Some children will have just taken exams and others will be working towards exams in June so it is a good chance to see how they are progressing. Adult Jazz Dance Class Dance Your Way to a Healthier Summer Jayne will be starting an Adult dance class on Monday 13th April 2015. The class will consist of strengthening and flexibility exercises and dance routines. Dance is a fantastic way to keep fit and much better than slogging away in the gym! The price is £30 for a Five Week Course. Ring 01228 599440 or email info@cumbriadance to book your place. Fees Clarification Online payments are due on or before the first day of the new block. Cash or cheque payments should be brought to class during the first week of a new block (or a cheque posted if your child will be absent). Next payment due Mon 4th May 2015 We automatically assume your child will be continuing into the next block unless we hear otherwise. Our Terms and Conditions state that we require written notice at least 2 weeks before the next block if your child wants to stop so we can offer place to someone else or re-arrange classes if necessary. We are happy to make suitable arrangements if families are experiencing financial difficulties. Dance Presentation We are holding a presentation of dance on Saturday 4th July 2015 at The Shepherd’s Inn, Carlisle. All pupils will be involved There will be rehearsals in the daytime at the venue so there will be no normal classes on this day. Please let us know if your child will be on holiday. Tickets will go on sale on 1st June at £5.00 per adult and £2.50 for any child not participating (under 3’s free) More details to follow. Ballet Uniform A new style navy leotard was introduced for ballet pupils from Standard/Grade 4 upwards in September. These will be needed for the exams in June. Some pupils are arriving for ballet classes without all their uniform and/or their hair not suitably done. Once pupils are in Grade 1 (navy) I expect this to be part of their preparation for class. Cumbria Dance uniform should be worn by all pupils from Pre-Primary upwards. Drama Production Alice in Wonderland If you are interested in drama and would like to be part of our next production ‘Alice in Wonderland’ please speak to Debbie. You need to be aged 7 to 13.
