I am deeply excited and grateful for the start of the seventh year of this wonderful program, and I am ready and eager to get our year under way!

As a reminder, I will ask that all students bring a dedicated notebook and writing implement to every class.

We have some exciting events coming up this year. Please make a note of the following:

NV I and NV II: We will be attending PNB’s Rep 1 at McCaw Hall on Saturday, September 28 at 7:30pm. These tickets are generously provided by the Education Committee, so I appreciate your attendance!

NV II: Students will be creating and collaborating on a group choreography piece that will be presented at the Discover Dance show on Thursday, November 14 at 6:30pm at McCaw Hall. Students should be available from 12noon onwards to help with event organization, and all must be available for dress rehearsal (time TBA), and performance. Community service hours are available for those who need them. Family and friends are all invited to this performance; more information on tickets to come as time nears. 

NV I: will have a showing of solo and duet work on Wednesday, January 15 at 6:30pm in Studio C at the Phelps Center. All are invited!
