Good Morning ABT Dancers & Dance Families,

Our Annual Holiday Party 2015 is almost upon us; in just two days, we will be dancing on the Stage at The Stevie Eller Dance Theatre on the U of A Campus. The party will run from 2 - 4 pm on Sunday, December 13th, 2015. (You might want to drive by the Theatre in advance if you have never been there before….)

Costume Bags will be distributed all this week at The Studio. If you have not signed up to participate and you intend to come, please do so ASAP, so that I will have a costume bag for every dancer. I will do my very best to make sure that everyone has a fun Costume; we really do have quite a Costume Collection from which to choose. Keep in mind that I always try to bring any extras to the Theatre in case there are some last minute, unexpected participants. The more the merrier!

FYI - Girls, you should wear pink tights and pink ballet slippers, and please bring all your other dance shoes with you including tap and jazz shoes. Boys, bring your jazz and tap shoes, please. Dancers are always prepared for whatever may happen. Bring all your dance stuff just in case….

My hope is that everyone will participate in this fun, informal party which is an opportunity to get acquainted with “The Theatre Experience and the Magic of Dancing” on such a beautiful stage; the party will begin with a short warm-up on stage; we will then share our dance pieces with the audience (who will be seated comfortably in the lovely auditorium). Since this is a rather informal event, we may be running the pieces more than once. The goal is to have a fun, productive experience in a pressure-free environment.

After the presentations on stage, we will have a Potluck Party on the Plaza in front of the Theatre. Please bring savory or sweet, Pick-up Party Snacks that are easy to share. (Please avoid any items that might require cutting up and/or forks to eat!) Please keep it tasty and simple!

One other thought which would prove very helpful - if you know you are NOT going to participate due to a conflict on December 13th, please let me know that you won’t be coming. Then I will not worry about leaving you out, which I would never want to do!

FYI - there will still be a week of classes following the party. The semester runs through December 23rd :)

That is it for today. I am very pleased with all we have accomplished so far this semester and am looking forward to a great dance time ahead.

Miss Cecily, very excited for the days ahead!
