Hello dancers and parents!  I can't believe that spring is here where has our school year gone.  I hope you all enjoy your spring break, take the opportunity to get outside and enjoy our beautiful spring weather.  

Some updates on what has been going on in class and what we have coming up.  We are just about to wrap up our time unit, we have created group rhythm dances, then added accents, echos, and cannons to them.  We have two more elements of time to learn about, acceleration, and deceleration.  

We are going on a field trip Thursday April 9.  Your student should have brought home a permission form.  Please have those signed and brought back to school by the 7th.  To go not only does your student have to have their permission form in but the $10 participation fee for the class must be paid to the main office by the 9th as well.  I am looking for chaperons to attend Copper Hills Dance Spring Showing with us.  We plan to leave the school by 9 and return before noon. 

Hey all! If you are looking for your choreography video so you can practice at home before our choreographer comes back, you will find it in the home page. Scroll down there will be a YouTube playlist window click the playlist menu and click on your class periods video.

Please remember to bring your pictures in to class on Monday and Tuesday for our Shape Abstraction assignment.  We will continue to work on our Space Dance Unit Final, which we won't test until next week.  Wednesday and Thursday we will talk about (& dance) Spatial Relationships (in, on, under, over, off, around, next to, etc)
