Reminder...

Just a reminder that extra practices start tomorrow (Thursday). Please meet in the cafeteria after school.

Also, please let Mrs. Frye know if you would like to be in the front or back row for the talent show dance. Once you are put in a spot, you will have to stay there so we can properly choreograph your dance.

As always, forward me your questions (uofwballerina@hotmail.com).

Thanks,
Alisen

New Dance - March 22

Hi Everyone,

Here is the notes to the dance we learned today. It goes to "The Boogie That Be" by The Black Eyed Peas. We changed the first kick after class. Please kick front instead of right - it is less awkward this way. If you need notes to any other dance, let me know and I will try to help you out. I also have the music so let me know if you need that.

Please remember that you need to let Mrs. Frye know at the next practice if you can attend Tuesdays AND Thursdays beginning next week. Extra practice will be to make sure the talent show dance will be perfect.

As always, if there are any questions, comments or concerns please post a comment here or send me an email.

Keep Dancing,
Alisen

Updates and Homework

Hey Everyone,

There has been a change of plans - the song we are using for the talent show is Rumors by Lindsay Lohan.

Don't forget your homework for March Break - kick step touch, kick step touch, sailor step, sailor step. Make sure you practice this so that we can learn the really difficult wizard step when you get back. We want to be able to add this step into your talent show dance.

Mrs. Frye is gonna work on the talent show number over the break so hopefully we can start learning it soon. Also, thank you to all of you for your patience today while some of us got caught up on the Cha Cha dance. I know my brain is still on vacation from my break.

Pass on the website to anyone who missed today's practice and let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. Enjoy your March Break!

Keep dancing,
Alisen
