Hello Happy dancers,

Melbourne University Dancesport Club's most exciting social dance event is approaching! Whether you're a veteran or bedroom-only dancer then the Dinner Dance is for you. We'll have a mix of music catered towards the styles taught within our club as well as other genre's such as hip-hop/pop so you can loosen up and we will be teaching progressive dances for everybody to have fun. You don't even have to know how to dance! Spectators are welcome too!

The night will feature performances from MUDC, Flare Dance Ensemble and other special guests.

The event is at San-Remo Ballroom North Carlton, on Friday 25th September from 6 to 11:30pm, as well as an after-party (to be announced).

The theme of the night is Champagne, so glam-up in gold, silver, sparkles and glitter!

But you'd better be quick as tickets are limited, and to make an already fantastic event even better we are offering those that buy their tickets before 31st July (1st week second semester) an early bird ticket price of $65. This is for members and non-members alike, so bring your friends & family and make it a night!

Reserve your early bird price now by placing a $10 non-refundable deposit per ticket with one of our committee members. Just remember to complete your payment by 31st July to get the early bird price, otherwise you'll have to pay the regular amount.

Tickets bought after the early bird period are $75 for members and $85 for non-members.

Please contact Jun Takahashi at jun_sakura88@hotmail.com or 0404600767.

This is one event I look forward to each year, and not one I'd miss!

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of love from MUDC Committee

Looking for Mr Kingston

Hello Flarians! 
It's been such a long time since the last post. oops :) I hope everyone's not too drained by studies, assignments, the freezing cold! and the opening and closing of umbrellas (seriously such a chore) (unless u have a cool umbrella) (that opens up just by pressing a button) (like mine) 
anyway,

HAS ANYONE SEEN A BLACK, 16GB, SLIDE UP, KINGSTON USB 'DATA TRAVELLER' wandering around at Graham Cornish B since last Saturday, 2nd of May?


The documents inside are really really important to the owner and we all know what it's like to lose things that're important to us.
So if you've heard any news of it or found it please contact me at publicity@flaredance.com 

Thank you! Have a killer week and weekend :D

oh no easter's OVER :( :( :(
back to reality, people! 
but that also means it's time for... PRODUCTION REHEARSALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u can tell by the amount of exclamation marks that i'm psyched! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Flarians! All of you were so hardworking at Castings last week.
I'm truly inspired by how much time and effort u guys put in to learn and perform the steps :)
Spotted a gang of you practising outside the Dancehouse building >:) u dudes are sneaky!


the back alley dancers


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm so excited for this year's production!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry :) i get a little carried away sometimes. !!!!!! heh !

Wayyyyy before that, our fellow Flarians performed at the Victorian College of Arts and Nightmarket
All I remember at VCA is that it was hot. HOT. as in weather HOT. gah! i couldnt open my eyes!!
and i swear that if i cracked an egg on my head, it would have fried itself!!! ooh.. yummy.. now i just need some soy sauce.. heehee soy. HI SOY! have u guys met soy? awesome Korean chick ;) 
and my mum and her are from the same hometown in Korea!!!!!! the world just gets smaller and smaller huh?
i found this out when Shawna assigned us as partners to give each other feedback after dancing to Poker Face. not so much feedback after all.. but heaps and loads of bonding!
Anyhooooo, back to VCA, the crowd was AWESOME! we even got an encore :D 


     VCA Cast

Nightmarket was even more exciting! Since the crowd was filled with friends and family, we felt pressured to perform better. Which is good! Nerves are good for better performance. See? I did pay attention in Psyche lectures.
And without the face painting and costumes the entire show would not have looked as amazing as it was! Thank you face painters! And China! for creating cloth. Is that right? or was it paper..
Ive never ever had so much eyeliner on me in my entire life!!! Thanks Sher for being so patient with them tiny eyes :)
OH OH OH THE FLARE STALL!!!! 
Chicken teriyaki, lemonade, chocolate, joyce shouting like a maniac... 
dang gurl, Missy Elliot all the way in the States could hear you!!! hahaha Missy Elliot... 
the Flarians at the stall did such a GREAT JOB!!! You people made all of it possible :) and of course our COMMITTEE who did so so so much to prepare the food, design and set up the stall and run it with tons of enthusiasm! Even though everyone was swamped with rehearsals and uni work, the night was a SUCCESS! 
the stall next door tried to compete with us for customers, but we beat them >:) yuh huh we did.


Flare food stall!
