Update to our students from Pamela:
Who needs January 1st? The start of the new
year, for me, has always been the start of the
teaching and performance season. This
upcoming season (September 2010 - August
2011) marks the Dance Workshop's 26th
year. It is not only the beginning of a second
quarter of a century of teaching and
performance in Davis and Northern California,
but it's also the beginning of a new decade!
You may notice some changes to the
schedule as we go into the next few weeks.
We like to fine tunes things as we go, to make
the schedule a better fit for both our students
and our teachers. Times for the Thursday
ballet classes for children and pre-teens have
changed a bit as I realized it was a tight fit for
getting out of school and getting to the studio.
Beginning II will start a half hour later, at 4:30,
and Beginning III will start at 5:30pm. There
will be other changes as we go along... You
might notice that whenever I change the
schedule, I update the change date in red.
Dancing is our passion, but this faculty keeps
drama on the stage and out of the studio. You
should expect high standards: from simple
things like understanding the subtle discipline
of appropriate dress codes to the more
complex aspects of our teachers' abilities to
give good corrections, feedback, and positive
reinforcement, while helping students build
strong technique, in addition to offering select
performance opportunities, for those students
who want to take their training to the world
outside the studio.
Joining me are:
Denise Fladager (Ballet)
Lori Babington (Musical Theatre & Tap,)
Sasha Hao (Dance Team & Hip Hop,)
Heather Wysong (Ballet)
Quang Tan Le (Breakdancing)
Juliette Arroyo (Bellydance)
Simone Aldredge (Hip Hop & Dance Team)
Rebecca Talon (Hip Hop & Dance Team)
Teacher bios have been updated and many
have interviews attached. You'll find this
year's faculty to be highly trained in their
respective fields, and while I am mentoring
two teachers, (both of whom have training,
performance and teaching experience, but
are simply younger,) the rest have serious
and significant professional training. All are
dedicated to the teaching of dance.
As for additional performance opportunities...
Check out the new pages on the companies!
Here's to the best year to date!
