This will be a unique production that will include all the performing arts and talents of our Sahuarita Community. The story line will be a family at a Christmas party. The main character, Lindsey, wants to understand what Christmas is about. She will be entertained by dancers, who tell her about the fun and joy of presents, as well as songs, music and parties. Her Dad will see her struggling to know what Christmas is all about and proceed to tell her the true meaning of Christmas through narration of the Christmas Story. There will be our new Sahuarita Singers Choir, vocal soloists, a harpist, guitarists from Allegro, our very own dancer, and much more.
Oh Holy Night will be held December 13th at 6:30 at the Sahuarita District Auditorium.

Recital News
Costume fees will be deducted on December 1st. Your teachers have picked out their songs and costumes and we will order them in December and January. (Yes it really does take that long for them to come in!) Please tell all of your friends that want to enroll that enrollment closes on the week of class in 2009 which is on January 5th. This is so we can get the costumes in time for recital.
We will be taking measurements in class in December to make sure we order the right size for your dancers. We will start learning our dances once we are back from the holiday break in January. Because each week we will be learning new choreography it is important that dancers do not miss class.
Ground Breaking for our New Studio Building
Our Ballerinas with shovels did a fabulous job moving dirt on November 7th. We had a lot of fun marking a wonderful beginning to a Arts Center for the whole community. It will be complete this summer! If you drive South on La Canada as you approach Duval Mine road you will see our sign and hopefully some construction starting soon!

Have you ever seen a ballerina with a shovel?
This Friday is your chance! We will be holding a groundbreaking ceremony for our new studio building on Friday November 7th at 5:00 PM. We will be meeting on the corner of La Canada and Gillingham just north of the Santa Rita Villa Clubhouse.
At the groundbreaking we will have a display of the studio floor and have some of our senior dancers (in tutus) throw out the first shovel full of dirt! The new studio building when completed next summer will feature two full size dance rooms as well as a music/choir room. We anticipate moving all classes currently held at Triple Play and Santa Rita Villas Clubhouse to the new location. We also expect to open our doors to other programs to include Karate, Tumbling, and Art.
We are very excited about the new building and hope you will join us for this great event!
