Pictures passed out during class this week!

Remember that dance photos will be passed out during class this week, we can't wait to see them all!  Another note on performances - All of our performances went amazingly smoothly this year, thanks to all who helped out backstage, you are truly gems!  Backstage parents make it possible for all of the dancers to sit in the wings during the entire show and watch the dancing up close, something they simply love to do!  Thanks a million!  :)

Registration for both fall and summer classes, including summer dance camp for 3-9 year olds, and ballet intensives with Sarah Glesk and Peggy Goodner continue this week!  Call 467-0765 or stop by for more info...:)

Summer Dance Camp for our Spokane Inland Northwest Ballet upper level students (those who have completed one or more years of level 5, 6, or 7)...

Summer is a great time to round out our ballet study, as we have a little more time for trying new, more complicated exercises, partnering, the study of ballet history, French terms, stretching games, and just plain fun!

July 7-9

1:30 – 3:30 for levels 5 – 7 - class, snack games, and projects

3:30 – 4:30 for levels 6 and 7 only – a more intense class/ballet study

Each day, we will have ballet barre and center class, work on a little partnering, enjoy a snack, watch a short dance video, study our ballet history and play our French terms and stretching games. In addition, we will do our own fun project, such as creatively painting pointe shoes or butterfly wings (you can paint your own pointe shoes and take them home, or paint an old pair of Miss Janine’s and hang them in the studio…plan must be drawn out ahead of time for this). For level 5, this will be a challenging class, which will help you prepare for the additional Sat. barre class that you may participate in next year. Expect fun and progress in your ballet study!

Levels 5-7 $45

Levels 6-7 $70

Price includes instruction, art supplies, fun prizes for games, and snacks.

Must be pre-registered by July 2nd to participate!

Fun at Inland Northwest Ballet Dance Camp...

This summer at Sleeping Beauty Dance Camp, We learned how to warm up our muscles correctly, and how to perform beautiful port de bras! We also learned to perform demi plies, releves, battement tendues, retires, arabesque, pas de bourree, as well as many other ballet exercises!

Of course, we got to do our favorite...Imagination Dance!

We got to decorate beautiful Lilac Fairy Crowns, and wands, and

create foam pictures of the Sleeping Beauty Story!

We sat patiently and listened to Miss Janine or Miss Kaiti read the Sleeping Beauty Story...

We got to put on fairy tale make up...oh we love sparkles!

Shannon and Maddie helped us put on pretty purple tutus! After our class was over, the big girls got to come in and dance too!

We can't wait for Swan Lake Dance Camp next year! :)
