ALASKA CRUISE 2000 CANCELLED
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the ADAPT 20th Anniversary Cruise that had been scheduled for August. Faye and I felt there just wasn’t enough interest to continue the plans. If for any reason we have inconvenienced anyone, we apologize. Marlin Travel has sent out notices and refunds to those of you who had booked the cruise. If you have not been contacted, please call Lisa at (905) 477-6700.
However, if you had set the time aside, we are doing the western summer workshop in Red Deer during the same week as the cruise was to be. So come and join us there. We’ll still have some Anniversary good times.
ANNIVERSARY SCRAP BOOK
We are looking for lots of photos from the past 20 years. If you have any shots of past summer workshops, examinations, workshops etc., please send them to Debbie Noce at:
Unit #3 1020 Walden Circle
Mississauga, Ontario L5J-4J9
They can be pictures of ADAPT teachers, your students, Faye and me, studios, the Rafter 6 Guest Ranch or anything that might be of interest from the past. Please respond if you can! We would really appreciate it.
SUMMER WORKSHOPS
Summer Workshops this year will be held in Toronto and Red Deer. There will be 5 days of student classes and of course teachers are welcome. There will be some syllabus review if requested. The summer workshops will be focused on technique, in all disciplines of the syllabus. We are also offering a different class structure this year including a Surprise Class each day, which could be jumps, turns, lyrical, musical theatre, etc..
