St. Paul Hellenic Dancers
Congratulations to the
St. Paul Hellenic Dancers
for their enthusiastic performances at the
St. Paul Hellenic Festival!
All levels did a wonderful job showcasing many different ethnic dances from various regions of Greece in both traditional and modern flares. Each dancer did great and enjoyed performing which was evident by their enthusiasm.
A big “Thank You” goes to the dancers and their parents for their participation and dedication to the program throughout the year. Your hard work came shining through during the Festival Performances!
The St. Paul Hellenic Dancers were invited to perform for the Arts in Strongsville “A Day at the Chalet” on Sunday, September 19, 2010 at the Metro park Chalet in Strongsville, 16200 Valley Parkway. All three groups will begin their performance at 2:45 that afternoon. The organization has a number of attractions scheduled that day and our St. Paul Hellenic Dance Group was invited to be the main entertainment showcased this year. We are honored by this invitation and a sizable donation will be made to our dance program in return. Please mark your calendars and plan to stop by and show your support to our Dancers that afternoon!
***************************************************
Practice resumes on Sunday, September 12, 2010 for all levels (following a Dance Parent Meeting scheduled at 12:30 pm). This practice will be a very important since it is the only rehearsal before the “Chalet” performance the following week. Attendance is mandatory for ALL at each level.
Parents please plan to attend a very informative parent meeting scheduled on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 12:30 pm for all three levels. We will be discussing the upcoming season, the “Chalet performance on September 19 and the Diocese workshop on Oct 2 & 3 in Pittsburgh. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. Registration for the new season will begin that day as well.
Dance levels are as follows:
Beginner Group K—Grade 2
Junior Group Grade 3 – 6
Senior Group Grade 7 and up
(Please note that children will remain in last year’s level for the “Chalet” performance).
The Hellenic Dancers plan to attend the Metropolis of Pittsburgh Greek Folk Dance Festival on October 2 & 3, 2010 at the Presentation of Christ (Ypapanti) Greek Orthodox Church in East Pittsburgh, PA. The Festival will include workshops, performances, dancing, worship and fellowship. As our Hellenic Dance program continues to grow and strengthen we have much to gain from our dancers attending this and other various workshops. Dancers and families are highly encouraged to attend! Mark your calendars - more details will be available soon.
Look for a complete fall practice schedule in the September Messenger and at the registration table during the Parish Fair on September 12th.
As you can see the St. Paul Hellenic Dancers have a fun and busy schedule. Thank you once again to all the dancers and parents for their dedication and support to the Hellenic Dance program. All children are encouraged to join and be part of the Dance program this fall!
