Happy New Year to you all!
Well hopefully you have all had a good Christmas, and Santa has brought you lots of goodies.
By now you will all be ready and refreshed for a new term.
Term Starts on Saturday 7th January 2012.
With your invoices this term you will all receive a sticker chart, please keep it safe and make sure you bring it to class every week.

Strictly one chart per child regardless of how many classes they attend.
We will alos continue to hand out “well done” & “smiley” stickers.
Well we all enjoyed the Christmas disco and what a bonus that the NATD examLen Goodman Annual Awards arrived in time to be handed out that night too!

New Term & Diary Dates!
Well it’s another school year and we are pleased to have welcomed you all back to JanNik Dance.
Last year finished in a flurry of activity with the Altrincham Festival performances from all the children in our Disco/Freestyle dance classes, and the RNCM show in which a number of our Children performed not only Disco/Freestyle but also Latin American Jive!
So what have we got this term?
Well, the biggest challenge for the children will be the NATD examination session on Saturday19th November at our base, Altrincham Methodist Church.
Many children from our dance classes have chosen to enter for the Len Goodman Annual Award 2011 which is a lovely silver cup awarded at the highest exam level the child currently holds. I must say they look lovely and we are a bit disappointed we can’t get one ourselves!
Other children form the classes have chosen to continue with their formal exams and take their next level.
Whatever exam the children have chosen we wish the all “Good Luck”.
We have decided on a change for this year, usually we have a show at Christmas and the children from all the dance classes perform for their parents.
It is TREMENDOUS fun and the children all get to meet each other, there’s usually quite a “party” atmosphere in the dressing rooms!
This year we have decided to try a change and organise a Disco for the children on Saturday 17th December 2011.(more details to follow)
Again this will give ALL the Children from ALL the different dance classes the chance to meet each other.
Don’t panic parents! We will be having a show but nearer to Easter 2012, so you will still get the opportunity to see the results of your children’s hard work and see how much they enjoy themselves.
Don’t forget you can let us know your views by posting on this website.
RNCM Summer Show!!!!!
Finally here are some pictures from the recent Dance show some of the girls took part in during July.
This was a really big commitment for the girls and their parents as rehearsals started way back in September 2010!
We entered 2 numbers , a Latin American Jive, danced to a mix by Jive Bunny, and a 3 minute long disco/freestyle number performed to Cheryl Cole’s “Promise This”.
There were 6 shows over 5 days, not to mention a day long technical rehearsal on the Sunday prior to the run and a full dress rehearsal on the Monday night, but it was a good excuse to stay up late on a school night!
During the classes we had a bonding session – well actually it was an excuse for a coffee and a cake! The girls all went out to a coffee shop in Altrincham, and it certainly looks as though they enjoyed themselves!
The routines dance routines had to be performed in a professional theatre in front of an audience so were quite difficult , but the girls worked really hard at their dance classes and practised their dances at home, and we are sure you’ll agree if you were fortunate enough to see the show it was worth it!
They also had really lovely costumes to wear, here is the disco/freestyle
having fun backstage!
and the Latin American Jive,
Don't drop my leg!
Little rock 'n' rollers!
You all deserve a big “Well Done”!!!!!!!
Altrincham festival 2011
Well it’s taken a while but as promised here are the pictures from this years Altrincham Festival!
After a week of rain Saturday 2nd July dawned bright and sunny, and it just got hotter and hotter!
We can vouch for that as we walked the full parade route handing out flyers!
At 2.00pm sharp we started the display in the main arena with our Elite Performance group who were followed by the beginners classes,
the beginners classes
Didn’t they look gorgeous and they did so well!
Next were our intermediate classes,
Followed by the advanced classes and finally the Elite performance group.
The crowd certainly enjoyed your dancing and we received lots of lovely compliments on your behalf, so WELL DONE to everyone who took part, and if you were not there this year – there’s always next year!
Taking a well deserved bow!
