www.dynamicmotif.co.uk April 2015 NEWSLETTER Dear Parents/Carers Class Fees Welcome back to Dynamicmotif Dance and Performing Arts Academy where we look forward to teaching your Son/Daughter for the remaining weeks of the 2014-15 academic year. The class fees for this half term are stated below. By now you should have received your invoice via email with a unique reference for you to pay online through our secure payment system. Should you wish to pay via cheque then please ensure that cheques are made payable to Mrs J Nicholas. We do also accept cash too. We cannot believe that we have been open for nearly 8 months and now have over 40 pupils registered! We are therefore incredibly proud of everything that we have achieved as well as our fantastic pupils who have already participated in Rosette Examinations with the IDTA, performed in a Derbyshire Dance Festival and attended our first trip to the theatre! We write to inform you of a few exciting events that will be happening towards the end of May as well as our end of year performance sharing in July. Firstly though, I would like to remind you all of the class dates as there are a few amendments due to Risley Village Memorial Hall being booked for private functions. Unfortunately these booking had been made prior to the Academy’s permanent hire booking. Please therefore make a note in your diary or calendars of the following dates of where there will be NO CLASSES. Friday 17th April – Classes as normal Friday 24th April – NO CLASSES due to private function. Friday 1st May – Classes as normal Friday 8th May – NO CLASSES due to private function. Friday 15th May – Classes as normal Friday 22nd May – Classes as normal and Perform it Pink Fundraising evening! Please note that this is only a 4 week half term due to only 4 classes taking place. Butterfly/Dragonfly Ballet 4:30pm – 5:15pm £14.00 Modern & Tap 5:30pm – 6:30pm £18.00 Junior Performing Arts 6:30pm – 7:15pm £16.00 Senior Performing Arts 7:30pm – 8:30pm £18.00 Try a new class! (4 classes for £10). With this half term only being 4 weeks long why not take advantage of trying one of our other classes for only £10.00. We think that some of our Junior Performing Arts Pupils would love to try Modern and Tap. Please see Miss Jackie or Miss Natasha for further details. New Classes! While most of you think that we have been busy eating chocolate eggs over Easter we have in fact been planning on opening up a Borrowash branch of Dynamicmotif and planning NEW classes! Classes in Borrowash are due to start on Monday 1st June at Borrowash Methodist Church Hall. www.dynamicmotif.co.uk Borrowash Branch of Dynamicmotif! Classes will include a Junior Dance Troup Class which will work specifically on performance pieces for shows and dance festivals as well as a Junior Performing Arts Class. We also plan on offering a Senior Dance Bites class where pupils will be introduced to lots of different styles of Dance and Movement and again will have the opportunity of performing in Dance Festivals, Competitions and Performances. For further details then please see Miss Jackie or you can email us at [email protected] The Junior Ballet Class will be £4.50 a class, however if your Son/Daughter already attends one of the other classes then this class will be charged at half rate (£2.25). Please note that these changes will take effect from 1st June 2015. Please see Miss Jackie if you should have any questions or queries. IDTA Rosette Assessment Awards Miss Jackie and Miss Natasha were both thrilled to hear that Eloise Porter and Harriet Jackson both passed their IDTA Ballet Beige Rosette and that Tabatha Izzard achieved her Modern Green Rosette. Once certificates and Rosettes arrive from the examination board they will be presented to pupils at the end of class. Our next set of examinations and Rosette Assessments are scheduled for October 2015. Details will be sent out to all parents and pupils at the start of the Autumn term. New Classes at our Risley Branch! As of Friday 5th June we will be offering 3 new exciting classes. These include a Parent and Toddler Ballet Class that is suitable for children aged 1 year to 3 years of age and their parents. This class will run from 11am – 11:45am and works out at £4.00 a class with your first week free of charge. For the 6 week half term the charge is £20.00. Then at 12pm – 1pm we will be offering a Weekend Wellbeing Exercise & Relaxation class for adults of any age and ability. These classes are £5.50 each or if you block pay work out at £5.00 a class (£25.00 for 6 weeks). Finally we will be holding a Junior Ballet Class (grade 1 IDTA) for children aged 7 years and above from 6:30pm – 7:30pm. We will therefore be moving the Junior Performing Arts Class to 7:45pm – 8:30pm and then having the Senior Performing Arts Class run from 8:30pm – 9:30pm. Perform it Pink! Some of you may be aware that two of Miss Jackie’s friends have recently set up a trust called ‘Every Cloud’. Every Cloud raises funds for Derby Breast Cancer Support Group who offers monthly support meetings for anyone dealing with a diagnosis of Breast Cancer. www.dynamicmotif.co.uk Miss Jackie is a committee member of DBCSG as well as working for Every Cloud which raises money to provide Breast Cancer patients with luxury head scarves, hats and wigs as well as other treats to help them through their tough treatment regime. On Friday 22nd May we will be holding a fundraising evening called ‘Perform it Pink’. This will run from 4:30pm – 8:30pm. All pupils are invited to come to class dressed up in pink and will demonstrate their class work as part of a mini performance sharing. There will also be a raffle, cake and biscuits to buy as well as lots of other surprises! We hope that you will join us and help us to raise as much money as possible for such a worthy cause. If you would like to help in any way please speak to Miss Jackie. On Saturday 23rd May our Junior and Senior Performing Arts groups have been invited to perform their Footloose Dance piece at ‘Lodgestock’ in Alvaston, Derby. This is a family fun day aiming to raise as much money for Derby Breast Cancer Support Group via Every Cloud. Miss Jackie is delighted that pupils of Dynamicmotif have been invited to open the Fun Day by performing one of their pieces. The event starts at 3pm and pupils will need to arrive no later than 2:00pm. Miss Jackie will be handing letters out over the next couple of weeks to find out who is available to take part. We have also been invited to perform at this years Cancer Research Relay for Life event held at Moorways in Derby on Saturday 4th July. Miss Jackie first participated in this event last year, shortly after being diagnosed with Cancer. Miss Jackie feels very honoured to have the Academy perform as part of the Relay and also invites all that attend to do a lap of honour around the track with her as part of the relay. Further details of this will be put in writing to you all. In the mean time please visit: http://relay.cancerresearchuk.org/site/TR/RelayF orLife/General/390429892?pg=team&fr_id=1499 &team_id=7148 Trinity College London Examinations From September 2015 we will begin the process of working towards Drama performance examinations. We therefore hope to have our first set of examinations by early spring 2016 in which pupils from the Junior and Senior Performing Arts classes will be entered. Further details will be handed out at the start of the new academic year in September. Finally a big Thank you! May I take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support back in January when I returned to work. At present I am awaiting confirmation of my next two surgical procedures as part of my reconstruction surgery. As soon as I know more I will of course keep you all informed, but do not expect this to take place until the latter part of the year. On behalf of Miss Natasha and I we hope that you continue to enjoy our classes!
