Merhaba! Hello in Turkish!
Welcome to the Glittery Tapping Wonderland and the year 2010!
You are now reading our Taploid which is our monthly newsletter, it is available at the studio in a book, emailed to you (hopefully you get it, if you don’t please let us know!) as well as being pasted on our website!
It is lovely to see all the lovely new faces and, of course our seasoned fairies as well! It seems everything is running according to plan, a little mayhem, a lot of dancing and scores of happy faces!
The first couple of classes are always a little kooky for the first week or two of term, but things will be settling down now that we are getting to know the run of the place. For some, it is their first experience at a dance class and we want to make them feel safe and happy until they understand what the …. is going on!

Our Concert
December each year we have a fabulous Explosion of dancing!
Last year we had a wonderful day and all went swimmingly!
The theme was “Hilarious and Incredible Renditions” so each song was revamped in some way.
The theme for 2010’s Explosion is “Why did you do that!?”
I am sure our gracious teachers will have a grand ol’ time working out what to do this year!!
Our concerts and rehearsals are designed to be as painless and trouble free as possible.
Our Concert continued.
We have an evening adults show and a daytime kids show at Wesley College, on St Kilda rd usually the weekend of the 11th & 12th of December. (Theatre booking sometimes changes!)
We may even split the kids show this year, as we don’t want the show to run for 4 hours or anything hideous!
The 2 to 3 year old classes don’t participate in the Explosion at the theatre. We invite the parents and grandparents to watch the last class of Term 4 and they can be exhilarated by their fairies wearing their bestest fairy dress showing off their wonderful dancing skills! Depending on the class… they may have a little dance to perform – or not!
COSTUMES – We have an attic full of fabulous costumes, tutus and accessories that we rent for the concert, hire fee cost is between $20 and $30. (No sewing!!)
REHEARSAL – Our rehearsal is usually on a Saturday or Sunday in November, each class is allotted 10 minutes on the stage, where they run through their dance routine in costume on the stage maybe 3 or 4 times.
We don’t run a “Full Dress Rehearsal” where the show is run from start to finish as it too much for everyone. This always makes a good show as there are always spontaneous and hilarious moments and it’s always a little crazy, but we like it that way!
DVD – a professional company, who edits it and has them ready for you usually before Christmas, films the concert. DVD’s are usually around $30, which you will need to pre-order and pay for.
(We don’t make a commission from the DVD’s like most schools.)
PHOTOS – We allow photos to be taken during the concert and ask parents to come to the front of the stage and take a photo of their child after they have finished their dance.
We will keep you updated on all the Explosion information as the year passes on through the Taploid.
Discount Vouchers
In the program of the 2009 concert we had some tear-out discount vouchers for classes for new students, siblings and parents……did anyone find them!! Its funny because I think only one discount voucher has come in!
2009 DVD Pickup
Remember to pop in to the studio and pick up your DVD’s!!
Photos of Concert
Did anyone take photos of the concert?
If you have some lovely shots, please email them to Miss Lou Lou, I would love to see them! missloulou@glitterytappingwonderland.com
Please let me know if you are happy for us to pop them on the website. (Cool if its not!)
Photos in Class
We are happy if you photograph your darlings in class, as these are such gorgeous moments to capture and look back on in years to come.
Please check that no one else is freaking out about it though!
3 years and over
For our St kilda studio, as the term moves along and your children are comfortable in their dance classes, we ask that our lovely mums and dads move upstairs to the Loft. You can watch from above and your fairies know that you are up there.
This helps with their concentration and makes the class run much more smoothly.
2 to 3 year old classes, we are happy for parents to stay in the studio…but please don’t chat as it gets terribly noisy. Thanks.

Dr Lottie-
Dr. Lottie is our in-house mental health advisor, who writes a column for our Taploid each month.
Students are encouraged to write in to ask her advice.
Her answers are usually a little harsh and to the point, but deep down there is a nice person inside there somewhere!
Please feel free to Email Miss Lou Lou with your health questions and they will be promptly passed onto Dr. Lottie.
Each year she insists on performing with her husband “The Professor” at our Explosion, they are avid dancers and it’s hard to say no to her.
Always something to look forward too!
HEALTH CORNER
Questions to the highly qualified Dr Lottie Prospect.
Dear Dr. Lottie,
Lately I have been feeling a little unfit and decided to take up a long lost hobby that I did when I was a young filly over twenty five years ago, horse riding.
I booked myself into have a riding lesson at the local equestrian centre where I was to be assessed as to what my level would be and be placed in a riding group.
I gave it a good go, everything started to come back to me, I cantered around the arena, popped over a jump or two, and I felt wonderful!
Until I dismounted, as my feet touched the ground, my legs gave way leaving me trembling in the middle of the riding arena!
Embarrassed, I struggled onto my jellified legs and wobbled my way back to the stables.
I haven’t been able to move my legs for three days! I fear I am over the hill and out to pasture. Am I starting too late in life?
Signed Ashamed and Maimed
Dear Ashamed and Maimed,
This is a completely normal reaction from your body when coming back to an exercise that you haven’t participated in, in over quarter of a century.
You are not getting any younger you know. Your body is out of shape. What on earth were you thinking?
I am positive that it is far too late in life to get back into the saddle. Have you ever thought of taking up knitting?
Thank you for your long in the tooth letter.
Dr Lottie.
Chow for now, love from Miss Lou Lou xxx

International Tap Dancing Day!
The International Tap Day was so much fun!

