GUEST choreographer for DANCE 3!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!
 

We have something unique and very special for Dance 3 this year!  We are going to bring in a guest choreographer from Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company to set a piece on our class!  Usually this experience only happens with the dance company.  This has never been done before with a non-company class, but I believe our dancers can do it!

 

Our guest choreographer only has one week leave from the company to do this, therefore, we need everyone in attendance each class period.  We will also need to have a few after school practices to get the piece done.  Plan on 1 hour right after school on Mon, Wed, Fri of next week (Feb 3-7th).

 

In order to cover the cost of bringing in this guest artist ($300 plus gas), I would like to ask for a voluntary donation of $10-20 per student.  I will set up an account in the school's finance office under "Dance 3 Guest Choreography."  

 

This is such an awesome experience, and I know the choreographer personally, and she is FANTASTIC!  It will be a great learning experience all crammed into one week!  

 

Thanks for your support.
