Memorial Day classes & a schedule change

Hello dance friends!

A couple of Le Studio-related notes for those of you looking for class in the Pasadena/LA area:.

--I will teach one adult ballet class Memorial Day morning, May 31st, from 9-10:30 AM. The studio will be closed for the rest of the day.

--Beginning June 1, Melissa Waters will be taking over my Tuesday evening ballet class, from 6:30-8PM. Yay, Melissa! She's an amazing teacher and a gorgeous dancer - very inspiring! You will *love* her class.

This weekend, Melissa and I are presenting the student ballet company's very first dance concert, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" at A Room to Create in Pasadena on May 30th at 2PM. Hope to see some of you there! If not, then in class!

Happy dancing~

Here it comes, one week from tomorrow, Le Studio's Student Ballet Company is presenting its first-ever dance concert, featuring the premiere of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," a ballet based on the novel by Lewis Carroll. We will also be showcasing some other pieces from the company's repertory, including the always-popular, "I Feel Pretty" and the rousing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." All choreography by Melissa Waters and myself; music by Vivaldi.

Show starts at 2PM on Sunday, May 30th, and will be held at A Room to Create (ARC), 1158 E. Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. If you're in the area, we would love to have you check it out. Tickets are $10 but space is very limited so please contact Le Studio during office hours (Mon-Fri, 3:30-7PM and Sat, 9AM-12PM), 626-792-4616.

See you at the show!

A busy May

The month of May is filled with great things like birthdays (yes, okay, mine!) and dance performances!

On May 16th, Le Studio will be holding its annual Spring Show, called City Beat. I have 2 pieces of my choreography in the show that members of the ballet company will be performing: "I Feel Pretty," which is a re-staging of a piece I did last year, and the final courtroom/card scene from Alice in Wonderland which Melissa and I worked on together.

On May 30th, the student ballet company will have its first-ever dance concert! We will be premiering "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" which is, naturally, based on the book by Lewis Carroll and will feature choreography by Melissa and me, with music by Antonio Vivaldi. We will also be showing several other pieces from the company's repertory, including a jazzy pointe number to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" that Melissa choreographed, as well as a contemporary ballet that she also set on the company dancers.

We're very excited for both shows and hope you can make one of them! More information below:
