Dear Studio Families

We hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. Just a few things we wanted to touch base with as we have had a few questions.

You will receive information about fall programs in an email in late August. This will have all the details of school uniforms, studio calendar and all sorts of need to know info. I will be away until the second week of August at a teacher’s course so will not be available until then. If you have questions feel free to phone or email the studio – and we will get back to you when we are in to the studio again.

Happy summer to all of you!

Lesley Benham
Director
Deas Island Dance

Fall Registration
Our next registration will take place on Thursday August 23rd from 5-8 pm.
Final registration will take place Wednesday September 5 and Thursday September 6 from 4-8pm.

Fall Classes Begin Monday September 10th.

Festival Entries
Thank you to all the students who have placed entries for festival. The teachers are planning the festival routines and you will have a schedule for rehearsals by the second week of August. We will try and put festival rehearsals to the weeks you are attending summer school.

Summer School Students - August Summer Camp Hours
There is still room in all levels Primary upwards. If you still want to register, simply mail the attached forms to the studio address. If you want simply to join the jazz and stage portion please email me directly for times. If you want a Summer Dance 2007 brochure please phone or email the studio.

I will be sending out another email the week before summers school begins which will detail their classes and what to bring. Please note that students will have breaks between classes and in the case of younger students they will be supervised. In the case of ballet students the grade is based on what RAD grade they are entering this fall.

POINTE SHOES FITTING WITH MISS JANET
Tuesday July 31st 10:00am – 12:00 Noon at the Limber’s Kerrisdale Location (5635 West Boulevard and west 41st)

Miss Janet has kindly volunteered her time to be on hand to okay the pointe shoe selection. We have asked Limbers to bring in extra stock for the fittings and they have notified staff that Deas Island Dance students will be coming in. If you need new pointe shoes…please come by during these hours….new pointe shoes need to be checked by Miss Janet before you sew on ribbons. There will be pointe shoe fitters in on this day as well as extra shoe stock …so if you can not make it to the morning session, please come in to the afternoon. Students who are starting pointe for the first time this year….such as students taking 3 ballet classes a week in any of the PRBT/TI/T2/ X1/X2/X3/ are strongly encouraged to come to this Pointe shoe fitting. If you are unable to make this day…please get to one of Limbers for a fitting asap as they sometimes need to order sizes/widths – this can take a little while!

DVD’s from Alice in Wonderland
Dvd’s will be mailed to your homes in September.
If you forgot to order a dvd and are still wanting one you must contact Doug McLeod of Cloud 9 Video directly. His number is 604-929-5387. I believe Doug is away for a large chunk of August – but leave him a message and he will get back to you by September.

Missed Photo Sales? Pro-line Photos for Alice in Wonderland
Proline Photography has now picked up the remaining photos. If you have missed photo sales and are still wanting to order photos…you may do so directly through their website.
