enjoy the summer

A few things before summer gets under way …

Certificate … For those who don’t already know, I was thrilled to have received my certificate in the mail on Monday!  I had already known that I had passed my exams, but to have this piece of paper in hand makes it even more real.

Take a Break … This is the last week of classes and we have quite a bit of time off before the summer session starts.  I hope you take this opportunity to enjoy everything Montreal has to offer – so many festivals!!!  Every year, I look forward to taking in some music at the jazz festival.  Maybe I’ll see you there?  But in your time off don’t forget to practice everything you’ve learned this past session so you can get right back into it when the summer session begins.  You don’t need a lot of space to practice your spotting or to do a set of the Hundred! You will be practicing at home, right?  :-)

Summer Classes … For this summer session, I will be adding a Pilates intro/refresher on the first day of class.  If you need to be reminded of the basic principles or if you or someone you know want to try Pilates, but are intimidated by jumping in to a group class, this is for YOU!  Be sure you reserve your spot …. only 8 spaces available.  Also, please note that the usual three levels will be combined into two:  Intermediate/Advanced and Beginning/Intermediate.

Stay Connected … A lot of procrastination and a few technical difficulties out of the way, I’ve finally posted Bohemian Rhapsody from our 2010 show on Cadance’s YouTube channel.  

  I will be posting the other numbers eventually, but I had to post my favorite one first (subscribe to the channel to receive notifications)!  Also, if you haven’t started following us on Twitter or Facebook yet, well, what are you waiting for?  You’ll receive class updates, see our photos, see the fun dance- and theatre-related links I post, and more!

Enjoy your summer and I hope to see you in class!  Don’t forget that we’ll be diving right in to show choreography for the Super Show when the fall session begins ….
