Flashmob rehearsal, dance recital pictures/dvds, and Coastal Dance Rage Fall 2011

FLASHMOB 

Great Glebe Garage Sale is a mere few weeks away! All the classes have begun learning the routine, and it is looking fantastic!

We know that some parents would like to take part in our event, and so we are arranging a special rehearsal just for you! This Friday, from 2:30-3:00pm in the Dance Studio, come learn the routine! If this time does not work for you, please let Kailena Know!  We may ask you to drop in on one of the 5pm or later dance classes throughout the week!

For parents who are not so keen on dancing but would like to participate, we are looking for some designated camera people for the event so we can post it up! Let us know if you can lend a hand.

DANCE RECITAL

DVD order forms can be dropped off any time ($12 per DVD), along with class photo order forms ($15 per class). Money collected for the class photos will go towards our GNAG Dance Fundraiser.

Don’t forget, on the last day of classes (May 30-June 3) we are asking that ALL DANCERS wear their costumes to class for their class photo! 

COASTAL DANCE RAGE FALL 2011 - OCTOBER 1-2

Before our spring session is over for the summer, we would like to organize a group to attend Coastal Dance Rage, a fall dance convention which is taking place here in Ottawa on October 1-2nd. 

What is a dance convention?

• dancers ages 7 and up take part in multiple classes throughout the day
• classes are in a variety of styles, including hip hop, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, tap, etc.
• dancers are divided by age group and dance abilities
• classes are taught by top choreographers in the industry
• each dancer wears a number attached to their clothing. At the end of each hour-long class, choreographers use these numbers to select dancers for scholarships and prizes

Do I as a parent have to attend?

• Parents may observe the classes for a small fee
• If parents unable to attend for the two days, GNAG Dance will travel as a group and dancers will be supervised by volunteer parents and GNAG staff during the event

How Much will it cost to register?

• The price has not been determined yet for the convention, but we are working on an affordable price for our participants. In the past, tuition for the convention has been $200, but we are estimating around $150 (maybe less!) for the weekend

How do I register my dancer?

• GNAG dance will register as a group in June, so if your dancer is interested in attending CDR in Ottawa this October, email Kailena so she can send you more details!

GNAG dance has attended many conventions in the past four years, with many scholarships and awards being presented to our deserving and hard-working participants. Last year in Ottawa, we brought a group of 38 GNAG dancers; it was indeed a weekend to remember.
