Franklin-Wrentham Dance Workshop                                                     

                                              September - October Dancenews
 

  Welcome to all our students, old and new.  We’re looking forward to seeing all your smiling faces again.  
  We hope you all had a great summer and got plenty of rest.  We’ve got some cool things planned for
  this season so we'd like everyone to be ready to work hard.  As we start back to our first few weeks of 
  dance we have a few reminders for students and parents as well. 

 

On October 1st  please remember …..We all need to be in correct dance attire. 
 For all combination classes including Ballet, that means black leotard
 and pink tights, pink ballet slippers and black tap shoes.  For all Jazz/Tap combo
 classes it includes a black leotard and suntan tights with suntan tap & jazz shoes. 
 Advanced classes have their choice of leotard.  
 NO PAJAMA PANTS,
 NO PRINTED T-SHIRTS
  & NO BAGGY CLOTHES
 

 

Hair needs to be pulled back away from the face and in a ponytail, bun or french braid.  
 T-Shirts should be solid black or WORKSHOP T-SHIRTS.   Hip Hop classes have their choice
 of attire in black with no slogans or print on their shirts.  We changed our shoe colors
 last season to suntan jazz & suntan tap shoes.   We are allowing students from
other studio's to wear their shoes until they don't fit or until Showtime.
It's crazy to throw out  perfectly good shoes because of the color.

 

 
 *
OBSERVERS …. NO OBSERVERS UNTIL  
          OCTOBER
.  We need the kids complete
      attention as a lot of information is being given.
           We find that without parents we’re able
                    to gain control of the class
                       with fewer distractions.
*Please remember to REMOVE YOUR SHOES
              before entering the dance area.  
*Please do not allow siblings to wander into
          the dance area or sit at the office end
           of the studio unattended.  (Franklin)
*Do not stand at the office end to observe class. 
            We would like to keep that area open
              and free of distractions.
 (Franklin)
     There is NO FOOD OR DRINK allowed in the
             dressing area, foyer or dance area.
             Please have your snack in the car
                     on your way to dancing.
 

     AGAIN THIS SEASON…
      The first adult to find the typo in the monthly
        newsletter and contact me by e-mail will
       receive a free months tuition for one class.
  Hopefully there will be only one typo each month.

          We are placing SUGGESTIONS & FEEDBACK BOXES in the studio this year.  My goal is to have
          happy children and happy parents.  I will do whatever is in my power to correct a problem that you may
          be having.  I’m hoping the boxes will make it a smoother season for everyone.  Please keep in mind that we
          have 18 yrs. experience and have already made decisions on certain issues based on trial & error.  That 
          doesn't mean that the issue can't be reevaluated.  We try to find  solutions that will help the largest group
          of people .

          Please feel free to place suggestions & complaints in the box if you’re unhappy with something at the studio.  
          You may sign your name or send it anonymously. Our mission is to make the Franklin-Wrentham Dance
          Workshop  the best possible place for your child to attend dance classes.   
 
    
      Please help us welcome ROSELLE FELDMAN to our teaching staff.  ROSELLE  is very excited to be on staff   
      at the Franklin & Wrentham Dance Workshop.  She started her dance career taking class in Jazz, Tap, and
      Ballet  at local studios all through grade school. In college she continued her dance education at
      ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
, then at BRIDGEWATER STATE COLLEGE. In college she continued 
      training in Jazz, Tap, Modern, African, Ballet and classical Indian Dance. At that time she also discovered
      Hip Hop which would  become her passion.  She was very active in the BRIDGEWATER STATE COLLEGE 
      DANCE COMPANY
, and eventually became vice president of the company. When Roselle has time she
      trains at the Broadway Dance Center in New York City. She has trained with some of the best in the business 
      including, Brian Freidman, Laurie Anne Gibson, Dave Scott, Shane Sparks, Wade Robson and Mia Michaels. 
      Roselle’s dance skills got her picked out of class by Shane Sparks and Laurie Ann Gibson to demonstrate a 
      piece of choreography. Currently besides teaching at the Franklin & Wrentham Dance Workshop, Roselle runs 
      her own performance company, Intensity Dance Company. Along with other Company members their
      choreography is performed throughout the state of Massachusetts.
        
 
                                                                  NATIONAL DANCE MUSEUM
     
      We are currently checking out some prices and making arrangements for our first "field trip" of the season to
      take place in Nov.   We would like to take all 3 levels of our Dance Comapnies to the National Dance Museum
      located in Albany.  We trust all out  Company members to be on their best behavior and will be a pleasure to
      spend time with, therefore, they will not need to be accompanied by a parent, but parents are welcome.
      I already feel like the year is going to fly by and we'll be faced with losing another bunch of seniors!!
      We'll be traveling by bus and I'm hoping there will be some beautiful foliage as well.  More info will  follow
      regarding bus fare, lunch etc.  I hope you can all join us.  The trip will be open to studio children if we have extra
      room.
 
               I'm still trying to find an Irish Step instructor and we're waiting to hear back from 2 Karate instructors.
              I also plan on asking for a general self defense session as well for all kids, moms & studio staff.
      
                    WE’RE  LOOKING FORWARD TO AN OUTSTANDING YEAR WITH YOU ALL!!
                                         Love,                                                                        
                                                Christine, Debbie, Kym, Arielle, Shannon, Kristen & Roselle
