UNIFORMS

Congratulations to all the students who have been wearing the DANZA uniform, you all look very smart.

To arrange a fitting and or place an order please email Michelle DANZA.pa@gmail.com.  

 

CONCERT

Our annual concert will be held at the Allambie Heights Community Centre on Sunday 30th October 2011. 

Please put this date in your dairy!!!

We will hold all dress rehearsals during your child’s class time during week 10 of Term 3 (Saturday 17 to Friday 23 September).  I urge all students to attend this rehearsal as it gives them a chance to dance in their costume and enables us to add any final touches and adjustments to costumes prior to the Photo Shoot.

 

CONCERT REHEARSALS

Additional Rehearsals will take place. 

We will hold rehearsals on Saturday 15th & 22nd October in the Allambie Studio and on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th in the Concert hall. 

A Rehearsal Schedule will be emailed out early next term.

 

PHOTO SHOOT

The “Photo Shoot” for all students will take place at the Naremburn studio on Saturday 8th October 2011.  Anyone who has prior activities on this date please contact me immediately so we can reschedule the timetable accordingly.

 

COSTUMES

HELP!!!!!!

So far we have had only 2 people respond to assist in the costumes, set and props creation. 

To keep our hire costs to a minimum we need help.

Anyone who can assist in costume sewing or prop design & manufacture please email Michelle DANZA.pa@gmail.com 

 

FUND RAISING

After the fantastic response to last years fundraiser Raffle we have decided to hold one again this year.

Donna Hughes (Emily’s mum) & Kal Garcha (Jade’s Mum) have kindly offered to make all necessary arrangements.  Donna & Kal will be in touch early next term with more information.

 

I would just like to thank everyone once again for your support.  Have a nice break and I am looking forward to seeing you all again at the commencement of Term 3.
