Term 3 2008 - Registrations are now open!
Registrations for Term 3 2008 are now open. Thank you to all my students for braving the winter storms, and flu, and making Term 2 such a fun term to participate in!

In Term 3 all students will be preparing and practising the choreographies previously learned in Term 1 and 2 in 2008 for the Medance Student show, 1001 Nights! on Saturday 6 September 2008.

To provide sufficient practice time as well as building technique, I have restructured the the Tuesday and Thursday night classes for Term 3.

Please note, I have adjusted some of the start times for classes, like the Tuesday Tribal class, which will now start at 6.15pm.

All students in Level 1 and 2 wishing to perform in the show will be required to attend both an Open level class as well as the Performance Preparation classes for the 7 weeks leading up to the show.

I will not be offering Introduction classes during Term 3 2008, however, new students wishing to learn to Belly Dance are invited to join the Open Level Classes on either Tuesday, or Thursday evenings or Friday mornings.

Level 4 classes on Saturday morning will now comprise of a 1 hour technique class, followed by a choreography class. All students wishing to take Level 4 choreography are required to attend the Level 4 technique class immediately prior.

I look forward to working with you all to present a truly spectacular show in September. As with all small productions, volunteers and helpers are most welcome,
contact me if you are able to offer any assistance.
