Sunday Rehearsal - Company Stars

I came up with this: I threw all the petite dances on because I think they could perhaps use the extra practice. I didn't put Teen Jazz on because we aren't doing it 'til later and I would like to get a bit more done with it first before we do it on the stage. I tried to get all the solos on - we'll just rotate and share the stage time. Let me know if I missed someone. Jrs. are doing full 45s with both because we have 3 out for the 2/25 rehearsal and won't practice that day. Srs. I put on last - I may give you Monday night off if you can all get there and work your tushies off!! You'd still have ballet though. I'm waiting to confirm that I can have the stage beyond the allotted 4:00 time. I will update for sure once I know. :)

teachers, parents, students - Please let me know any conflicts! :) Thanks all!!

Fall into Dance!

It's that time of year... with Fall just around the corner and back to school sales upon us, you may want to consider registering your child for their extracurricular activities. If you are thinking about dance, we ask you to give In Motion a try. We are setting tentative dates and times for our Open House and Registration dates. We invite you to come in and talk to our staff, view the studio, and register for classes. If you are a returning student who has not yet registered, you will want to do so quickly! Classes are filling and closing out, waiting lists have begun to take shape. Our staff is always excited to see new and old faces and look forward to offering your child a quality dance program. We're not just creating dancers here... we are shaping young minds and bodies for the future. Many aspects of taking a dance class can be applied later in life! We encourage you to research the studio you choose for your child. Making sure staff are prepared to teach dance and have experience to draw on is a plus. Ask around - word of mouth is sometimes your best informant. We are confident that you will be happy with the instruction at In Motion. Our studio offers structured classes with a warm atmosphere. We communicate via studio postings, blog, facebook, newsletters, phone and emails. Stop in during an open house or contact us for more information: 785-5513, inmotion@twcny.rr.com

Thursday, Aug. 25 5p-7p
Friday, Aug. 26 - 4p-7p
