Term 3 Newsletter

Hi everyone, term 3 is just around the corner so here is your term newsletter. Term 3 consists of finalising our concert routines, ordering costumes, Wellington and Bathurst Eisteddfod and perfecting our exam exercises.
Here are a few things you need to know:
- Class fees were well overdue last time for some students, unfortunately if this continues your child will be asked to sit out, on top of that we will be charging a $20 weekly overdue fee from week 2 if nothing has been paid. If you struggle paying your fees please try and pay weekly. We have bills and living expenses also.
- We have Step Up Jackets available for the winter. If you would like to order one please put your name and size on an envelope with the correct amount enclosed. We also have cross-over’s and leg warmers if you’re wanting some extra warmth. Big, baggy school jackets and big parkers are not appropriate and make it very hard to dance in as they spend the whole lesson pulling them up over their shoulders.
- A big thankyou to the students that participated in the parade with us and to the people that helped us decorate and make it all possible. Very much appreciated.
- A huge congratulations to the stars that performed in Dubbo and Gulgong Eisteddfod. What a busy few weeks!! But well worth it in the end!!
- Costumes are ordered during term 3, if you haven’t paid I will not be ordering a costume and you won’t be able to dance in the concert.
- Thank you to everyone for moving back and forth during term 2, it was hectic and confusing but thank you for reading your newsletters and keeping up to date with it all.
- Please try and get the correct shoes for dancing this term, ballet shoes for ballet and contemporary, tan jazz shoes for jazz, tap shoes for tap and hip hop boots for hip hop.
- Please be aware if your child is dropped off and they don’t come inside and wait in the waiting room they are not our responsibility. It is impossible for us to watch your child when we are inside teaching a class. Please make sure your children know to wait inside after they are dropped off and after their class has finished.
- Our ladies classes are going well, Mum’s if you want a bit of extra exercise during the winter, come and join the fun on Mondays! 5.30 – Ladies Tap, 6.00 - Ladies Stretch and 6.30 – Ladies Jazz.
- Term 3 is the last term we take enrolments, if you have a friend that would like to join Step Up for the concert please tell them to come in and see us.
- Please note that there will be no solo's in the concert this year. As you all know the school has increased quite a bit since last year and we cannot accommodate for extra routines otherwise the concert will go all day and night!! I am planning on doing a solo's concert at the beginning of term 4 so that you can all perform your solo routines for family and friends on stage without the pressure of an eisteddfod. I am very sorry that we can't have solo's but this decision is not up for discussion. Duo's will still be performing.
- If you need to contact me I would prefer email, info@stepupdance.com.au – you can also ring me between 11.30 and 2pm, Monday – Thursday, having said that I do not wait by the phone in those hours and occasionally I will be unavailable or at an eisteddfod etc so if you cannot get in touch with me, leave a message or email me. I have a business number which is the number at the top of the page on every newsletter. I do not appreciate getting work calls or text messages to my personal phone which is a number I have not handed out for that reason. We are also closed during the holidays, if you need to speak to me please do it once term 3 has commenced.

Thankyou all for a great term. I am looking forward to our end of year concert with you all, which will be held on the 11th of December so keep the date free!! Thanks, Miss Nicole

OVERDUE FEES

Can anyone who owes money to Step Up please work out your bills and bring in your fees for term 1 and term 2, we are now coming in to week 8. If you can't afford to pay your bills per term then you need to be paying weekly. It is embarassing having to chase money up all the time when a newsletter is given to everyone clearly stating how much the term will be before you even commence. I will be applying late fee's ($20 per week that is overdue) to anyone from next week on that owes money. I have bills and living expenses to pay also.

Eisteddfod Concert at the RSL

Hi everyone,
Just realised you didn't receive newsletters on what to wear for the concert if your group is dancing. All groups - please wear your pink and black dance uniforms, hair in a neat high pony tail, no fringes and light stage make-up (a little bit of pink lipstick will be fine - I can do your black lines when you get there). Please make sure you have the correct shoes and stockings for your routines. They can be purchased from the dance shop in mudgee. Soloists and Duo's please wear your costumes.
Try and be there at least half an hour before if you want help with hair and make-up. Don't forget Step Up is closed until the 17th of April, if you need to call on that Saturday please do it between 4pm and 5pm.
Have a great easter! Hope the easter bunny brings lots of chocolate for you all!
Miss Nicole

Term 2 Newsletter

Term 2 is just around the corner so I thought I would fill you in on what will be happening during that term.
Term 2 is our confusing, hectic and stressful term!! As you know Gulgong Eisteddfod is held at the Memorial Hall where we dance so we will be dancing in Mayne St @ the old IGA building, across from the video store. We are lucky to find somewhere big enough to accommodate 2 studios running at the same time and it won’t interfere with our timetable. This change will be week 2 and week 3 for the eisteddfod and also 2 weeks during the end of term for something else. Then after that everything will be back to normal for the rest of the year!!

