W/c 8th February 2010
Hi All,
Just a short newsletter this time round to repeat the dates for your
diary to keep you updated as we go through the term as our watch weeks
will change with the amount of events exams and shows we have coming up
classes will be busy and we will need to keep some surprises back for
the show as you will have seen it all before we even get to it :o)
Fetes & festivals
Classes Grade 1 and above and all jazz classes have all been given a
letter this term to advise of the dates for a few events we have been
asked to take part in if you have been given a letter can you please
return ASAP to be able to take part. Even if you do not wish to take
part can you please return the slip to let me know. I did label all the
letters myself so everyone in the classes above should have received a
copy however if you think you may have missed the letter please let me
know.
Exams
I think I may have approached everyone now but can those taking part in
the exam session on the 7th March please check they have all
the appropriate uniform needed for the day and advise me straight away
if there is anything you need.
Feedback questionnaires
A big thank you for all those that took the time to complete the
questionnaires I just wanted to clear up/address some of the points and
query’s made.
There was mixed feelings on the subject of exams so I think the best way
to proceed is to continue to study for the exams and will continue to
offer them if when students are ready the sessions are supported. I
cannot continue to book exam sessions if there are not enough to take
part as the association will only allow a school to hold them in their
own venues if there is a full session of students or we will have to
join with another school to take the exam.
Elsenham classes will remain at Elsenham with the same timetable as we
currently have.
Those that were interested in adult tap classes there is a class that
runs on a Monday at Newport village hall at 6.30 – 7.15. This isn’t a
beginner’s class but if you wanted to attend and work at your own pace
this is possible and should there be enough interest I can look at
starting a beginner’s class.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Faye on her new job which we are lucky enough fits
around her Monday commitments with us. Faye now works with Apex
multisports in there dance department taking dance into schools,
colleges and universities in and around Hertfordshire.
Faye also continues to update her skills at
North London dance studios bringing even more experience and knowledge
to the school.
I hope this covers everything for this term please find below an updated
dates table which will also be updated on our website across the next
couple of weeks
Thanks
