My dear students and friends, Happy New 2010!
What a great year we just danced through!
First steps on a dance floor, first competitions,
high expectations, disappointing losses, unexpected wins, amazement at your
own body, inspiration from seeing others, trust and respect for each other,
great friendship, well-deserved trophies, time evaluation, passion for the future,
dance plans and desires, ...
2010 promises to be even better.
Let's begin together! :)
I plan to have a Students' Showcase Night soon. Kids and Youth are getting ready in their Wednesday Classes, Adults in Monday and Saturday class series. Let me know, if you like to perform too.
In January, we have three major competitions to go to: the Winter Ball, Quest for the Best, and the Snow Ball Classic. Break a leg! - those of you daring to dance under the lights!
Attention, my private lessons students! Due to my intensive judging, lecturing, and coaching outside of the country in January and February, please, reschedule your lessons, unless you travel with me to Canada and Italy. I am out of the country Jan. 21-25, Feb. 10-20, 2010. All of the group classes will have a well-prepared substitute instructor.
Get Ready for the February 5th Social Dance Night at Sesame Dance Club with Anya! :)
Have a beautiful January while dancing!
Sincerely Yours,
Anya
