Holiday Party 2006!

NEW! Classes for 2007

Hello Everyone & Happy Holidays,

It’s almost time to celebrate our 1-year anniversary of holding dance classes at the Ceilidhe Club. We grew from 1 to 3 classes on Saturday mornings, and we now have 3 teachers helping out. This upcoming January will bring a few changes to the structuring of classes and class times. In addition, I will be offering new classes for brand new beginners (perhaps adults too). If you are receiving this message you are either a current student or you have expressed interest in our upcoming classes.

The Winter Session will start Saturday January 6th, 2007!
The Winter Session will run for 8-12 weeks. Those that have been dancing for the past year with me will be performing a jig (or two) for this St. Patrick’s Day.
A spring session will begin in April.
Classes will be held on Saturday mornings and on Thursday evenings.
Details for class times will be forthcoming- so remember to check out the class website for dates and times at www.irishdanceri.blogspot.com !

I will definitely be offering at least 3 types of classes.
1. A brand new beginner class (for students with less than 6 mos. of training or anyone wanting to continue to learn the basics of Irish Dance).
2. Two Beginner 2 classes (for those students who have danced a minimum of 6 mos.)
3. An Advanced Beginner ages 9+ class (for those students who have danced a minimum of 2 yrs.)

Most of you know which classes you will fall into for the New Year. If you have any questions please contact me.
Any potential new students wishing to view our classes before the Winter session begins please feel free to stop by on Saturday mornings- at either 9:30, 11:00, or 12:30. I will only be able to talk to new parents after class.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions, and thanks, as always, for your interest and making our first year so successful and fun!
Enjoy the holiday season!

Happy Holidays,
Meghan Kelly
