CYS Dance 2011/2012 |
Welcome to CYS Dance. Get ready for an exciting year of dance lessons from September 2011 through May 2012! CYS is pleased to have Theresa Hawker returning as our dance instructor! Miss Theresa has been with CYS Dance for over 17 years. She owns her own Dance Studio -- T & Company in Campbell.
The dancers will learn ballet or jazz and tap. In addition, we will offer a hip hop class for those who are in 2nd grade and higher. They will have many opportunities to perform for family and friends! From September through December, they will be learning dances and songs to perform at Christmas in the Park, Yu Ai Kai Bonenkai Luncheon and at the annual CYS Dance Holiday Performance & Family Potluck. After the holidays, they will begin preparing for their annual performances at Nikkei Matsuri, Yu-Ai-Kai Birthday, the CYS Picnic and our End of the Year Performance & Luncheon. All boys and girls 3 years (fully potty trained) and older are welcome to join. Classes will be held either on Thursdays at T & Company Dance Studio in Campbell or on Fridays at the Wesley Methodist Church Social Hall. This year, we are anticipating five to six classes. Classes will run 45 minutes in length. |
