October 2009

My dear students,

Our fall dancing has started. The schedule and our goals are successfully settled. I am very happy to see all of you again and witness your dance inspirations.

This month, we have a unique opportunity to enjoy a Weekend of Dance. On October 16-18, we will swim, stretch, dance, and relax in jacuzzi being in three parallel groups at Beaverton YMCA. I would strongly encourage those taking lessons at least twice a week to sign up. I have a team of professionals ready to work with your body stretching and male leading. We will work on Man/Lady styling. Come and have fun! (see # 4 below or click)

On Oct 9th and 10th, you are welcome to join our tables at Oregon Fall Festival in Clackamas. Come and support 15 couples representing Dance Fireworks as well as other Anya's students on this weekend. Canadian Closed 10-Dance Champions are dancing the Night Shows. Email me, if you want to join the cheering team :)

New Classes start for you on Saturday in Clackamas and Monday in Beaverton.

Another weekend of fun will be in Seattle at the NW Regional Championships. All of my OR, WA, NY and CA students are welcome for a night walk in Seattle on Sunday after the competition. Book your private lessons on Friday, if you need (see #5)

Kids and Youth Classes are extremely successful. I am so happy they all have come full of energy in their bodies, sparkles in the eyes and amazing willing to grow in dance.

Thanks to all of you for a great start!

Sincerely Yours,

Anya
