MIRRORS, MIRRORS ON THE WALLS!
Dancers have been excitedly using this new tool for making corrections to their technique!
We are very thankful to the Gehr family and Muskego High School for their donations to our school, and for the wonderful team of dads who worked tirelessly for more than 12 hours on a Friday & Saturday to load them in and put them up! Thank you, Eddie Struebing, Matt Fricker, Jim Eichholz, and Alan Krug, for sacrificing your family time for our students!
DANCERS AT FOX RIVER CHURCH THIS WEEKEND
If you would like to join us for one of the services, they will be at the Fox River Waukesha Campus on Hwy 164 & Lawnsdale Ave, for services Saturday at 5:00 pm, and Sunday at 9:00 & 10:30 am.
WELCOME, ALEXANDER!
POINTE SHOE DAY!
PROGRESS REPORTS
Our Acts Dance team has been working together over the last year to develop a cohesive curriculum for our classes, so that we can be confident of consistency between teachers, levels, and classes that meet multiple days.
This week and next, instructors will be evaluating Preschool-Level 8 Ballet and all Modern students based on key skills and concepts that will be important for moving to the next class level. Our goal is to give students the information they need to focus in on areas where they need to keep working and allow them to set goals for themselves to work toward over the next couple of weeks. Please partner with us in setting a tone of encouragement and celebration for all the growth and progress that has been made in our students this year!!
DRESS REQUIREMENTS
Each ballet class level is assigned a different leotard. Matching leotards are used so there is no need to purchase costumes later in the year. Ballet students in Preschool through Level 6 must wear their class leotard for every class, in addition to light pink tights and ballet slippers.
Bloch brand ballet slippers is recommended; these can be fitted and purchased at Ballera Dance in Brookfield.
