Monthly Pass for December 2009

As of tomorrow we're into the month of December. For those of you who regularly purchase the monthly passes they will be on sale tomorrow night as usual. Keep in mind that we close for the Christmas break after the 18th December.

You still have 8 classes between now and the break so if you dance more than once a week, you'll still make a saving by purchasing your monthly pass.

Monthly passes are $70 which is great value for three hours tuition and dancing.

NOTE: The monthly pass is NOT valid for entry to the Christmas Party ( final class) for 2009 on Friday, 18th October. This event will be a flat $10 rate for entry and will include a lesson and pizza! See below for more info...

End of Year Class & Xmas Party

The year is drawing to an end and with only another 3 weeks of dancing left we thought we'd start make sure you know about our fnal class of the year event that doubles as our Christmas party!

	Date:	Friday 18th December
	Time:	7:30 - midnight
	Cost:	$10 pp
	Includes:	entry & class
		snacks & nibbles
		pizza
		late night moves

The beginner class will start at 7:30pm as usual and will be followed by a dance party with extended freestyle until midnight. You are welcome to BYO if you'd like to have a few celebratory drinks...please remember to arrange a lift or pick up if you wish to indulge. It may pay also, to remember to bring something to drink out of too. :)

A reminder that the monthly pass does not include entry into this event as for this party there is the inclusion of pizza for all.

Traditionally, this is one of the bigger nights at our Broadbeach venue so dress up for Xmas and bring your best smile and dancing attitude. It will be the final class for 2009 so let's do it in style. Red, white and green is the theme so get festive on Friday, 18th December and celebrate the festive season with a final dance off.

PS: we had someone dress as a Christmas tree in a previous year (complete with flashing lights he had to plug himself into a powerpoint for....)

Dare you to top that effort!!

There will also be performances throughout the night of the 2009 routines.

Routine revision - you're invited...

If you learnt one of the following routines: Low, Burn or Closer and would like to perform at the Christmas Party on Friday 18th December, Le Step on the Coast are holding one hour revision sessions per routine this coming Sunday afternoon at Dance HQ in Southport.

The times for the revision are as follows:

SUNDAY 6 DECEMBER 2009

Burn Routine	2 - 3 pm
Low Routine	3 - 4 pm
Closer Routine	4 - 5 pm

Please note:

* You will need to confirm with your own partner (who you learnt the routine with) if they want to perform on Friday 18th December at the Christmas party.
* We will not be "re-teaching" the routines but we will be "revising" them. This means we will provide a revision of each section within the routine as a refresher and then a structured practice enviroment with your teachers for the remaining time.
* The hour will be full on but it will also be heaps of fun in preparation for the final event of 2009. We'd love you to be a part of the performances so don't think you're not good enough - give it a go and be a part of the celebrations
* For some of you who learnt multiple routines, this will mean a big afternoon so come prepared and it should be lots of fun.
* The times are set in concrete so please be there on time if you want to get the most out of the hour.
* It will only cost a minimal donation toward studio hire as the revision will be provided at no cost - other than the teachers time.
* For example studio hire divided by the number of people who participate (ie: $25 divided by 10 people/5 couples = $2.50pp)

Hope to see you on Sunday!
