It has been a couple of months since my last blog.  Super busy in the studio and at the music editing room.  Getting close to being done with the musical edits!  12 hours and cutting it down to 1 hour and 15 min. is a GYNORMOUS task!  Plus sewing all the cool costumes.  I have to admit - I love doing this!

As solos are being created I will hold you responsible to keep in condition mind, body and especially the feet and ankles!  There is no excuse... I have invited the advanced dancers to get in the studio for classes other than their main class schedules.

Pointe Girls.  I am setting the requirement to have  at least  2- TWO- DUEX pairs of pointe shoes nicely broken in for the FEB performances.  Now that we are doing double performances the risk is greater of breaking a shoe.

As of right now - extra rehearsals are held on Weds. from 4-6 and Sats. from 11-Noon or so.....  I have been taking features in order of appearance to piece our epic story together.  Some of you that arrive but your music up on deck, I will work something out.  Some of the later solos like Chewy, Han, Luke Skywalker,  YODA's main solo comes toward the end of the program.  YODA - we will get going soon!

Dakota has made the initial contact to do a candle fundraiser.  Hopefully she will get all the materials from our local gal by the end of this week.  Dakota is still waiting for a call back.  If this fundraiser goes well, the Custer Area Arts Council will MATCH up to $1000 in profit.  All proceeds goes to our flooring fund for the CHS stage.

Some notes as well:  Classes on Dec 12 have been pushed to Dec 14th since the 5-8 Band and Chior concerts at school.  4:30 Tap and then the 2 pointe classes.

And a final note of the day.....  As I'm always on the lookout during my research I came across the advertisement that STAR WARS - The Phantom Menace in 3D is being debuted in theatres---get this---- February 10, 2012!  A week before ours!  How AWESOME is that?!!!!!!  All I can say is Thank You God!

See you in the studio!
Love Miss Robin
