Fall 2011 Registration will be Tuesday September 13th from 4:30-6 pm. Dance classes will start Thursday September 15th.
Our Fall session will begin with some technique and drills and then proceed into drama and choreography for our 2011-2012 musical. All dancers registering for our Fall Irish dance season will partake in our musical which, annually, has become our 'formal' recital. This year's musical will be a little different than in previous years as each class will do their own mini script that will feature dance, song and acting. Parent volunteers from each group will be required to help with costumes.
All classes will be 1 hour in length and students will receive both Irish dance and musical theatre instruction.
The registration cost will be $142.50 per 12 week session.
There is a 10% discount for any dancer who has a sibling or parent currently registered with Celtic Spirit Dancers.
Any classes cancelled will be rescheduled. We do not issue refunds for missed classes.
Please note the following regarding fees for this Fall 2011 session: Because the sessions have increased to 12 weeks rather than 8 weeks, the registration fee has been prorated to $142.50 rather than the standard $95.
Please note the following regarding Winter/Spring 2012 session: Classes will continue consecutively in January 2012 with a second registration required at that time. The costs at that time will reflect the number of weeks and will be announced once dates are confirmed for the musical.

Which Class is Appropriate for my Dancer?
Group names of the classes are descriptive using the terms Beginner vs. Intermediate/Advanced and Level.
Beginner vs. Intermediate/Advanced refers to the skill set attained in Irish dancing. This is evaluated by the instructor. Everyone will start at beginner.
Most importantly is Level which refers to the dancer’s age and categorizes the ages we feel best learn together. The levels include (but not limited to):
Pre-Level I- 3-5 year olds
Level I- 6- 10 year olds
Level II- 11- 16 year olds
Adult- 17 years and up
Please note: The instructor has the right and responsibility to place dancers in the level and class that is in the best interest of the dancer and other dancers in the group. While dance is a social activity, it is important that your child understand that he/she is there to learn first.

General Guidelines
** All dancers should come dressed appropriate for physical activity.
** Proper shoes are soft ghillies. They are not required for beginners. Ballet slippers will do. If purchasing slippers, try to get black in color. If you would like to purchase Irish shoes, please email Sara or check our Shoes webpage.
** Please NO food or snacks. Water only.
** NO Toys. Dancers are there to learn to dance and despite warnings from parents to keep their toys in their bags, they are always a distraction, in particular at breaktime.
** Remember to label all clothing and bottles.
** When classes are in progress, enter and exit the dance studio quietly.
** Because of distractions, parents are not permitted to stay during classes.
** Please ensure that you know your dancers group name i.e. name of their class. It helps when reading the calendar to determine class times.
** All Fees must be paid before first class. Please make an attempt to pay at Registration. Accepting money during class is an interruption. If you cannot make registration, please email Sara and arrange an alternative time. There are no refunds after Week 2 of each session.
** Year end receipts are provided October.
**Preference for communication is email. Please add the following to your addressbook dsh.sheehan@nf.sympatico.ca
