Dear parents,

Summer is drawing to a close and we are gearing up for ballet classes to start! I have been teaching pre-ballet for the past two years and I assisted in pre-ballet classes at Oregon Ballet Theatre for several years previously. I trained with the School of Oregon Ballet Theatre for 12 years focusing on classical ballet, but I also have experience in jazz, tap, flamenco, modern, character, clogging, African dance, etc. The schedule for this year is as follows:

Pre-Ballet (ages 3-4): Saturday 12:30-1:15pm
Beginning Ballet (ages 4-6): Saturday 1:15-2:15pm

Location: 2243 NW 139th Place
Portland, OR 97229
We have a small studio with mirrors, a wood floor, and a barre.

Tuition: $25/month (or $225 for the full year). Tuition can be paid on the first day of class each month or you can opt to pay it in full on the first day of class this year. Checks should be made out to Grace Newsom.

Term dates: September 14, 2013 - June 14, 2014
Winter Break: December 21 - January 3.
Spring Break: March 23-29.

The culminating recital is tentatively scheduled for June 14, 2014. 

If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact me at gracenews@comcast.net or 503.780.3684. Feel free to pass this information on to anyone who may be interested! 

Thank you,
Grace Newsom

If you can think of anyone who might be interested in joining the beginner class, please help spread the word!  We need to have at least 5 people per or else we'll have to cancel it.  Tell all your friends!

On another note, I have heard from several of you who are interested in a Dance Class for 6-7 year olds, so I will be starting up a class for this age group beginning mid-October.  This class will focus on rhythm, movement and intro to dance basics.  Please help spread the word!  More details coming very soon.

Things to remember for the first day of class:
Tuition is due the first class of each month (make checks payable to Angie Fisher, NOT Junior Cloggers)
Bring clogging shoes and socks
Wear comfortable clothing you can easily move in (jeans not recommended)
Bring a water bottle (there is no drinking fountain)
Video recording device (to record new steps each week for home practice)
Take home T-Shirt order forms
Pay for Clogging Workshop in Vancouver if interested in going on 9/28 (see previous email)

Beginners:
I will have registration forms for you at the first day of class, since the online form is not currently working.  Please carefully read the Junior Clogger policies at http://juniorcloggers.com/Policies.html.

Looking forward to seeing everyone next week!  It's going to be a great year with lots of fun new dances!

Thanks,
-Angie
