October Newsletter
Quote of the month:
“When I miss class for one day, I know it. When I miss class for two days, my teacher knows it. When I miss class for three days, the audience knows it.” – Rudolf Nureyev
Happy Fall, Master Ballet Academy families! October is finally bringing a bit of cooler weather to Phoenix, and with it, our Nutcracker season is starting. We held our auditions in the last weekend of September, and we’ve seen lots of wonderful dancers eager to be part of our show. The preliminary cast was announced on the last day of September, and we have our first rehearsals scheduled on Friday, October 8th. Hope everyone is excited. Please plan on attending the cast meeting for important information about the production and to sign up as volunteers. Thank you to the parents who already signed up. The production would not be possible without all of you.
October is also Michael Jackson month. In his honor, Nikkia is teaching Thriller to her hip-hop students. Hope you all have fun with that! Anyone want to join them? Just sign up for his month. It is a great way to celebrate Halloween, too.
Speaking of Halloween, on Saturday, October 30th, we invite all students to dress up for class. Of course, you should still consider that you'll need to dance in your costume, and you'll need to wear your dance shoes, but other than that, you can be as creative as you'd like. Best costume in each class will win a small prize.
Studio Announcements:
Unfortunately Zumba will no longer be available on Wednesday nights. You can still get a good workout with Tony on Saturdays, regular times.
If you are interested in competing for Master Ballet Academy, please sign up at the front desk, so Mr. and Mrs. Wozniak can meet with you and set a schedule for you. We are currently getting ready for Youth America Grand Prix ballet competition and The World Ballet Competition.
