ANOTHER DANCE YEAR COMPLETE!

What a phenomenal nine months of ADAPT exams and in-studio workshops Faye and I have had. We are sure everyone is now concentrating on the nerve racking "Year End Production". We wish everyone the best of luck for a successful 1999 show.

ALASKA CRUISE 2000

Enclosed is a special insert with details about next year’s exciting cruise. We’re looking forward to a great time so don’t hesitate to make your reservation now!

AUGUST SUMMER WORKSHOPS & TEACHERS’ COURSE

We have been working very hard to prepare for this summer’s Student Workshops and Teachers’ course. The NEW Intermediate and Advance syllabus is completed and we are extremely excited about presenting it to all the ADAPT teachers and assistant teachers. The revisions in the Intermediate & Advance Syllabus are going to make a new statement in dance across our country. There will also be demonstrations of quality routines to motivate teachers as to what we are looking for in the levels that routines are required. Don’t miss the new work!

Note: See insert for hotel alternatives for Lethbridge and Toronto.

CAN-DANCE FINALS

The 1999 Can-Dance National Finals will be held during the ADAPT Summer Workshop in the Leah Polsuns Theatre in the same performing arts complex as the Workshop.
