Recital, Recital, Recital!!!
The poor Dancers Workshop blog has been abanonded over the last month! I update the blog and plan the recitals so all my energy and focus has been geared toward planning the shows, and the blog got pushed aside. Well, I'm back... and after hours of scheduling - the show assignments and dress rehearsals have been posted to our website!
www.dancersworkshopaustin.com
Click on the "Encore" Tab.
The Newsletter and Helpful Hints links have vital information for every student, so please take time to sit down with all of this information!
Remember, that dress rehearsals are mandatory - so make plans in advance to ensure your dancer is there on time. Dancers Workshop loves producing our annual shows - as this is such a wonderful opportunity for our students. The hard work and dedication (from our parents and dancers) is so very appreciated. We feel confident that the show will create wonderful memories for you and your child.
We could not do this without the dedication of our parents - so thank you in advance for your part in Encore 2010!

Senior Spotlight: Julie
Julie is one of our many Seniors at Dancers Workshop. As a member of VISION's Senior Silver Team, Julie is an incredible example to dancers around her. We will miss Julie's sweet smile after this year is complete. But for now, you can see her around the studio several times a week in her technique classes and during her rehearsal time with Vision.
We have such dynamically differnet dancers - The Senior Spotlight is a great opportunity for us to showcase our seniors with all of their different plans and goals. If you have a little one, the possibilities are endless to how they use their experience as a dancer. We have Seniors that go on to be professional dancers, doctors, teachers, and so much more. The skills and discipline children learn in dance is transferable to any future!

The week of October 26th-30th we are inviting all of our students to dress up in Halloween Costumes.
Please make sure that costumes are age appropriate and not too scary for our younger students. Students should be able to move well enough to fully participate in class. We will have normal technique classes that week, and costuming is optional.
Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!!!