Next year we will be really organized and will invite loads of local dance schools along and really have the bridge shaking!!

Shoes!
Please keep street shoes off the dance floor, unfortunately it drags in too much sand and muck…. sometimes even doggy doo…
We request that the hip hop/jazz classes either wear bare feet, dance shoes or shoes you have just to dance in.
As the winter rain sets in, please leave your shoes at the front door, the poor shag pile is starting to suffer with the mud that is walked in. Thanks.

We have such a lovely drama and singing class in Mordialloc on Friday afternoons with Miss Helen for 5 to 7 year olds, if you are keen on joining the class please let me know and we can pop you in.

Costume Levy!

Fabulous Cushions
You may have noticed the lovely new cushions at the Mordialloc studio!
One of out talented and creative Mums made them!
We will have an assortment of cushions on display for you to purchase!
Rowdy Mums
Just wondering if Mums and siblings who are waiting, could keep their noise down whilst the classes are running, it is a bit tricky to teach as the kids are distracted and cant hear their teachers!
We love having you stay and watch, but sometimes it is really loud!
Feral Kids
As you know the Glittery Tapping Wonderland has a caring and nurturing approach to teaching dance. But some days the classes can get a little bit crazy!
Our gracious teachers don’t want to get cross and growl at the kids, this is not what we are about, we would rather offer the non-listening child the option of dancing or sitting down.
For instance, a couple of classes that had been acting up lately had to have the big guns brought in…Miss Lou Lou…Oooh scary!
We sat with the kids and explained that the meanest dance teacher known to man… Miss Shackles… was looking for work and was keen to take over their crazy class.
The children decided it was better to listen to their lovely, sweet, gorgeous teacher; to not do cartwheels and chat through out the entire class; than to have a new scary teacher namely “Miss Shackles” take her place.
The kids have shaped up and are as good as gold!
Please feel free to reinforce this fable so that we keep the kids listening and learning.
Also mentioned was a “5 strokes and you miss the next class” program, the kids agreed that their Mums and Dads would be horrified if they weren’t allowed to come to dancing if they had been naughty!!
If you notice that your child is acting up, we are quite happy for you to nip it in the bud! In fact please feel free to act!
Questions for the highly qualified
Dr Lottie Prospect.
Dear Dr Lottie,
I am in a very desperate position, I hope you can give me some helpful advice.
I attend a tap dancing class once a week, I love it so much, but when I try to practice at home, my hysterical kelpie goes crazy. She stands on her hind legs, yelping and leaping at me, tearing my tights and scratching my legs.
I have tried locking her outside, but she races around the garden and digs up my herbs.
I have tried locking her in another room, but she yaps and leaps at the door scratching the paintwork.
I am driven to distraction and I need to practice! Do you have any suggestions?
Signed Un-Prepared and Out-Of-Practice.
Dear Un-Prepared and Out-Of-Practice, It sounds to me as though your psychotic dog either enjoys or detests the sound of tap dancing.
Maybe you could try fitting her out with a pair of tap shoes.
You could work up and act; I hear Silvers Circus is auditioning new acts this month.
Thank you for your neurotic letter.
Dr Lottie.

Questions for the highly qualified Dr Lottie Prospect.
Dear Dr Lottie,
I wonder if you may have some expert advice for me.
I seem to be in a flurry every second of the day, rushing here, rushing there,
sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I look like the Tasmanian Devil on a Bugs Bunny Cartoon.
My mind a race, my jaw is clenched, my teeth grind and my left eye constantly has an infuriating flitter.
Is there something I can do to help with my intense madness?
Signed Hysterical and Hallucinogenic.
Dear Hysterical and Hallucinogenic,
It seems to me that you are living life in the fast lane.
Do you drink a lot of coffee?
I have heard there is a very relaxing drink call “Red Bull” maybe you should try
substituting this for your daily intake of caffeine.
Stay clear of the mirror and all will be sunny.
Thank you for your manic letter.
Dr Lottie.

