Arthur Murray Coquitlam Newsletter Spring 2006 - February - 18 - 2006

Hello everyone!!

Just thought I would take a quick moment to write a newsletter again as we have so many things on the go in the studio that everyone should know about. 

First of all a big thank you to everyone who attended and brought guests to our recent guest party in February, the turnout was really great.  Our Valentines party was also well attended and we had a chance to all go out dancing at the Rotary Club Valentines dance outside the studio.  It was great to see everyone using the dancing that they had learned out there on the floor.  We are going to try to have some more outside opportunities for dancing together like that coming up and we will keep you posted on that.


Coming up this weekend...
Showcase 2006 - March 11  Westin Bayshore Hotel, Vancouver, BC

Preparations for showcase are going great and we have 5 tables of people attending from the Coquitlam studio for the dinner dance.  This is going to be a great chance to mix and mingle with all the students from the other Arthur Murray Lower Mainland schools and see professional shows both local and with our visiting judges, Juan de Dios and Cari Jo  Garcia from San Jose, California.

Make sure you reconfirm all the dances that you are doing and that you have all your costumes/apparel selected to wear for your dances and confirmed with your teacher(s).  The day usually runs from around 9 am to 5pm with a break before the evening program which runs from about 7 to midnight.  We will know all the exact details as the precise schedule is put together this week by this Wednesday or so.  Remember that the professional show by our judges will run approximately around 11pm so plan to stay for the evening segment so you don't miss out.

We have already sent the dinner and lunch numbers for the hotel but there are still daytime tickets available if know someone who might like to come and watch and support the Coquitlam team!


Sunday March 12 - Juan de Dios Workshop and Lessons

We have the great opportunity to have one of our judges for showcase come into the studio for a day.  This is a great chance for all of us in the studio to get some outside coaching on our dancing.

Don't miss out on the workshop at 4:30pm on Sunday, March 12 (the day after showcase).  Talk to your teacher and/or Barbara about the appropriateness for your attendance and the fee attached. 

There are also still a few private lessons available with Juan, a great chance to sharpen up the detailing on the dance that you have just performed or perhaps to start a new project.  Ask your teacher about how this might be a great way to add to your dancing and if it might be right for you at this time.


Saint Patrick's Day Dance Party - Friday March 17, 2006
We can all be Irish for a night as long as we're wearing something green at our Saint Patrick's night at the studio. 
Come in and have some fun dancing and carousing with your fellow Irishmen and women.  


Easter studio hours---

Remember we will be closed on Good Friday on April 14 but we are open on Saturday the 15th.


In Conclusion
The spring is shaping up to be busy and bustling at the studio with all the events planned and the great volume of new students coming in. 
As we move into later spring we are planning the possiblity of a spring "dance festival" with extra theme parties and some other fun events - we will keep you posted on when those are coming up.
Any feedback on what we have been doing or something you might like to see us add to the slate of events sometime make sure you let us know.
Have fun with your dancing!!

Your Arthur Murray Coquitlam team
Barbara, Brent, Christy, Daphne, Dominic and Sabrina
