 Singers Wanted

Winter Follies Singers

It's not too

late to be a part of the 2011 Winter Follies.  We are seeking young singers to perform in our Holiday Show Chorus on Thursday, December 15th at the Clinton Town Hall.  

  

Any students ages 9 and up with previous singing experience (school or church choir/chorus) who are not already dancing in the show are welcome to sign up.  

 

Singers will work with Frank Natter of Face Arts Music in Deep River.  Frank is not only an accomplished musician and teacher.  He is also Miss Linalynn's brother! 

 

Singers will learn two to three holiday songs that will be performed in the Holiday show. 

 

Rehearsals will be held at The Dance Corner on Saturday, 11/19 and Saturday, 12/10 from 4:30-6:00PM.

  There will also be a dress rehearsal at the performance venue on December 14th (times TBA).

 

There is no cost to participate in this group, but singers must be at all three rehearsals.

Please email or call Miss Carrie to sign-up today!

Best of Shoreline 2011award
For the second year in a row, The Dance Corner was voted "Best Kid's Dance Studio" in the Shoreline Newspapers annual readers poll.  We are thrilled to receive this recognition from the community.  Thank you everyone for your support of our studio!
Costume Measurements

It's hard to believe it but we are a 3rd of the way through the dance year, and it's time to start thinking about the recital. Miss Carrie will order costumes at the beginning of December. In order to ensure proper costume fit, students will be measured during their classes this month

Costume Orders

Costumes for all students dancing in the annual recital will be ordered at the beginning of December. Costumes are non-refundable and non-returnable. If your child will not be participating in the annual recital, please let Miss Carrie know by December 1st. If you previously declined to pay a costume deposit because you didn't think your child would be in the recital, but would now like her to participate, please contact Miss Carrie, so she can add your child to the costume order list.

Families are responsible for their entire costume bill even if their child withdraws from classes between December and June.


Don't forget to pick-up your DVD's
We still have several 2011 recital DVD's that haven't been claimed. The DVD's are in the Dance Shop and can be picked up during shop hours.


Recital Dates Confirmed

Our annual recital will be held at the Haddam Killingworth High School on 6/2 & 6/3 2012. All classes will not dance on both days. The schedule of which classes perform in each show will be distributed in February. There will be 2 onstage rehearsals, one on Wednesday, 5/30 and another on Friday. 6/1. Classes will be assigned to one rehearsal night. This schedule will be dsitributed in early May. Please let Miss Carrie know about any conflicts ASAP. We would like to do our best to create a rehearsal schedule that works around school concerts and other events.


Student Drop Off & Pick-up 

For their safety, we do not allow students to wait outside for parents. Please come into the studio to pick-up your children after class. It is getting dark earlier now and we are concerned about the safety of children walking through the busy parking lot. Please SLOW DOWN when driving through our parking lot. Between classes there are many pedestrians walking in and out of the building. For everyone's safety, please use caution when driving in the parking lot.

Also, please DO NOT enter the unpaved one lane driveway.  This is the drive that borders the Running Brook Farms property.  This is an EXIT ONLY.  Please enter the main PAVED entrance that is closest to the dance shop on the left side of the building.  You can drive around the back this way and exit out the unpaved driveway on the right side of the building.

Thank you.

 

Thanksgiving Food Drive 

As we enter the Holiday season, it is important to remember that there are many families who can not afford many of the things that we take for granted. During the month of November The Dance Corner will be holding a food drive to benefit The Shoreline Soup Kitchens.

Miss Carrie and The Dance Corner staff are asking that all students bring a non-perishable food item to class between November 1st & November 19th. The collected food will be donated to The Shoreline Soup Kitchens to help feed needy families this holiday season. Your contributions are very much appreciated.

 

The most needed items include: Juice, SPAM, tuna, peanut butter, low sodium soup, canned fruit, oatmeal, breakfast cereal, beef stew, rice, pasta, beans, and canned meat.

Non- food items are also needed: "Green" grocery bags, paper or plastic grocery bags, rubber gloves, Ziploc bags, cleaning products, garbage bags, food store gift cards, grocery shopping carts, and paper plates, forks, knives, spoons, and hot/cold cups.
