Great 1st week!!

Yeah!! A great first week to our dance year. All classes are working on a simple fun performance for Snowcrest Junior High Fall Festival that will be held toward the end of October. I will let you know more once I am made aware of the details. I have copies of the enrollment form at the studio if you still need to fill one out. Also, last week, the director of Utah Dance Fest informed me they were canceling the workshop for this Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances :/ She felt so bad and I was soooo disappointed. So, for all those that had signed up, so sorry. We will definitely be doing some workshops next year. She was nice and mailed a small gift to all those who had signed up. I will get those to you this week. Keep working hard at home on the things that you learned this week. See you soon!

DancElation Studio 2015-16

The New Studio Space is about 100% in functioning mode. The cosmetics will come slowly but surely. Excited for this new space and new dance season. Please invite friends/neighbors who might be interested in dance to check out my blog or my new facebook page-DancElation. I had a flyer at Valley Market and Valley Elementary but "mysteriously" they have both disappeared as of Friday:/ Anyways, there are still openings and a great dance year ahead of us. I will be listing class days/times again just to remind you. Bring necessary forms and fees to first class. Proper dance attire- shoes not necessary other than comp classes and ballet classes but shoe orders available to all interested. I will have more on that later. See you soon!

Ballet Classes offered!

DancElation is excited to have Brittney Smith who has a strong ballet/dance and teaching background. She will be coming into some of my competition classes for 30min ballet instruction. Her family purchased a new house and so will be moving soon- but we are so pleased to have her help instruct for as long as we can have her:). We also want to welcome Jessica Groom. She has a strong passion and love for dance and would love to instruct anyone who is interested in developing ballet technique which is the core for most dance styles. She is teaching a few ballet classes on Tuesdays and would invite those who are interested in a Ballet Technique Class from 4-5:30pm and a Ballet Performance Class from 5:30-7pm. Please contact for any questions regarding classes. More classes may be made as demand grows. REMINDER: CLASSES START NEXT WEEK!!!!!! and Dance Workshop is still open for registration but yo need to act ASAP!

Dance Workshop-Awesome Opportunity/Experience!

This year we have a great opportunity to participate in a dance workshop on Saturday, September 19th. Three amazing and talented choreographers/dancers will give technique and dance instruction to all levels and ages of dancers. I strongly encourage students who love to dance and have the desire to become better to take this workshop-especially those interested in competition teams. It is $115 for the whole day per dancer which includes lunch and gift, but if I get 15 dancers registered they will give us $10 off per dancer. We can carpool down to Logan for those that want to go. I can't reiterate how much of a great opportunity this could be for your dancer. Please contact me ASAP if you are interested. The sooner we are registered, the better. Thank You!

Ready....:)

So, it is set. I have a new place to call "dance home". It is located west of Carlos and Harleys, in the same building as the Copy Center, Healing Tree etc. I have A LOT to do to get it dance ready. So....here is the official schedule. Next week, Thursday the 27th, we will have Competition Team try-outs for DancElect and DancElite. It is a half day so I will have tryouts from 2pm - 4:30pm. Tryouts will be set up to consist of warm up/stretches, across the floor/on floor technique, combo/choreograpy learning. They will be put into small groups and asked to perform dance combo and then individually called out to perform certain technique.(splits, leg holds, pirouettes, leaps etc.) Please wear appropriate dance attire and bring dance shoes-big possibility the floor will still be carpet at that time. I am looking for strong performance technique, musicality, and showmanship. I will email team placement results by Friday night. No matter what performance comp team the girls are placed on, they will receive dance instruction/choreography that will be fun and push their indivuidual abilities, so I am sure they can't go wrong no matter what team they are placed on. They will all get to compete at least once whether it is DancExcel, DancElect, or DancElite. All I require is a positive attitude, and a work hard ethic. Dance Classes will officially start the 2nd week of September- Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th. Please come the scheduled dance time with Dance Enrollment forms, Registration Fee $30, and September Tuition. That will still get us 4 dance weeks in for September and give me an extra week to get things ready:) I am still hoping to get some ballet classes set for Tuesdays so make sure you subscribe to my blog so you can keep updated on all my new posts. Let's GO!!!!!