News and Yous
Did you know that Tap dancing alongside Ballet burns
the most Kilojoules per hour??!!
DANCE STYLE….60kg (Body weight)……80kg (Body Weight)
Tap Dancing…………….1205kjs………………..1607kjs
Ballet………………………1205kjs………………..1607kjs
Disco……………………….1130kjs………………..1506kjs
Ballroom………………….1130kjs………………..1506kjs
The Samba……………….753kjs………………..1004kjs
So after you have sweated off those 1205 to 1607 kjs, you can pop into the take-away on the way home and eat a couple of Hamburgers! (Joking!!!)
Junk food
Please make sure you children have had a substantial healthy breakfast or after school snack so they have the energy to sustain their dance classes.
Remember their body is their instrument and we have to keep it in good shape!
And yours too!
You could always black mail them!
“Eating your vegetables will make you dance really well!”
Or
“Miss Tinkebelle just LOVES Broccoli!”
End of year Explosion/Concert
I realize that it is only the beginning of Term 2…
But…time flies when you are having fun and the concert will be at our doorstep before we know it!
This years Theme is…
Cliches and other over-used sayings!
So if you have any great cliches please let us know!
We will be having a few changes to this year’s concert.
This year the 2 to 3.5 year old classes will perform a little dance for Mums, Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas at each classes studio/hall.
We find that the stage is a bit too overwhelming for the very little ones.
We have found in the past that the very little ones only become upset and don’t understand what is going on. We donÕ want to freak them out!!
Mordialloc Gliitery Tapping Wonderland will at Mentone Girls Grammar.
December 5th and 6th.
There will be an Adults show and 2 kids shows.
As there are quite a few classes these days, we will have to split the kids concert in two.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s classes will perform on Saturday afternoon.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday’s classes will perform on the Sunday afternoon.
Adults show will be on Saturday night.
Armadale & Caulfield Gliitery Tapping Wonderland will at Wesley College.
Date to be confirmed.
Caulfield & Armadale will be have Children & Adults altogether and will perform on a Sunday afternoon.
Costumes
It’s hard to keep the cost and hassle of costumes down, but we do try very hard to keep them simple yet bright & colorful.
Some parents like to jump in and help make the costumes, and some like to have them made by a seamstress (at their cost) or by grandma!
We will discuss within the class how to go about this inevitable process! Bits and pieces have to be purchased prior to Mid Year – So that they are finished!
We are now taking contributions of $25 for term 2 & 3 per costume, per child.
Any extra cost/surplus money will be extracted or refunded in term 4.
Dress Rehearsal
We have a dress rehearsal on the stage the weekend before the concert, each group is allotted a time and has 15 minutes on the stage to get used to the new surroundings.
We try and make it as family friendly as possible without too much stress, the show is not about a perfect dance, but about getting on stage showing off what you have learnt and above all, having fun!

Questions for the highly qualified
Dr Lottie Prospect.
Dear Dr Lottie,
Every time I go to my tap dancing classes, my false teeth clack uncontrollably, do you have any suggestions for this unfortunate problem? Signed Noisy and Embarrassed.
Signed Noisy and Embarrassed.
Dear Noisy and Embarrassed,
I feel your noisy habit shouldn’t be such a problem as there is bound to be a lot of clacking in a tap dancing class. My advice is to be brave and let your teeth clack in rhythm with your feet, be proud clack loud!
Thank you for your boisterous letter.
Dr Lottie.

Sultanas are banned from the Glittery Tapping Wonderland!!!
They are the hardest and ugliest things to remove from the shag pile!
Please donÕ give the kids food whilst they are dancing as they may choke on the food.
They keep leaving the floor for another mouthful …and we need to keep the dance floor clean!
Thanks!

Farewell to Daphne Heather my gorgeous Grandmother “Ma”
She passed away last week at the age of 92.
Ma had movie star beauty, grace, style and glamour.
She was a positive influence on my whole family encouraging us to pursue artistic and creative lives.
She taught me to paint, cook and to always wear lipstick.
She will be so dearly missed.

