A message from Robin...

COMPANY - 2010

Great work at auditions, Dancers! We are so excited for another competition/performance season to begin!

As you look at the company placements for this year for the first time, please remember that we need each company group to have strength in it! We need leaders in each group. In figuring out the company groups, we took each dancer's audition scores/comments from the judges, their rehearsal and performance attendance from last year, maturity level, age, height, work ethic, and dance style strengths (i.e. a strong hip-hopper, tapper, etc.) into account. We had a lot of factors to consider, and we feel that the dancers in each of these groups will dance very well together this year! The dancers in each group will dance with that particular group for the Omaha competition. For our Easter production, the Tuesday companies will dance together and the later Thursday companies will dance together. All company dancers will perform together in the Minneapolis competition TAMJAMS routine! We are a team! Let's support each other and move into the new dance year with our goals set high, positive attitudes, and great enthusiasm!

Company dancers, you will receive your judges scores, comments, and rank at your first company class!

Company audition update!

Hey dancers!

Miss Robin and Miss Melissa have decided that only the jazz and hip-hop routines will be performed at company auditions on Saturday.  Please focus on those 2 routines from camp!  You will not be performing the lyrical or tap routines.

See you Saturday!

Check out some great pictures!

Hey dancers and dance families!

If you want to see and maybe even purchase some great photos from the 2010 dance recital, iDance, check out the ones taken by Amy Vande Vegte at http://capturedntime.zenfolio.com/2010rsdrecital.

You can browse the photos by the song titles, and if you see one that you like, click on "buy" at the top right.  Amy has GREAT photos of all of the dancers!

New blog!

Hey all!

Welcome to the new blog for Robin's School of Dance in Sioux Center, Iowa.  Soon, you will be able to check here for all kinds of info from RSD.  Some things to look forward to: Senior Spotlight, Competition Updates, Meet the Teachers, Announcements, Reminders, and Meet the ______ Company (spotlighting the different Company groups throughout the year).

Current information to be aware of:

Company auditions are this Saturday.  Auditions are at the studio from 9-11am for dancers ages 7-12, and from 10:30am to 1pm for dancers ages 13 and older.  Please follow traditional studio dress code and be prepared to perform routines learned at camp.  Older dancers should have a short solo prepared (can be any style, approximately 4-8 counts of 8 in length).

There is an additional registration/open house day on August 26 from 6pm-9pm.  If you missed registration, want to sign up for additional classes, or know someone who would like to get involved in dance, we look forward to seeing you there.

Classes start at both the Sioux Center and Rock Rapids studios on September 7.

Thanks!

PS:  If you have fun pictures that you would like to see on the blog, please let me know - I'd be happy to post them!
