SUMMER DANCE WORKSHOP – Monday, July 29- Thursday, August 1
In addition to our championship dancers who are expected to attend, there is also a workshop group for our advanced beginner/novice/prizewinner dancers. This is a wonderful opportunity for them. Everyone will receive an email with all the times/prices this asap. Information is available at class, if you have any other questions.
SUMMER CLASS SCHEDULE
Our summer schedule starts on Tuesday, June 25th, and continuing for all, including new beginners on Tuesdays, starting July 9th at 6pm through Tuesday, August 13th, in St. Mary’s in Dumont on Washington Avenue. You only pay for each class you attend. FEES WILL BE $25, payable in cash for all returning dancers. New beginners will be $20 per class (45 min). Please bring your payment in an envelope, labeled with your child’s name, at each class.
These classes are great to help keep the dancer practicing their material and also so as to not forget their steps. They can help a child to advance a little in material they might not yet have mastered. They are very useful if your child plans on competing in competitions during the summer months. Also, if you know of someone who has a child thinking about starting lessons, these classes help them and we, as teachers, ascertain their readiness and it gives them a head start on September. Lastly, anyone competing at Championship level or is planning on competing in the Regional Oireachtas should be attending these classes. At this level of competition, one cannot afford to take the summer off.
PLEASE SEE ONLINE CALENDAR TO SEE WHEN YOUR CLASS LOCATION ENDS IN JUNE.
