DVDS

DVDs are being mailed! We wanted to touch base with you regarding the DVDs. We videotaped the show ourselves which is why we offered them at a lower price this year. This is our first year mailing them, so forgive us on the delay. The backdrop for the show this year affected the dancers on the stage a bit. The video was edited by Phil Towne and each DVD has been printed/labeled. We packaged them ourselves for you. We hope you are able to enjoy this keepsake and are already working to pick out a backdrop that will enhance the look of the dancers onstage for next year.

ADULT DANCE

Last week we had YOGA as our first installment of adult dance classes. Cathy Lortie led us through some introductory poses that were great for strengthening our bodies and allowed some relaxation time as well. The benefits of Yoga are many. Positions in yoga can increase flexibility, increase lubrication of the joints, ligaments, and tendons. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. It massages all the organs of the body, tones muscle, and improves posture.

This week we will present adult ballet. Class begins at 6:30. For $10, students will receive a one hour lesson in beginning ballet. You will learn terminology but mainly focus on the exercises that benefit us in the form of stretch and strength. This class should be a nice progression from yoga into next week's lesson in Modern. Ballet promotes better posture, sculpts and tones your body, develops poise and body awareness, helps relieve stress, and promotes flexibility. I found this link that may provide some insight into the connection adults have found with attending dance (ballet) classes. http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Benefits-of-Ballet-Lessons-for-Adults. There is also proof that exercise and participation in weight baring activities such as sports and dance (ballet) can reduce bone loss and prevent osteoporosis. Many of the things we will cover (and covered in yoga) can be repeated at home - if done several times a week you will find the most benefit.

Contact us for information about adult dance: inmotion@twcny.rr.com or 785-5513.

YOGA TONIGHT!

Come join us tonight for the first installment of our 6 week adult dance workshop. Cathy Lortie will lead us in yoga tonight at 7 p.m. $10 per session or pay $50 for the entire 6 weeks. Next week Shereen will lead you through ballet at 6:30 on Friday! What better way to start the weekend? Wind down from your work week with some stretch, strength and relaxation tonight.

Nutcracker 12/5 & 12/6

Reminder that rehearsals are AT THE STUDIO this weekend!! :) See you all there - fingers crossed for no snow!!

Career Day

Today I had the opportunity to present 4 twenty minute sessions as part of Case Middle School's Career Day. I had a great time and wished for more time with the students. I spoke to them about being a dance teacher, a business owner, and the other performance related careers for people to also consider. We tried to do a little hip hop too and often ran out of time...oh well! I want to thank one of our dance parents, Carla VanWormer, for inviting me to be a part of this event. A lot of time, effot, and energy goes into putting something like this together - especially if it's a first time venture - believe me, I know. If the interest is sparked in one student to continue their education, stay in school, etc. then it will have been a success! Thank you Carla for caring about kids!! Next week I'll be teaching an after school session at IHC - check back for info. on that! :)

Enrollment Update

In the NEWS

In Motion's Snack Attack was a great success! Those that attended had a great time learning a few new healthy snack recipes, making them, and eating them! We all rec'd cookbooks with ideas for other healthy snack ideas.

The Hip Hop Workshop at the YMCA was awesome!! We all had a great time with Pat-Y-O and hope to be able to have him back again sometime.

Weather Policy

Last night they said 8-12, this morning it was 4-8, now I see 6-10 inches of snow possible...I can't believe it! Anyway...time for the weather policy for this year.

We will NOT close when or because schools close. We will make our own determinations based on road conditions in the Watertown area whether to hold classes or to cancel them. If you choose to not venture to classes please be sure to contact us - especially those in smaller classes. We will make every effot to make a decision by 2:00 each day there is weather. We will post information on the blog and on the answering machine. If we do cancel on or before 2:00 we will contact WWNY, WWTI on the TV and the BORDER radio station. If conditions worsen after 2:00 or when classes are in session we will personally make phone calls to cancel classes. When in doubt, don't hesitate to call - leave a message if you get a machine and someone will always get back to you!

Fingers crossed - we stay GREEN for Halloween! :) Happy Haunting!
-Shereen

LOST and FOUND

Please take note of the many items left behind in our first month of classes. Look on top of the cubbies, pull up a chair and really look up high... if anything is yours, please take it home.

Happy New Year!

We hope that everyone enjoyed their holiday season. With the New Year upon us, it is time to re-energize and yes, it's time for dance to begin once again! I know many of you have been missing your classes and we have missed you as well, but we did all need a little vacation. Classes begin Wednesday, January 2. Please be sure your accounts are up to date as we will be mailing out bills in the next couple weeks that will include late payments. Make sure your costume deposits have been made as orders will be placed soon. It will be time to make a push on our recital dances for those who have started. Other classes will be starting choreography in the next week or two - attendance is very important. We do not have extra studio time or instructor availability to catch students up on missed choreography so do your best to get to classes.

We also want to take a moment to congratulate everyone involved with The Nutcracker this year. The show seemed to be a success and we've heard many wonderful things. The show was featured on WWNY 7 as one of the "North Country's Finest". You can check it out by going to their website, searching "Nutcracker", and clicking on the first result. We also had a dance dad write a warm letter to the people in Sunday's Watertown Times - we thank you! It's hard work putting a show like that together but we hope that the finished product is well worth the effort, it is for us and we are proud of all of you!

Newsletters will be out soon and as soon as all the costumes are decided on we will be posting balances. Until then...sit back and enjoy a little dancing!! See you all in class!

Love,

Shereen, Tricia, Jessica

Pre-school parents

Pre-School parents.... As we enter our 5th week of classes we ask that you consider stepping back from the doorway of the studio. We encourage you to be nearby and to take a peek but with such large numbers of parents watching we feel it may be distracting the children. Teachers will designate days for parents to come into the studio at the end of classes for showings. Also, please respect the studio space and be sure only teachers and students are in the dance room during class times. We believe that the children are becoming famliar and more comfortable with the studio, their peers, and their teachers. Allowing space for your teachers to instruct the children will facilitate a better learning environment and you will be happy as you see the results month to month. We thank you so much for your understanding as we work together to make the best environments for our dancers. - Shereen :)

Beginning Tap I

Beginning Tap I for ages 5-8 is on our schedule for Thursdays at 5:30 with Shereen. We have one person on an interest list.
