As we enter this week of thoughtful thanks, we are so thankful for such a wonderful and positive TFDE event on Sat. The teachers were enthusiastic and inspiring, the students were talented and hardworking, and we ended the day with sweaty bodies and full hearts. Dancers took 4 hours of classes in Modern, Contemporary, Leaps&Turns, and Jazz. Then we refueled our bellies and our brains with a brown-bag lunch expert panel discussion. Our attendees were 8th-12th grade, from multiple schools and studios, yet they create such a wonderful collective community when they get together. Blessed to have such support in the dance community and young people so involved in their futures! Pictures are below and video is accessible at http://youtu.be/s47bBER_8Qg
A special thank you to Quinton Weathers of The Dance Spot for hosting the location of the event; to Julia Judge (Balance Dance Studio), Stassney McCright (Star Dancers Studio), Kara Martinez (The Dance Spot), and LindseyJo Gardner (The Dance Gallery) for teaching; to Lisa Shed (Lisa's Dance Connection), Heather Hardesty (KinderDance Austin, Cedar Park Dance Company), Christine Hayes (The Dance Gallery), and all the teachers for serving on the panel; to our student officers for their help with event promotion; and to all teachers in Austin who take time to help promote TFDE to their students.
We know that dance can bring so much to our lives. Please take to time to read the November blogs of our College Ambassadors and why they are thankful for dance! You can now subscribe to the blog to receive all updates.
Happy Thanksgiving from Texas Future Dance Educators!
Sincerely,
Karen Searles
It is with great pleasure that we announce our
Fall 2014 TFDE Event:
The Dance Studio Experience
Saturday, November 22nd 9am-2pm
The Dance Spot: 900 Round Rock Ave, Round Rock, TX 78681
MUST REGISTER: Free to members; $8 non-members
Is owning, managing, or teaching at a dance studio a career possibility for you? Looking for support and advice? TFDE is here to help...
- Do I need professional experience?
- What kind of degree do I need?
- What resources are out there?
- How do I get started?
- What can I expect from this career?
Come to the "Dance Studio Experience!" Connect with other dancers who have your same passion; explore different teaching styles; get all your questions answered; and enjoy a great experience to help you in your career path! Event will feature dance classes in multiple styles from 9am-1pm and then followed by a brown-bag lunch Q&A with the professionals from 1-2pm. So bring your dancing shoes and a lunch! Parents are encouraged to attend the panel discussion at 1pm.
All dancers are encouraged to attend regardless of your potential career path!
The goal of the event is to allow our members/attendees
1. to meet one another as we all come from different schools/studios
2. to take class from other educators to see different teaching styles beyond those you are used to
3. be able to have a Q&A with teacher/owner/managers about their career paths; pros (and cons) to the studio career; receive advice on what students should do to achieve their goal
4. enjoy a day of dance together!
On a weekly basis our social media will share/reveal all of the studios that will be participating in the event! There are currently studio professionals from Round Rock, Austin, Cedar Park, and Leander areas attending and we could not be more excited! A more detailed schedule will be published prior to the event based on number of attendees.
I hope that all teachers will email, print, and share this email and flyer with their students in all ways possible! I am attaching a jpg perfect for social media! Students, share with your friends and most importantly REGISTER TODAY!! Registration is now open. Members need to register simply to help in an RSVP headcount!
