Ms. Kelsey's October 31, 2011 Dance Classes Cancelled

Due to the large number of students that will not be at dance practice on Monday, October 31, 2011, all of Ms. Kelsey's classes at St. Martin's Gymnasium have been cancelled. There is no rescheduled date for the class at this time.

Workshop Venue

All workshops will be held at the Cultural Association Studio. 

(Thanks for pointing out that I missed putting in the location!)

Dance Competition Update

With so many comments and questions regarding the competition vote results, we are asking for your opinion once again on this matter.  Please take a few moments and reply by Monday October 24.  This will be the last "vote" on this.

Update on Dance Competitions:

We have tallied all the surveys that were handed in and this is what the members have chosen:

UKRAINIAN DANCING ON THE BODER-DANCE FESTIVAL – LLOYDMINSTER

March 23-25, 2012

PFE DANCE SHOWCASE – SASKATOON

March 29-April 1, 2012

VERMILION UKRAINIAN DANCE FESTIVAL

April 20-22, 2012

CHEREMOSH UKRAINIAN DANCE FESTIVAL

May 10-13, 2012

Please take a look at this closely; the first two competitions are back to back during our spring break. If we don’t go to Saskatoon then the fifth choice was Veeteretz Ukrainian Dance Festival in Fort Saskatchewan April 24-27th on weekdays, then the sixth choice was Tryzub Ukrainian Festival in Calgary April 28-29th; these are both back to back with Vermilion Ukrainian Dance Festival.

What we are asking from you is to reply on Gmail your concerns and comments in which direction you would like us to go. Several members wanted a big away trip but do realize that they are back to back with these other competitions. Please reply before Oct 24th on Gmail. If we don’t receive any suggestions then we will let the executive decide and the members will have to agree. 

Please note that yellow and green groups will not be attending any of these competitions, just the Pysanka Festival in Vegreville, in July 2012.
