Happy New Year!

2010 has finally ended and what a year it was -- so much dancing and two shows only 8 months apart. WE DID IT! But only by the grace of God and I am so grateful for all he has done with the studio, in my life and in the lives of my family. At times when I looked ahead it didn't seem possible but when I looked at Jesus, it did.

I am also thankful to my dance students and their parents. You can't imagine how much you have blessed me with your dance progress and support. We couldn't do it without God but we couldn't do it without you either.

Thanks for all the gifts: Belgian chocolates, a dozen red & white roses, cds, books, jewelry, angels, cookies, lotions, gift card, stickers and hugs.

What's next? Well, we need to get back in shape and begin to work on our technique again. I'm sure no one is more aware of this than the advanced students as they observe their dancing on dvd. A serious dancer always looks for ways to improve.

Some of our dancers are considering attending Ballet Magnificat's summer dance workshop in June/July. It's not too early to get ready by saving money, applying or making travel plans. For those interested in the worship dance track (no training required) from July 9-17, the cost is about $1000 plus cost of travel to Jackson. For information go to http://www.balletmagnificat.com/

We will soon be ordering costumes for Peter Pan. There will be some extra costume fees. I will try to locate the least expensive costumes available that still keep the creative integrity of the show.

We will begin working on choreography in February using music selections from several sources including television, Broadway and movie versions.
