Hello Dancers!!
HAPPY FALL!! The leaves are falling and the weather is getting a crisp chill so bundle up when going outside after sweating in class! We all want you all to stay happy and healthy dancers :)ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
HALLOWEEN WEEKEND
is this weekend! Please stay safe!
Also thursday is our "dance-friday" before halloween so ECDA invites all dancers to dress up in your favorite halloween costumes for class! Make sure you are able to dance full-out in your costume though because we will still be having regular class!
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL HALLOWEEN BOOTH
Some of the ECDA members will be traveling to the children's hospital Friday of this week to set up a halloween booth with a pirate dancer theme. The children in the hospital do not get the opportunity to go out and participate in trick-or-treating, so the halloween booth's are their only chance to dress up and celebrate this holiday. Thank you to everyone who is involved in this incredibly important community activity!
REHEARSAL SCHEDULES
Keep an eye out each week for changes and/or additions to the main-stage and senior choreography rehearsal schedule. This schedule gets sent out on call-board and it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stay up to date with changes. You don't want to miss a rehearsal that is on the schedule, so stay vigilant and check every day! :)
CONGRATS!!!
WHEW - so many fabulous events in the last week alone! Way to go everyone!!!
DANCE @ GOLDSBORO
Congrats to all of those students and faculty involved in the Goldsboro show! Word has it that it was our largest audience yet at that theater and that the audience truly loved it. It's a long, hard day so way to go everyone for being professional and putting on a great show!
SOTD OPEN HOUSE
Thanks to all those students who volunteered their time to represent our school at the Open House last weekend. It always makes a huge difference for prospective students to have our majors there to answer questions and show people around. I am sure you all did our program justice - thank you! :)
NC MUSEUM OF ART
A huge congrats to those dancers who performed at the NC Museum of Art last friday night! That is such a cool experience and a great opportunity to get the ECU SoTD name out there! The piece "Monochrome" was choreographed by Tommi Galaska and Dirk Lumbard and was a huge success!
COLLEGE DAY OF DANCE
Thank you to all those dance majors and the NHSDA for volunteering your time to help for College Day of Dance. There were many students from highschool who came to check out our program and they were given a great representation of the ECU SoTD. Thanks!
INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
"Merake" (v) to do something with soul, creativity, or love; when you leave a piece of yourself in your work.
"Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt."
"Never stop doing your best just because someone doesn't give you credit."
With Love,
Nicole Gemmell
ECU chapter of the National Honor Society for dance Arts, President
East Carolina Dance Association, Secretary

John Dixon
Dance Area Coordinator
