FairyTale Camp Added to Our July Schedule

Due to demand, the Lexington Studio has added an additional FairyTale Adventure Camp for ages 3-5 year olds, in July.  The camp is scheduled for July 11-14 from 1:00 to 2:30.  If there are any other interested students, please call our studios or email us at dance@cdestudios.org.

 
Lexington Studio Renovations Underway
Renovations are now underway for our Lexington Studio, which will be moving downstairs in the Old Mill.  Many of our parents have volunteered to help put the new floors down, paint, and move costumes and equipment.  It is our goal to have the new studios up and running at the start of our 2005-2006 school year.  Our new studio space will include three studios, large, medium, and small, with a dressing room and small lobby area all inclusive.  Each studio will include a sprung floor laid with marley and mirrors.  We are very excited about this new space, and hope you will join us for a grand opening celebration of this studio.  We do have some volunteers, but if you would like to help with this renovation project, please email us at volunteer@cdestudios.org.
 
CDE Student Going Away for the Summer

The Center for Dance Education encourages all of our pre-professional dancers to embrace the summer as an opportunity for enrichment.  Dance Companies and Schools across the United States offer summer intensives, which allow dancers to challenge their techniques and develop their potential.  Regardless of the careers they pursue, these opportunities allow students to create new friendships and gain in experiences that will last a lifetime.

Many of our students will be gaining their summer enrichment right here in Columbia, SC.  We congratulate all those students who will be participating in the Carolina Ballets Summer Academy and CDE’s Intensive Workshop.  CDE would also like to recognize the following dancers who will be participating in summer intensives outside the area: 

Christina Fipps - The Rock School, Jacki Michaelson – Ballet Magnificat!, Dani Riccardi – American Ballet Theatre, Caroline Richardson – American Ballet Theatre, Lauren Shankle – Pacific Northwestern Ballet, Raven Thomas-Smith – The Rock School, and Anna Varn – Boston Ballet.

To find out more about when to audition and how to pick out the right program for you, please email your questions to summer@cdestudios.org.  We would love to help answer any questions you have.
