Dear Friends,
I just want to express my sincere gratitude to all of
the teacher and school owners who have helped to make
the 2008 DanceLife Teacher Conference such a success. We
will sell-out at 550 attendees, and as of right now we
have only 17 spaces remaining and all of our vendor
space is filled.
Attendees are coming from every state and province in
the US and Canada. We pledge to present one of the most
inspiring events you've ever attended.
Thanks
again--Rhee

Dance Teacher With A Difference |
| By Jennifer Reinert |
|
Disabled? No. Handicapped? No. Determined? Yes!
All dancers face certain challenges that ultimately
limit them or lead them to great personal success. I'm
no different, but mine has been with me since my first
breath.

| Attention, Teachers! |
|
| We are looking for teachers to
interview for a story on non-dance–related problems that
occur in the classroom. If you have had to deal with
disruptive behaviors or compromised learning abilities
in your students that resulted from eating disorders or
other psychological issues, physical abuse, drug abuse,
attention-deficit disorder, or any other kind of
problem, we’d like to hear from you. Please respond to
cheryl@rheegold.com
with your
name, email address and phone number, school name, city
and state, and a brief description of the problem and
how you dealt with it. If we would like to set up an
interview, we will contact you.
Deadline to
respond: July 7, 2008 |

Ballet Scene:
Guys can get the point of ballet |
| By Marc Shulgold, Rocky
Mountain News |
|
For many guys, going to the ballet is right up there with
attending a bridal shower or a Tupperware party as a source
of excruciating boredom and self-conscious discomfort.
Ballet, they will announce, is performed by sissies for
sissies.

Higher-Ed Voice: Semester One--WON! |
| By Jeanne Fornarola |
|
| Each fall they enter the dance studio, faces full of fake
confidence or sheer panic. Some arrive for class 30 minutes
early; some run in late, in breakdown mode because of morning
alarm malfunctions. |
