The 2nd Annual GFAA Winter Showcase

I'm hoping that most of you have this date on your calendar already, but here is my formal invitation to you!

Come out to see over 300 All Stars dance, sing, drum, host, step, and ring their hearts out! I'm especially excited about our full grade-level performances for 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. They involve The Nutcracker, Polar Express, and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. You can't go wrong with those soundtracks! This year you will also see our Audio Production and Steppers after school clubs perform, as well as performance groups- All Star Dancers, All Star Crew, Showstoppers, All Star Ringers, and Drama Club. 

There might even be a surprise performance of some sort, but shhhh, it's a secret... ;)

We've had attendances at past Showcases of close to 900 (standing room only!) so get there early to get your seats! Hope to see you there!

Happy Halloween!

I hope you and yours had a safe but spooktacular holiday! This past week to celebrate in dance class 2nd graders learned some original "Thriller" choreography! I had a bunch of mini-Michael Jacksons on my hands! Here's a picture of one of our classes in their best monster pose:




Other updates:

4th graders have been learning all about swing dancing! See if your kid can teach you the basic step, the dishrag, or any of the other fun moves we've been learning.

3rd grade had a fantastic PTA performance last week with their "Bebop with Aesop" program. We didn't have as much time as usual to rehearse onstage and there were some pretty challenging scenes and lyrics- way to rock it, all stars!

All Star Crew auditions were outstanding. I was blown away by the talent at GFAA yet again. 16 fourth and fifth grade boys made the team and I am expecting great things out of them all year!

In 1st grade we have already started preparing for Winter Showcase! Can you believe it? I'll give you a few hints concerning their performance: there will be toy soldiers, mice, and sugar plum fairies involved! :)

Excited for our Apex fun run tomorrow!
