Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,
This week (1/24/08), we will need to end class an early due to a Ballet San Antonio rehearsal (mandatory for Olivia and I) scheduled at 4:45pm. Olivia and I will need to leave at 4:00pm, but Alex Bowden will be able to run through dances and finish classes after we've left (so plan on staying 'till 4:30-4:45pm).
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding.
God bless
Josie

December
Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,
This is a reminder that we will not be having class this Thursday (12/19) due to Miss Josie and Miss Olivia's performing obligations with Ballet San Antonio.
Also, the date for the Ballet Gloria Christmas Party has been finalized for Friday, December 28. We hope to see you all there. All classes will be given the opportunity to share the dances/pieces of choreography that they've been working on. We would like to encourage all dancers to wear black stretchy/movable pants and a favorite Christmas sweater. If anyone would like to bring snacks (cookies, veggies, chips, etc.), please let me know by email at jsdeahl@swbell.net.
We will hope to see you all there. We pray that you all have a blessed Christmas season and that you are able to bless others with the Christ-Spirit in you.

Ballet Gloria Christmas Party
Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,
The majority of you said that Friday, December 28 (2:00pm-5:00pm) will work best for the Ballet Gloria Christmas party. We are tentatively scheduling this date, but are waiting to hear back from the Oak Hills building staff as to whether the room is available. If this does not work, we will go back to Thursday, December 27 (same time). I will try to have a definite answer by Thursday.
Thanks so much
God bless

Nutcracker student performance -- TICKETS UNAVAILABLE
Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,
I'm sorry for this sad news; I held on to the Nutcracker ticket orders for one extra week and we've been wait-listed. We're waiting on two other schools and I think it very unlikely that we will be able to make it into the student performance as a group. Because of the new limitation on school field trips, BSA had to cut a school performance. For the remaining school performance they gave priority to at-risk school districts. Because of this policy, it is unlikely that we would have been able to have tickets had I turned the forms in earlier. However, I do apologize that I did not fully understand the ramifications of the change the school performance schedule before I advertised this event to Ballet Gloria.
I will have everyone's checks and cash with your original request form at class this week and next. Please see me to get your forms/money back. If we are given seats later, I will check with everyone to be sure that you would still like to go.
Thank you for your patience.
In Christ's Grace (thankfully!)

Josie's news
Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,
Please save March 22nd on your calender--God willing, it will be my wedding day. I'm marrying Jed Arnold; if you do not know him, I hope you'll meet him at the Christmas party. He is a fully devoted disciple of Jesus. I'm sure you'll love him as much as I do (well, maybe not that much). We hope to choose a site large enough for all those we love to come celebrate with us. Ballet Gloria has been a very special part of my life; I certainly hope you all can come. Please pray for this process.
Just in case you're wondering, Ballet Gloria will continue both this year and in future years (again, as God wills).
God bless
Josie

Memory Verse for October 2007
Hello Ballet Gloria Dancers and Families,
I'm so sorry for my delay in getting you the hard copy memory verses yesterday. I will have them next week, but for now, here is the verse that we will be working on for October:
"Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you'll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God." 1 Peter 2:4-5
I'll look forward to seeing you all next week. Thanks so much!
God bless
