SWANSEA SCHOOL OF DANCE

Summer Sweat classes are on at Swansea School of Dance!

Get out of the heat and join us for Summer Sweat classes in the nice cool studio. Buy a 6 class pass or pay as you go.

Classes run from 6:00 to 7:30 pm on….

July 20 & 22

August 17, 19, 24, 26 & 31

September 2 
 
 
You can purchase a 6 class pass for $100 (HST included).
 
If you pay as you go, each class will be $16+HST.
 
What is Summer Sweat?
 
We will start each class with a 30 minute conditioning section (stretching, pilates or yoga).  On Tuesdays there will be a 1 hour Jazz/Hip Hop class to follow and on Thursday there will be a 1 hour Ballet/Modern class.  We think this will be a fun way to continue to work on your flexibility and strength and perhaps try a new form of dance.
Adults and friends are welcome.

There is still room for more dancers in our summer camps!

The dates and registration information are under “Camps and PA Days” on the sidebar.

Come join the fun at Swansea School of Dance this summer!

There will be registration for 2010-2011 classes at the studio on:

Thursday June 24      6:00pm to 8:00pm
Friday June 25            6:00pm to 8:00pm
Saturday June 26        9:00am to 12:00pm
 
These are also the times for costume return for all Anastasia performers. The students who performed in the Pre-School Thumbelina show may keep their costumes. Please do not wash the costumes. Return all costumes to the studio, including tutus, scarves and hats, and be sure to sign the costume return binder (which will be at the studio) beside your child’s name so that we know your costume was returned. It is a big task to sort, wash and put away the costumes and we want to get that done before dance camp starts in July so your cooperation is appreciated.
 
If you are not able to come to one of the June registration sessions and know which class or classes your child wants to take next year, you can email the information to melinda@swanseaschoolofdance.com and an invoice will be emailed to you. You then write two post-dated cheques for the dates and amounts shown on the invoice, complete the registration form and mail it all to 311 Quebec Avenue, Toronto, M6P 2V2.

 
There are a limited number of spaces for each class and registration is done on a first come, first served basis.

The Schedule for the 2010-2011 season is now posted – click on SCHEDULE above the photo on the home page.

Please note that this Schedule is tentative, meaning it is subject to change based on registration.

The Fee Schedule and registration dates will be posted in the coming week.

We are pleased to say that we have found a photographer – her name is Natalie Brown and she owns Tangerine Photography at 589A Annette Street, just west of Runnymede.

Photos will be taken during regularly scheduled class time, with a few exceptions which are noted below. Once the photos have been taken, students will stay for the remainder of their class time to rehearse in costume. This also gives us the opportunity to assess if there are any wardrobe malfunctions.
 
The schedule is as follows:

Tuesday June 1 – all Tuesday classes plus the Friday Grade 4 ballet students who are not also in the Tuesday Grade 4 class (please come for the 6:00 Grade 4 class) – Inter Modern students should be at the studio by 7:00 at the latest to get ready 

Wednesday June 2 – all Wednesday classes plus the Friday Grade 2 ballet students who are not also in the Wednesday Grade 2 class (please come for the 5:00 Grade 2 class)

Thursday June 3 – all Thursday classes except Grade 6 – the Grade 6 class (Russian Ballet) will have a group photo taken at the dress rehearsal and if dancers wish individual photos, they can come to the studio on Saturday June 12 at 3:00pm

Monday June 7 – all Monday classes
 
Saturday June 12 – all Saturday classes plus the Friday Jazz 3 and Friday Jazz 4 classes – Friday Jazz 3 should come at 10:30am and Friday Jazz 4 should come at 12:15pm
Please note that the Russian Ballet dancers (Grade 5 Monday, Grade 6 Thursday and Grade 7 Thursday) and the Jewels (Grade 7 Monday) will have their group photos taken at the dress rehearsal.
 
Students who will be away at Music Camp and the Grade 6 Thursday Russian Ballet may have their individual photos taken at 3:00pm on Saturday June 12. Please let me know if you plan to come at that time.
 
2 YEAR OLD CLASSES
We had originally planned not to photograph the 2 Year Music and Movement classes but have now decided we would like to take a group photo of each class. These photos will be taken after each class, that is this Wednesday June 3 at 10:15am and next Monday June 7 at 10:15am.

HAIR AND MAKEUP
In order for the photo sessions to run smoothly, please ensure that your dancer arrives a few minutes early on photo day, dressed in costume and with hair in a bun for ballet and ponytail for all other classes (unless otherwise instructed by the teacher). Senior students (grade/level 4 and up) may wear a little lipstick and eye makeup. If any dancer needs hair supplies, we are selling bun kits (hair net, elastic and hair pins) at the studio for a toonie.
 
ORDERING PHOTOS
In the past, photos have been posted on the photographer’s website in a gallery which can be accessed only by the dance school through use of a password. This year, Natalie intends to email each dancer individually with proofs of the photos from her/his session. You will then be able to order photos directly from Natalie. In order for this system to work, there will be a form emailed to you (later today) which must be completed and brought to the photo session. This is not an order form but simply gives Natalie your contact information so she can get the proofs to you. There is no obligation to purchase any photos.
