Oh my goodness.... what a freezing day!  But thankfully we are toasting and warm in the studio today.  The air conditioning is set at a beautiful 23 degrees year round and we are able to dance even on the feral days and not feel the cold.  Please remember to send your dancer in a coat and slippers on these cold days to get to and from the car.

You will get your newsletter link emailed to you once a fortnight.  Don't forget to check out everything that is going on!  

You don't need to change anything, or rebook for term 3.  That all happens automatically.  You will receive an invoice in the last week of term 2.  Please check your junk mail or chat with the front desk if you don't receive this.

The concert hire fees will be added to your term 3 account.  Please note you will get charged 1 costume hire fee/class that your child attends.  

This year we are doing the concert

YELLOW BRICK ROAD

This will be our own interpretation of the original story the Wizard of Oz.   We will be hosting this show on the 17 November at the Empire Theatre in Toowoomba.  This show will be shown twice... once as a matinee and once as a feature show.  The pre-school age students will only perform at one show.  Either the matinee or the feature show - so that we don't wear them out!  The school aged children will most likely perform in both shows.  We haven't attempted this before and will unfold more details as they come to hand. 

All dancers under 3 years will not be required at this years show.  However, we would love them to come and watch!  

We do not have a cast list ready to release yet.  We are still doing up our drafts at this time.  Stay tuned for more information to come shortly.  

All dancers will hire costumes.  We already have some samples here.  More to come shortly.  These costume hire fees will be added to the term 3 account coming shortly.

We have exciting news about our upcoming ATOD examinations.  We have the amazing and highly regarded Karen Malek travelling from Sydney to do our exams on the 30th and 31st of July.  The timetable will be released soon.  

We are having our practice exams on the Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd of July in the school holidays.  The actual exams will be on Monday 30th July and Tuesday 31st July... the timetable will be exactly the same for the practice exams and real exams.   So to work out your time for the practice exams, simply replace Monday 30th July with Monday 2nd July and Tuesday 31st July with Tuesday 3rd July.

We were unable to back to back the ballet and jazz exams for those kids doing multiple exams because we need to work around different staff members who all have different outside jobs and commitments.  Thank you for your understanding with this logistically tricky project.  

We are so excited to be attending the ATOD International in Brisbane from Wednesday the 9th July to Thursday 12th July.  This will involve all performance teams, contemporary 3 and solo dancers.  Please let me know if you have any space in your car.  We need a lift for 2 people for Open Contemporary on Thursday night and 1 little person for Bronze Performance Team.  

This will be held at the QUT Garden Theatre 2 George Street.  We can't wait to see you all there!
