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.
