Week 1 - Back to Ballet

Sleeping Beauty

Welcome back to Term 4 everyone!!!
We hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable break.

Term 4 Disco

We are also planning a Sleeping Beauty Pajama Party/Disco in Week 6 - possibly Thursday 15th November 2012 - lots of fun games, videos, marshmallows and popcorn so don't forget your PJ's and blanket or sleeping bag :)

We need your help

We would love everyone's help this term as staging a Concert is quite different to organising an Open Day or one-off Performances.

We have a list of jobs for volunteers and your help over the next 10 weeks would be greatly appreciated.

We would like to employ a professional video person for our end of year concert and the cost for a DVD will be $35.

Please let us know if you are purchasing a DVD asap so that we can book our concert date with him.

Welcome

We would like to welcome new Ballerina, Riley who has enrolled in our Thursday Kinder Ballet Class.

Baby Ballerinas can try this on demi point (half pointe - balls of the feet only)

couru
[koo-roo; Fr. koo-ry]

Coppelia

The Bolshoi Ballet's Natalia Osipova performs Swanhilda's variation from Act Three of Coppelia. 2009.

The story of Coppélia concerns a mysterious and faintly diabolical inventor, Doctor Coppélius[1] who has made a life-size dancing doll. It is so lifelike that Frantz, a village swain, is infatuated with it, and sets aside his true heart's desire, Swanhilde, who in Act II shows him his folly by dressing as the doll and pretending to come to life. The festive wedding-day divertissements in the village square that occupy Act III are often deleted in modern danced versions, though one of the entrées was the first czardas presented on a ballet stage.

Welcome to new Bubby Ballerinas, Layla, Ruby, Keira, and Charlotte G, starting with CCBB this Term.

Welcome to new Baby Ballerinas, Summer, Bella, Georgia, and Kayley starting with CCBB this Term.

Welcome to jELLYBEANz JaZZ - Kinder Ballerinas Isabelle, Ashley and Jessica.