Three Glamorous Locations!
We all know our glittery Mordialloc studio, and a new addition of the Armadale hall, but over the holidays we have been able to get hold of another fabulous hall to teach from.
So now Glittery Tapping Wonderland will have three glamorous locations -
Mordialloc, Armadale and Caulfield South!
MORDIALLOC STUDIO – 2 Lamana Rd, Mordialloc.
ARMADALE – The Uniting Church, cnr Kooyong Rd & Clarendon St, Armadale.
CAULFIELD STH – The Anglican Church, 406 Kooyong Rd, Caulfield South.
Concert DVDs!
Yay! They are ready! Please see your teacher to pick them up.
If need to order one, please see Miss Lou Lou and we can order one for you.
Watering Can
We have a lovely green watering can sitting at the front door if any children would like to water our poor dry garden!
Maybe siblings looking for something to do could do a little watering!
Butts
Sitting outside we have a nifty yellow cigarette butt holder for anyone who needs a ciggy.
The local mechanics must stand around fagging on under our pink awning whilst we are not here leaving gross butts in our fairy garden, hopefully they will get the hint!
The fairies have just given up smoking – cold turkey and it is a bit cruel to tempt them with butts!
Toy Cupboard
We have a lovely green toy cupboard in the foyer full of toys for entertaining siblings. Please feel free to bring the toys in onto the shag pile to play with.
Please pack them afterwards!
Colouring In
There is a stack of colouring pages on the pink desk and recycled paper for drawing.
We also have some special books to keep their lovely artwork in afterwards!
Healthy Snacks and Drinks
Are available for hungry kids, perfect for when you are rushing after school, or fabulous for bored siblings.
The juices, milks and fruit cups are in the fridge.
First pay your teacher and they will give you a straw or a spoon.
Tee Shirts For Sale
We have an assortment of tee shirts, which can be purchased from our rack.
We are also taking orders if there isn’t a size that is right for you.
Tap Shoe bags, stickers and dance pants are also for sale.
Please see your gracious teacher if anything appeals!
Glitterization Day
If you are keen have glamorous and glittery shoes, we are having a Glitterization day!
When – Saturday the 1st of March at 3pm
Where – The Glittery Tapping Wonderland – 2 Lamana st Mordialloc.
What to bring – Your Tap shoes AND 3 vials of glitter
(Ask me about colours & combinations!)
Everything else will be provided.
$15 – to be pre paid.
Parking
Apologies in advance for the road work in Lamana St!
They are fixing our gutters, but why couldn’t they have done it over the holidays!
The best spots to park would be in Governor Rd.
Please refrain from parking in the other factory car parks, they get a bit cranky!
Armadale Nappies
Just a little reminder for all the lovely Armadale Mums…
Please pop any dirty nappies in the big bins outside, the Church has specifically asked me to mention not to put anything alien in the toilets or the sanitary disposal unit.
Thanks!
Term Fees
The Glittery Tapping Wonderland has a relaxed, creative and fun atmosphere, which is what you are attracted to and what keeps you coming back…
But to keep our nurturing and caring dance school running and so as we can pay our Gracious teachers, we have to follow a fee structure.
Term Fees – Paying the term fees ensures that you/your child has a place in the class.
We know who will be coming each week and we can control how many there are in class.
Term Fees keep the class running on time, as the teacher doesn’t have to deal with casual fees.
Casual Payments – Must be paid prior to you or your child entering the class.
Please hand you teacher an envelope with all the details filled out and $15 enclosed, please mention to your teacher if you need change!
Try Out Classes – $15 to be paid prior to entering class. If your child is shy, it may take 2 or 3 classes before they become involved, there is a lot to look at and take in, once they are involved, you can pay the balance of the term.
Make-up Classes – If you or your child are unwell or are going to miss a class you are welcome to do a make-up class.
Please call Miss Lou Lou PRIOR to the class to let her know so we can work out where you can fit in.
-Make-up classes must be made up in the same term.
-If we are not notified we cannot offer a make-up class.
-Please ensure you have paid your Term fees in full by the 2nd week.
(Unless prior arrangements have been made with Miss Lou Lou)
-If the fees haven’t been paid by the 3rd week you will receive a “Friendly reminder”
(Also known as an invoice)
After 4th week a $25 overdue fee will be incurred for each Term payment not paid.
Envelopes- Please fill in an envelope with all your details (name & class etc) pop your cash or cheque into the envelope (Your teacher can give you change before you seal the envelope) and hand it to your teacher so she can mark you into the roll book.
-If paying by credit card or Eftpos, OUR receipt needs to go into the envelope.
So that the class runs to time to pay your fees, please arrive 5 minutes earlier if you for the 1st class, or wait 5 minutes after the 2nd class.
-To receive the discount for the second class or child, fees need to be paid in full prior to the commencement of the Term. Thank you for your understanding.

Questions for the highly qualified
Dr Lottie Prospect.
Dear Dr Lottie,
I have a recurring problem that I am hoping you can help me with.
I attend tap dancing classes on a Tuesday evening and every single time, without fail, when we practice our Time Steps, my underwear rides way, way up.
It is a very annoying and uncomfortable problem and I feel extremely embarrassed and exceedingly conspicuous if I attempt to adjust them as we are dancing in front of enormous mirrors.
I have tried several types of underwear from seamless to boy leg, bikini brief and even non-bikini brief.
Do you have a solution to this very excruciating problem?
Signed Chafed and Comfortless.
Dear Chafed and Comfortless,
Have you tried not wearing any underwear?
My Husband swears by it.
Thank you for your agonizing letter.
Dr Lottie.
