On a roll!

After the successful Open Day, we are on a roll again with jam packed rehearsals and a lot of dancing in store for all the members :)

Firstly, the timetable for this week is UPDATED!!! Please go check flaredance.com's timetable!
I sincerely hope that everyone can make it to most of the rehearsals because if you want to PERFORM, our first gig-- the Nightmarket event is nearing (April 7th)! Choreographers will be holding auditions very soon for those that are interested in performing :)

Speaking of which, please remember to reply Izzie's email about VOLUNTEERING for the Nightmarket ASAP! We are hoping to make profit off of this event for Flare because a rich club can bring more benefits for its members! And plus, we would love everyone to be more involved in Flare :)

Next, I would also like to thank EVERYONE for attending Open Day last Saturday! It was hugely successful and also great to see so many old and new faces of Flare dancing together :) because this is what Flare is all about- the joy of dance!

^ What a great turnout! Thanks for the support everyone!!

^ Sher showing the boys how shake that booty!
^ Von enjoying the ab workout! Hehe

^ Ness' contemporary class, so great to see so many guys interested :D

^ Sher's jazz class!

^ Our exec. committee busily signing up new members :)
^ Bboys showing what they got >:D
^ And then...our pres also joins in the breaking craze :)


^ And so open day ended with a jampacked rehearsal for Eric Goh's beginner urban piece! Woo!

What an amazing way to start of the semester, we look forward to seeing you at our rehearsals this week (on the timetable!) dancing with us! Yeay!

We also have our WELCOME PICNIC this SATURDAY from 10am-1pm at the University Square, please refer our email sent to you regarding the details for how to sign up for the picnic! It's real simple, no worries :)

An EXCITING & NEW start!!!

Hello new and old Flarians!

If you are new to Flare Dance Ensemble, WELCOME TO THE DANCE FAMILY! We all have a huge heart and passion for dance and we are so happy that you chose to be part of us! This is the first new blog post of the 2011 school year and I'd first like to congratulate my fellow committee members for pulling off such a successful O-Week!

^ Our pres getting ready to attract new members ;)

Your dedicated committee members (and Jun) preparing the booth at 9am, it's called dedication :)

Our little publicity stunt: Free yummy cupcakes and chupachups (even though most of the actual Flare volunteers took it for themselves COUGH COUGH*)

^ YAY! New members :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We signed up 306 members at our O-Week booth and we're hoping for more throughout these first few weeks of uni. According to our Pres Sher, we have also put on the best O-Week performance ever! Featuring snippets from our "Tenth Avenue" annual production from 2010, we give uni students a first glance of who and what Flare is. I hope whoever got to see the performance enjoyed it! But if you'd like to watch it again, it's posted on Facebook in our group "Flare dance ensemble!"

^ Flarians on stage @ O-Week! WOOO!

This new semester with Flare is bound to be a great one- we have so many choreographers interested in busting a move for this year's gig performances- the first one coming up is the Nightmarket event in the first week of April, so please check the timetable that will be released tonight @ flaredance.com !!! And come to join any pieces you might be interested in participating in. We look forward to seeing a lot of new faces in the dance studios! :)

I will be updating this blog regularly with Flare updates, please tune in often!

xoxo,

Your publicity officer- Jenn Ma