Please be aware that there are public holidays during this term and we will not be open on public holidays. Step Up is also closed during the 2 weeks school holidays, if you need to contact me please try and do it on the 17th (between 4.00pm-5.00pm) and 18th of April (Between 10am and 11pm).. All the info you need to know will be on the website anyway.

Dates you need to remember:

-Eisteddfod Concert at the Gulgong RSL is Saturday the 17th of April.
The following groups will be performing:
1. Tiny Tots
2. 4,5 Jazz
3. 6,7,8 Jazz
4. 9,10,11 Jazz
5. Lara C: Baby Dance
6. Georgie and Georgia Modern Duo
7. Georgie and Grace Tap Duo
8. Maddi M: Jazz Solo
9. Intermediate Contemporary
10. Grade 2 Ballet
(It may not be in this exact order as the drama school will be performing at well.) Everyone needs to be there at 5.45pm at the latest.

Sunday the 18th of April:
Students competing in the Gulgong Eisteddfod will have an eisteddfod rehearsal on the 18th of April.
The following groups will be performing in the eisteddfod, please check times below for eisteddfod rehearsal @ the Memorial Hall (April 18th):
12.00pm- Solo and Duo Students
1.30pm- 4,5 Jazz
2.00pm- 6,7,8 Jazz
2.30pm- 9,10,11 Jazz
3.00pm- Intermediate Contemporary
3.30pm- Grade 2 Ballet
4.00pm- Finish
Costumes are in the process of being ordered, everyone performing in the eisteddfod will receive a bill with how much they owe on the costume. If you have paid money into the costume account this will be taken off your account. These will also be your concert costumes so please look after them or you will have to order new ones. Please be aware students performing in the eisteddfod need the correct shoes, jazz shoes and tan, shimmer jazz stockings for jazz, ballet shoes and pink ballet stockings for ballet and contemporary. The date you are dancing at the eisteddfod is still being confirmed I will let you know as soon as I know and it will also be on the website.

If you cannot make these dates please let me know asap, remember it is a group effort and we do not want to be waiting for someone to turn up if they can’t make it.

Students that will be eligible for exams will also receive a letter during term 2 outlining costs and opportunities of doing exams. Exams will be held end of August, beginning of September, depending on when HQ can fit us in.

We also have the June Long Weekend Parade this term where students are invited to join us on the truck for the street parade.

Also a reminder, students and parents leaving the waiting room while a class is in progress is becoming a problem, it is a very big distraction to the students we are trying to teach. Please try to avoid it!!

Also its week 8 and I’m still waiting on fee’s – please be aware you will get charged a late fee! All fee’s are to be paid weekly or per term in the first 2 weeks. Unless you have discussed this with me I will expect payment this week.

Lastly, good luck to our stars performing in the Gulgong and Dubbo Eisteddfod this term. I’m sure you’ll make us proud!

Concert 2009

What a fantastic end to 2009!! I've been meaning to update and tell you all how proud we were of you all on the 12th. What a huge day for you all!! (Parents included!). You are all so fantastic to have your children organised for the concert, I understand it is such a hectic and stressful time for you all but I could not ask for a better bunch of families to work with and bring together Step Up at our end of year concert. It really is the best feeling to be in the wings and watching you all come off stage after your routines and tell each other how much fun it was because thats what its all about!
I want to give a big wrap to Andrew at Print Storm who designed our awesome programmes (I will have some on enrolment day if you missed out!), Bathurst Sound and Lighting who are the best in the business!! All of our costume designers (everyone raved about how beautiful costumes were this year!), RSVP who recorded a wonderful DVD for us to keep to remember the great fun we had and of course all of our spectacular parents and students. It is such an honour to work with you all every week.

I hope you all have a relaxing and stress free break and that santa was good to you all! We look forward to seeing you in the new year when Loredo from So You Think You Can Dance 2009's Top 10 joins us for our Summer School Workshop!! You don't want to miss it!!

Love to you all, Miss Nicole and Miss Kate.

Concert Time!!

Can you believe its concert time already! What an exciting time of the year!! I know you are all a bit stressed at the moment and believe me so are we!! But we are here to help you so if there is anything you need that we can help with please let us know!!
It can be a very over-whelming time for first timers with hair, make up and costume changes etc but there will be plenty of people out the back to help you on the day if you are confused, some of these parents have been doing it for years so they know all the tricks and i'm sure they'll be happy to guide you on the day.
If you need assistance on the day please try and get there early, we can help you if you are there before the mayhem so come a good hour or more before the concert starts.
We will have the concert streaming out the back on a TV to keep the children occupied while they are waiting for their dances as you all understand we cannot have children coming down into the audience unless it is interval because it will interrupt the DVD being recorded, nor can they be sitting on the floor or dancing in the aisles as it will distract from the dancing the children have worked so hard to perform for you on the day.
Please make sure that your child does not go down the street or leave the Opera House in their costumes as they were not cheap (and we don't want any marks!) and I do not want people seeing them before the shows.
Bring lots of hairspray, gel and bobby pins!! and please do not put a bright coloured hair band in your childs hair, a brown hairband will look much better!!
Also please respect that no parents, students or friends are allowed on the stage unless they are in the dance performing, I don't like having to ask people to leave the stage area. If you want to watch you need to pay and get a ticket on the day and be in the audience.
There will also be plenty of programme order signs hanging around on the day so please keep an eye on when you need to be with your group ready to go on.
Other than that, please relax and try not to stress, it will all be fantastic, the children know what they're doing on stage and we just want them to get out there and smile and have fun!! We really appreciate all the hard work you put in to bring together such a wonderful show and we love showing you how talented they are at the end of the year! See you all Saturday!!!

