UVU High School Day of Dance

We had a fun time at the UVU High School Day of Dance on Friday November 1st.

On this all-school-day field trip, dancers took 2 classes taught by UVU professors, learned about the dance program at UVU and watched an informal performance by the dance companies in the dance department (Utah Regional Ballet, Synergy Dance Company, Ballroom Tour Team, and Contemporary Dance Ensemble).

Those that attended had a great time and learned a lot!

UVU High School Day of Dance Field Trip Reminder

Reminder of the all day school excused field trip THIS FRIDAY!

You must have turned in your signed permission form and your paid receipt in order to attend.

Since you are taking 2 dance classes, one of them can count towards participation make-up work.  You will also be attending an informal performance, which can count as a concert report, since it is college-level.

Make sure you read your permission form with all the details for when to meet the bus (7:15 AM), what to bring (clothes and lunch), etc.

Look forward to going on this fun filled day-of-dance with you on Friday!  Let's represent Lone Peak!
~ Mrs. Di Lello

Dance Master Class this Saturday (great for make up work)

Love modern/contemporary, especially release technique and floorwork???  

If you are an advanced dancer, in Dance 3 or PDC, or equivalent, this master class is a great option for your supplemental dance technique and can be used as dance make up.  It can actually count for me as 2 dance participation make-ups because of the time.  
It is open to professionals, educators, and pre-professionals (like the high school dancers on the Ririe-Woodbury Step Up Company, or the advanced modern/contemporary dancers at Lp).  Only attend if you will work hard and take the class seriously, as it is an advanced level!  
This would be something you would do on your own and is not a school sponsored activity.

Following is Quoted from Juan Carlos Claudio, professor of dance at U of U and RW Alumni:
This is a friendly reminder about:

*** Saturday Studio Series: Monthly Saturday morning class for intermediate to advanced contemporary dancers ***

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013, 10:00 to 11:45 a.m. 
Mezzanine Studio, Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center
John Allen (Tulane University, Ririe Woodbury Dance Company Alum) $10

Saturday Studio Series has become more affordable with a fuller, longer class for you. After a careful review of the previous seasons, and in conjunction with Ririe Woodbury's 50th anniversary season, we have revised our class format.Saturday Studio classes are held on the first Saturday of the month. The great news for you dancers is that our fee now is only $10, to take classes with the same amazing array of teachers!! The class will be one hour and forty-five minutes (10:00 to 11:45 a.m.), to allow enough time for a full blown modern technique class. These classes are truly valuable opportunities for local dance professionals to stay inspired and up-to-date!

This month's guest artist: John Allen is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at Tulane University. Outside of Tulane, he works as a freelance choreographer having set works on such international companies as Russia’s Kannon Dance Company and the Ekaterinburg Contemporary Arts Centre Dance Company as well as South Africa’s First Physical Theatre. He has also worked with Louisiana-based Baton Rouge Ballet and Of Moving Colors at the regional level. He choreographs for and performs with New Orleans-based, Tsunami Dance Company and his cooperative company, John/Allen Project, has performed in such venues as St Petersburg’s OPEN LOOK Festival, the Harare International Festival of the Arts, and South Africa’s National Arts Festival. He is active in giving teaching and choreographic residencies at universities throughout the world. His performance background includes dancing with such companies as the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, SB Dance and Steve Koester and Dancers and performing in original works by Doug Varone, Sean Curan and Daniel Ezralow among others.

Class description: A class that combines elements of Bartenieff Fundamentals, floor work and release. Knees pads or material covering the knees are recommended.

See you all in class!!

WELCOME STUDENTS!

Welcome to a new year here at Lone Peak High School!

I look forward to having you in my classes and learning from each of you.  This is going to be a great year with new opportunities and excitement!

First day of class you DO NOT NEED TO WEAR DANCE/WORK-OUT CLOTHES.  We will be going through the disclosure document, Concurrent Enrollment (for Dance 3), checking out locks, and getting to know each other.

Your second time you have the class you will be expected to come with appropriate attire and supplies.  Come with an open mind and an open heart, ready to live and learn and dive right in.

I love what I do and am passionate about dance and education.  I hope we can finding something new each day as we progress on our journey.  It is not about getting to the end, but what we do and learn along the way.


See you all next week!
Don't hesitate to contact me via email if you have any questions!

Mrs. Krista Di Lello

~ Enjoy the Journey ~

End of Semester 1 / Term 2

Hello!

I want to apologize for my absence on Friday Jan 11th.  The previous evening I went into the after hours emergency with my son, and we were both tested positive for the bad respiratory flu A that is going around and I was strictly prohibited to go to school.

Please check your grades.
If you turned things in late, I will get them in when I go to school on Monday.
Monday is the last day to turn in any make up work.

Dance 2, 3, and Company:
Many of you have neglected to turn in a concert report!  This was something I warned everyone about at the start of the year to not forget.  This is hurting your grade.  If you also have a lot of absences or have not completed a test, this will also hurt your grade.

Feel free to email me if you have questions or want to turn in work via email.


I hope you all are well.

Dance 2 and Social Dance, I will miss you and I have enjoyed having you in class!  I hope to have you in another class of mine soon!

Mrs. D
