Miss Cecily Excited to Be Dancing with You
P.S. If you would like to reminisce, please scroll down to our Photos and Slideshows of "Smooth Moves 2010" Rehearsals and Performances in the Uof A's University of Arizona Stevie Eller Dance Theatre.
First, here are some slideshows from our current Fall 2010 Semester Classes!
And Now, Some Photos & Slideshows For Your Enjoyment!

Here is A Brief Review of Miss Cecily's Gentle Reminder Concerning The Rules of Daily Dance Life at Arizona Ballet Theatre 2010. Everyone who enters, whether you be a ballet person or not, must obey these rules. This includes Parents & Siblings.
When you arrive, please leave all gum OUTSIDE ABT's Doors. Ballet Dancers Do NOT Chew Gum and ABT is Ballet Based.
Please place any food-related waste materials such as Take-Out containers and Banana Peels in the trash container OUTSIDE the Lobby Door!
Change into your dance wear as soon as you arrive. Do your hair securely. Prepare yourself in every way possible for your class. Once you are fully ready, you can stretch while multi-tasking a bit re: homework, reading, texting, etc. You are at ABT to Dance... First.
Rules While in Your Dance Class,
Rule Number One is - Listen to Your Own Body. Pay attention to what your body is telling you:) The messages will be fascinating, and should be very clear to those who pay close attention...
Rule Number Two is - No Collisions. Not with the walls, not with other dancers. Be safe. Have a sense of your own personal space:) Respect the personal boundaries of others present.
We all care for each other at ABT, so be considerate and helpful to fellow dancers.
In dance classes, the rule is: The teacher speaks...the students listen.
Chatter in the dance studio can be distracting. We need to keep it to an absolute minimum. Focus on the dance task at hand. Everything else is secondary:)
Thank your teacher after every class. This is an important, often neglected piece of Dance Studio Etiquette:)
Check the studio and lobby for your belongings. It is amazing just how much stuff accumulates every week.
If you think you may be missing a treasured item, check the Lost & Found in Studio Two and/or see if your article is hanging on the Picket Fence Bench in the Lobby.
Lost Water Bottles, if unusual, may still be on the premises. Check the refrigerator on the way to the Rest Room in Studio Two. Also ask me.
Think like a dancer. Be prepared. Work consistently. Pay attention to your surroundings. Try. This is your life.;) ;) ;)
I will see everyone later this afternoon and evening. I am so looking forward to it:)
