A professional DVD will once again be taken and can be ordered in January 2011 for R85 per DVD. Please order from your teacher by the middle of February 2011 at the latest if you would like a copy.
ROYAL ACADEMY OF DANCE INTERNATIONAL GENEE COMPETITION:
For the first time ever this exciting competition will be held in South Africa (Cape Town) in October 2011. All the dance fraternities and schools throughout South Africa have been asked to do fund raising and outreach programs to help fund this event. To get sponsors the teachers will be doing various outreach programs in the townships.
As a studio to show our enthusiasm, we have decided to hold a ‘coloring in competition.’ We would like each child purchase a picture/s of their choice from us, to color in/paint/pastel for R5 per entry. The pictures will be used to decorate our studio for the last term. Winners will be chosen by an outside judge and announced at our concert. All proceeds will help to ensure that South Africa hosts a wonderful competition.
Cathy will be away examining from the 22nd of October to the 10th of November. Candice will be teaching the classes in her absence.
Yours in Dance
Michel and Cathy
