Photography Days: May 7 & 14
Clean up your act, because the cameras are back. Photography Day is coming up on May 7 and May 14, thanks to Arthur, Kat's devoted husband. He will be there taking just-for-fun pictures, not for commercial use. LOL. Be colorful and have fun.
If you want individual pix in your very own photo shoot, be sure to contact Arthur and reserve a time at a conveniently located midtown studio....one of your many perks in attending class all year.

Pointe Shoe Tip 'o the Week
Remember everyone, your new 10-class Alvin Aliey pointe class card saves you money. And the class times, noon Monday-Wednesday-Friday, makes for a great lunchhour break....and Saturdays at 6 makes a nice warmup for a fun night on the town.
Our latest installment of Point Shoe Tips comes courtesy of two of Kat's dedicated students:
1. Laura "tall drink of water" Keller is a big fan of "Happy Toes" in her pointe shoes, and has been a dedicated user of them for five years. They can be purchased directly at www.planetdancedirect.co.uk.
2. Tonie, long-time student, likes her Pillows for Pointe because its a blend of gel and lambswool. | | |