Term 2 Changes for weeks 2,3,4 & 6

I'm apoligising in advance for what a mess this term is going to be, i'm so sorry! Please ring me if you are confused and I will help you.
Week 2, myself and Miss Kate are going to be flat out with the Gulgong Eisteddfod so we may be away for some of the junior classes but we have organised some great teachers for you so your classes will run normally.
Classes will be in Mayne Street, Gulgong (where Dew Drop used to be and a couple of doors down the the Chemist), our sign will be in the window so you will see us there, this is for week 2,3 and 4. We were lucky enough to find somewhere with floorboards that won't give you all splinters! but unfortunately it is not big enough for 2 studios so the timetable will be different for those 3 weeks, it will not interfere with the majority of you but some of the senior classes have been moved to the Friday for those 3 weeks.
Can I also ask that because I may not be there for some of the junior classes and my senior students will be teaching that parents, friends, brothers and sisters please drop the students and go, if you have any questions they need to come to me as they won't know the answers. A lot of our classes have grown this year which means we need their attention only on us and not whose coming in and out of the door or standing there watching (this includes Tiny Tots classes). Thankyou for making this easier for us! and again I'm very sorry about the mix up and as I said I will be at the eisteddfod during week 2 from the Tuesday so I if you do ring and I'm not available, I will ring you back asap.
Thanks again!

PS. We are still working about week 6, there is an exhibition in the hall before the June Long Weekend. I will let you know what we end up doing.

A great start to 2009...

We have had a fantastic start to 2009 and we are very excited to have more students than ever! Thankyou for being understanding, it's very hard trying to answer questions when we're teaching so if you need anything please try to catch us in between classes very quickly so we're not wasting your childs classtime.
The mirrors donated by the Leatherbys at Mudgee Glass have been fantastic, they are a great asset to our new premises at the Memorial Hall and we have so much space to dance in which is a great improvement for the school.
Some groups, solos and duos will be performing at the show which is this weekend, the 14th. We also have an Eisteddfod concert coming up on the 28th of March. I have also put in all your eisteddfod entries for Gulgong!! It took me forever because we have so many dancing in the eisteddfods this year which is great!! We are very excited for it to begin. Now we need to organise some costumes!!
I just wanted to let you know i'm having a lot of trouble trying to get our new photos on here.. I think its because we have so many now! but I am trying to fix it asap.
Thankyou to everyone for showing so much enthusiasm for your dancing this year!

New Premises!!

Just so you all know we will have a fantastic new place to dance in next year at the Gulgong Memorial Hall and we will be getting mirrors for you all to watch yourselves dancing!!

Update for Term One

Term one has started back so welcome back all our students from last year and our new ones. We are very proud to say that over 100 students are now enrolled to dance with us in 2008, a great number considering we had 75 last year and we're only a small country town! We look forward to working with you all.
This term we will be concentrating on getting organised for the Gulgong Show, early March and the Gulgong Eisteddfod, first week in May.
There will also be some small changes to the timetable in the next couple of weeks but we will give you notice beforehand.
I want to thank parents for waiting outside while your childs class is in progress, we find that the children concentrate more and are less distracted.
Last of all, I wanted to remind you all to look at our concert photos if you haven't already ordered some as we won't have them for much longer. Our DVD is in the process of being fixed as some dances were missed on the DVD so we need to get the original off the videographer and we are trying very hard to do that as quickly as possible!

**The timetable tab is in the process of being updated. In the meantime you can get copies of our timetable from us during classtimes. Thanks for being patient**

Congratulations everyone! You all did a fantastic job in the concert and we are so proud of you all.
Thankyou so much to the parents, you don't get enough credit for all of your hard work and thankyou for being so co-operative in my first year with the school. I really appreciate it.
All of the helpers in the concert, the parents that helped out the back and Mark Harris for a taping our concert. Julie Gillan for taking the photos, they are absolutely beautiful.
Bathurst Sound and Lighting did a fantastic job with the music and the lights so thankyou very much guys.
On behalf of Kate and I, we cannot describe how happy we are with your performances in the concert. You were all just so wonderful.
DVD's and photos from the concert are available in 2008, we also have spare copies of the programme if anybody missed out.
Don't forget out enrolment day on the 1st Feb, followed by the dance workshops on the 8th, 9th and 10th of Feb which is $15 per class or $40 for all classes. We recommend that you attend all four if you are unsure of what classes you want to take in 2008 to help make the decision!

To all of the parents and students, have a MAGICAL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR and we'll see you on the 1st of Feb 2008!!!
