An important message from our exec committee :)

Dear 2009 Flarians!

To all of our new Flare members – welcome to Flare! The committee is looking forward to getting to know all of you in the coming weeks of classes and events. To our returning members – welcome back! We know we are going to have just as much fun together this year as last.

Flare Classes:

This year we're going to run our classes a little differently. We’ll be running technique classes, which will focus on technique and skill development, as well as classes in which a routine will be taught and built on each week. These routines will be used for our upcoming performances so those interested in performing with us should choose which routines they’re interested in and then attend as many classes for those routines as possible. If you just want to learn the routines for fun you are also welcome to attend these classes on a casual basis. You do not need to pre-book for any class, you simply check out the rehearsal schedule, choose which class you would like to go to and then turn up!


One of the classes we are introducing this year is a basic technique class, the ‘beginner workshop’, which will aim to teach the basic skills needed in all styles of dance. The class will be run by Ness, our artistic director, and we encourage everyone interested in improving their dance abilities to attend this class.


Rehearsal Schedule:

Our rehearsal schedule will change each week so make sure you check the website regularly to find out when and where classes will be. The schedule for the first week of classes is now available on the rehearsal page of the website (www.flaredance.com). Please note that we cannot teach all styles every week so if the style you’re interested in learning is not scheduled for the first week please check back later for the second and third week.


Venue Locations:

We are still confirming some of our venues for 2009 however most classes will be run on campus and information regarding the location of our venues can be found on the rehearsal page of the website.


Welcome Picnic:

Flare’s first event for the year will be a picnic on Saturday the 14th of March at the Botanical Gardens. The cost is just $2 and we’ll be taking bookings during classes over the next two weeks. This event will be a great opportunity to get to know each other so come along and join us for some games and a picnic lunch!

Website:

We are currently in the process of redesigning our website, thus while the rehearsal page and home page are up to date other areas of the website are not. Please bear with us while we sort this out.

If you ever have any questions you can email us at enquiries@flaredance.com or come and talk to us at any of the classes.

We are looking forward to sharing a fantastic year of fun and dancing with you all!

Your 2009 Executive Committee,

Bronwyn, Yusuf, Shermaine and Esther
