Schedule

Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,

I am writing with an updated schedule for the rest of this season:

April 9 -- No Classes Happy Easter!

April 16--Normal Classes

April 23--No Classes (work commitment for Miss Josie)

April 30--Normal Classes

May 7--Last Classes with 15min demonstration in the Mall Area at the end of each class

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience of all the changes this spring--hopefully, next year will be better.

Also, I wanted to give an update on what things are looking like for next year. My work schedule is changing to a day-time rotation that would completely cut out the possibility of doing Ballet Gloria on Thursdays. However, Mondays are completely open--would this be a workable day for you all? If so, are there any comments or suggestions that you all can give as to how to make thing better/easier for next year? Do you like the way the class schedule is now, or are there things we are overlooking?

I'd also like to remind you all about the Ballet Gloria Summer Workshop (registration form below in a separate post). We would love to see you all there! If you who have registered could do me a huge favor and email me to confirm that I do have your form, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for all that you all do for us--our Ballet Gloria dancers, parents, siblings, and grandparents are such blessings...we never stop thanking God for you all!

Grace and Peace
Josie

Classes Ending Early 3/25

Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,

We will be ending classes at 4:30pm tomorrow due to a scheduling conflict with a rehearsal for Miss Olivia and Miss Josie. So sorry for any inconvenience.

We will look forward to seeing you all there!

Ballet Gloria 3/5/09

Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,

Unfortunately, we are having to cancel the 3:15pm classes of Ballet Gloria this week, 3/5/09. Olivia and I are involved in a performance downtown this weekend, and have had a couple of last-minute schedule changes that require us to be at the theatre earlier. The earlier classes will go on as scheduled.

We will be having Spring Break next week, and will resume classes the following Thursday, 3/19/09--so sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks
Grace and Peace
Josie

Ballet Gloria will host its 4th Summer Intensive, to God be the Glory! Dates for 2009 are July 6^th through July 10^th. Please feel free to invite your friends.

We offer a daily ballet class with scripture memory for children in Kindergarten-8yrs. Mothers would be more than welcome to participate with their children, but would also be welcome to simply observe. This age group would meet from 10:00a.m.-11:00a.m.

We also offer daily intensive training for ages 10yrs. and up from 11:00a.m.-4:00p.m. Their classes could include: Bible Study, Ballet Technique, Hebrew Dancing, Choreography Composition, and Musical Worship Styles. Mothers would be welcome to participate in and/or observe all of these classes. We would ask that this age group bring sack lunches.

If you and/or your child would like to participate in this workshop, please fill out the attached registration form and return it to me (either via email, USPS, fax, or turn in to me at the end of class).

This has been a wonderful year and I thank God daily for you and for the opportunity to work with such wonderful young men and women as your children! I have been so blessed by your hard work, smiling faces, encouraging words, and sweet spirits. Thank you so much! I am really looking forward to next year!

God Bless,

Josie Arnold

Student Performance of the Nutcracker 2008

Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,

I'm writing to remind you that the student performance of the Nutcracker is coming up this Wednesday at the Lila Cockrell Theatre (200 E. Market Street). If you have already purchased tickets to this performance, please remember to arrive at 9:00AM, as seating is done on a first-come, first-serve basis, and only when the entire group has arrived. Please meet in the lobby of the Lila Cockrell and notify the ushers that you are with the Seeds home school group.

If you have not purchased tickets to this performance, but are still interested in seeing The Nutcracker, you can purchase matinee or evening performance tickets at the Alamodome downtown (this will allow you to avoid the $8 Ticketmaster fee). Unfortunately, we are out of space for the student performance for this year.

Also, please mark your calenders for the Ballet Gloria Christmas Party on December 30 from 2PM-5PM--we will look forward to seeing you all there!

Thanks so much
Blessing on you all in this Christmas season
Josie

New Class Times

Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Parents,

We've been praying and thinking through the new class-time situation, and we've decided to hold two separate class hours (1:15-2:15, 2:15-3:15) for ages 3-8. At the 1:15pm hour, Miss Olivia and will teach a class for 5-8y/os and Miss Josie will teach a class for 3-5y/os. At the 2:15pm hour, Miss Josie and Miss Kendra will team teach a class for 5-8y/os and Miss Olivia and Miss Sophie will team-teach a class for 3-5y/os. All of our teachers are classically trained in ballet, currently keep up their own ballet instruction, and teac children in this age group in dance and other capacities. Additionally, our teachers have all completed Bibleland teacher training and comply with the OHC guidlines for the safety of your children. It is your decision as to what time works best for you and your family.

Thank you so much
Blessings
Josie
