Our wonderful NHAPA teacher Tracy Dwyer has experienced a profound loss in her family. As a long time member of our community she has touched many lives here and I’m sure she would appreciate hearing from our NHAPA community. Her mailing address is: Tracy Dwyer 5 Chandler Lane, Epping, NH 03042

Welcome Back Workout:

ALL COMPANY MEMBERS need to plan to be at the studio on Wednesday, September 21st from 7:30-8:30pm for our welcome back workout. Please come in normal company attire (black leos and pink tights, hair in bun).

Schedules: 

We have taken the time to review schedules and had to make some adjustments to follow company ballet requirements. Please login to Studio Director to view your updated schedule. If you have any questions about your schedule, please reach out to Makayla or Kim. We want to make sure that your schedule is accurate before the start of classes. 

NHAPA Calendar:

The NHAPA Calendar is now on the website.

Performances: 

Check out the performances page in company corner. Make sure to save the dates for our upcoming shows. 

• All company students will be expected to attend all shows whether their dances are scheduled to perform or not. There are many skills that the students can learn, by watching and listening. We will be redoing some of the pieces to include the currant roster of company students, and placing all the dancers we can in any given show. I have also strongly encouraged the new company members to learn the finale as I will place them in the number when I am confident they know the choreography. We will set up rehearsals for these upcoming shows and posting them on company corner. If a student is unable to attend due to a family commitment or illness they need to email us prior to the scheduled rehearsal. We encourage the students themselves to communicate the conflicts.

Performance Page 

Gala:

The Gala date has changed from what was in the last update. Please look at the performance page in company update. 

Annual Performance: 

Our annual show at the Portsmouth Music Hall in June has been confirmed. This is a change from our original target date due to previously scheduled events. We will be evaluating potential conflicts and options for the number of shows and times. Our goal is to have 3 performances (2 evening and 1 matinee), at this time we have booked June 2^nd, June 3^rd (evening only) & June 4^th. It is unlikely we will have shows on all those days and have also posted the rehearsal dates held the previous week in the calendar online. Please note this on your calendars today!  

Workshops: 

Some more workshops have been added to Company Corner. Please check back in as more dates will be solidified. I will do my best to remind you all of upcoming workshops in company updates. 

Workshop Schedule

Competition 2023:

We have chosen to participate in the Groove Competition held in Andover, MA this season. At this time we do not know what pieces we will be taking as we have not yet started the school year! Because of the popularity of this location we have pre-registered for the April 14-16 weekend and have waitlisted for the March 10-12 weekend. Our participation will be on one of the days only (not all 3) and we will not know the specific day until later. In years past it has been on Saturday or Sunday and we will make that request again. We realize the April date is close to the Ma school spring vacation week (their last day before break being April 14^th), we understand there may be a conflict with any pre planned family trips/plans. Our goal is to get the dates out to you now so you may plan appropriately. If you already know there is a conflict please let us know so we may adjust accordingly. We will maintain contact with Groove and keep you posted on any movement on the waitlisted March dates. Thank you!

Breast Cancer Walk:

We are thrilled to be a part of this annual tradition. Senior Holly Saunders is in charge of registration of the group, students are not required to fundraise. In the past they have been one of the top 3 fundraisers! They will be performing previous to the walk and we would like all our company members to participate in the walk following the dedication ceremony. Parents and family are welcome to join in as it is a wonderful cause and a chance to meet one another. 

Here is the fundraising link: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/SCDC 

Makeup: 

The company has a makeup kit that you are able to purchase through Pretty Girl Cosmetics. All makeup has been pre-approved. If you are only in need of specific replacement makeup please reach out to Makayla (As I have some things at the studio for purchase). You are also able to order singular items through Pretty Girl Cosmetics.
