DANCERS' NEWSLETTER - FULL EDITION

Announcements


Teacher wanted for fall 2012:
Sir Guy High School in the evenings and I am looking for a Belly dance Instructor or other dance. If you know of any one that would be interested, if you can have them contact me by e-mail at isabelle.gulli@ocdsb.ca or by phone at 613-224-2547 or 613-596-8211 ext 8153.

The classes are to start in the Fall 2012 and are programs are due by May 10th.

Hawaiian Princess needed:

The mom, wishes to have a Hawain princess show up do a "gig" for a birthday party for girls in the age group of 5-6 year olds. and teach them some dance moves for an hour or so. The dance event will take place in Orleans.

It would be June 2nd in the afternoon, probably 1:15-2:30/2:45PM TBC

Some music, surf guitar (the husband) and possibly ukulele
If it's nice outside: slip & slide, bubbles
A ring toss game & maybe hula hoops
Cake, fruit & veggies and some Hawaiian inspired nibblies

It would be great if you could be our "Hawaiian princess" and help get the kids into their leis and grass skirts, maybe some temporary tattoos. We'd like a little performance and teaching the kids hula, how to say Aloha... It would be fun to have a little hula contest, maybe best hula but if you have any ideas let me know. Then we'd let the kids have free play while we set up the cake. I think we`d just need you until the Happy Birthday song and that`s it.

If you are interested in following up on this, please email
Anna, "annasthasia44@hotmail.com" to be put in touch with the parents.

OTHER ONLINE POSTING:


For those who use Shira.net:
From a local former teacher:
"I noticed that I was still listed as a dancer/teacher in the Ottawa/ON/Canada area on Shira's site and asked her to remove me. She told me to use the "update" form at www.shira.net/directory.htm
Perhaps you could post it to your Dancer's Newsletter for a) new dancers/teachers who want to be added and b) old dancers who want to update their contact info."

Calling all professional dancers in the NCR

There's a new Yahoo group for local pro dancers in the (general) National Capital Region:
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/rakissit-outaouais/
Hopefully we can use it as an easy way to pass along local gigs amongst ourselves, work out performing rotations as needed and share other important stuff. If you're somewhere between Rockland to Almonte, Buckingham to Kemptville (you get the idea) and are a professional dancer, please join us!
Please pass this on as necessary…

Hypnosis for women

Judy White MacDonald...Nursing Consultant, Professional Coach, Clinical Hypnotist

All aspects of our lives add to the definition of who we are as women, but the person ‘at the core' is the most important one. Connection with this ‘real' self identity is necessary for us to answer all the important questions in our lives and to find that often elusive joy, happiness, success, peace and contentment.

As women, so many of us have been trained to put the needs of others first. We so often don't even understand what our needs are, or what to do about them. Hypnosis allows us to relax and allow the subconscious mind to reveal truths and strengths which might never have come to light otherwise. There are many ways in which hypnosis can be helpful to women. Please connect to: http://www.timeforachange.ca/womenspage.htm and learn what hypnosis can do for you!

Orleans Office; everyone welcome!
