop and perform. Sixty students studied ballet and Musical Theatre during the day with expert teachers Ivana Ho and Donna Wilkins. In the evening the dressing rooms were filled with excited performers as they made preparations for the second gathering of this kind. After all expenses were covered the event raised $710 to go toward the final payment of the dance floor at the theatre. ($190 left owing!) Dancers from BarreNone and Steps Ahead will be grateful that they can dance on this professional surface later in the spring at their annual dance shows. Many thanks go to all those who supported the event – we look forward to another similar event in the future.

We at Steps Ahead are very proud of our male dancers. The boys seems to be able to start dance at almost any age. They appear to catch up to the girls with ease and these boys display strength, artistry and a great sense of rhythm! We are looking forward to seeing them on the T. Gil Bunch stage soon!

Do you know any boys that wanna dance? Share our website with them today!

RAD BALLET EXAMS - FALL SESSION
DECEMBER 3rd (Wed) AND 4th (Thur)
Schedule to follow

Comments Off

September is traditionally the month of ‘firsts’ and Saturday 13th was most certainly that at Steps Ahead! Many new little faces arrived in pink suits to be met by music, a huge studio, new friends, Miss Chantelle their teacher and her helper Jane. Even Miss Lorraine got in on the action last week!  Marching, running, bouncing and skipping were enjoyed by all!

The senior students returned to some hard work - getting back into shape after the long lazy summer months. Many ballet students scrambled to remember the work taught at summer school as we prepare for ballet exams expected late November/early December.

We hope your student had a positive first week (or two) back at dance!
