February 2023 Newsletter

Dear Parents/Students, 

February is the month for love and CBA will celebrate Valentine’s Day by inviting all dance lovers to dress for class in red, white or pink on Tuesday, Feb. 14th ! BAE Mentor/ Mentees will have a Valentine exchange of treats at the BAE Valentine Party on Saturday, Feb. 11th at 1:30-2:15 p.m. All BAE, Junior Ensemble members and Apprentices are encouraged to attend.

Exciting plans are in effect for Concert 2023, featuring the classical ballet Snow White. Concert 2023 performances will be held at the Kenmore Middle School Theatre in Falls Church on Saturday and Sunday, June 17th and 18th both at 3:00 p.m. Dress Rehearsals will be held Thursday and Friday evenings, June 15th and 16th and are mandatory for all performers. The June Concert performance fee of $50 is due by Saturday, February 11th.

The February Rehearsal Schedule for Snow White is now available. Please check the CBA Scoop and/ or bulletin board weekly for possible schedule changes. Most groups will only be required to attend rehearsal once a month on Saturdays, leading up to the month of May. Most children’s classes will primarily practice within class time.

Pre-Pointe students were fitted for their first pointe shoes recently. Miss Annah and Miss Leanne created a video tutorial for sewing pointe shoes youtu.be/Pb-MHTnId2o

The studio will be open for classes on President’s Day, Mon., Feb. 20th.

We look forward to our first ever BATJE performance, celebrating our dedicated Tap and Jazz students at CBA! The dancers will perform for Insight Memory Care for Seniors at CBA on Friday, March 3rd at 1:00 p.m. We congratulate Ms. Caitlin on her hard work in putting together this very entertaining performance. We look forward to supporting the dancers on March 3rd.
​
Have a heart-warming and fun Valentine’s Day!
Sincerely,

Debra Savage and Dustin Kimball,
Directors
