2007=08 Dance with Cindee Velle

Registration Form...


Welcome to the 2008 winter/spring Dance program sponsored by the CLES PTA, under the direction of Cindee Velle. Creative Movement for Pre-K to K specially designed with the young dance novice. Students are introduced to classroom etiquette, basic floor and free-standing exercises, geometric shapes as they relate to dance, mastery of gross loco motor skills and creative movement. Ballet and Jazz I, II, and III are designed to first introduce and then fine tune the students’ skills in both disciplines. These classes are designed for grades 1-7.

Your student may bring a healthy, peanut free, snack to class in the CLES gym. Please no sticky treats or drinks per the request of CLES staff. Students have a water fountain available outside of the gym. Creative Movement dancers have a shorter class time (45 minutes) and it would be best for them to have a snack prior to class. Registration will start via student back pack starting December 1, 2007 and will end on December 21, 2007. Please send winter/spring registration and recital fees to school in an envelope marked “CLES After School Dance, Attn: Terri Chiu”.
