This will be the last email update you get from me. The rest will be from Kevin. If you have not gotten an email from him within a week, then email back (he will be the one who now receives the emails sent to the studio), and ask him to double check you are on the new list. I would like to thank you and all the other students. You have made my time at Destine Dance one of the experiences that will remain the most memorable in my life. I was very touched by the gifts and the cards that I (and Sophie) received in the last week. It was my goal to make dance an important part of people's lives, and the messages on those cards told me that had been achieved. I would like to stay in touch so please connect with me on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/clint.steele or, if it suits you more, on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/clint-steele/.
I am happy to connect with you, but I don't like to be pushy in this context so I did not send many requests. Although I did connect with some for peripheral reasons. Either way, I am happy to connect so send me an invite if you would like to stay in touch. I would also like to thank the staff. I am always most supportive of them because they are the ones who make the studio work and provide the excellent service you enjoy. Finally, if you would like to keep dancing socially withe me, then join the meetup group - https://www.meetup.com/destinedance/ I will hopefully see you on the dance floor in the future Clint

Awards are this week, so:
Thanks for those of you who got back to us about not getting the email from Kevin last week. We will update the details our end, and send another test to ensure we have everyone. That way the transition to Kevin taking over next year will be smoother. Finally, check out our new teacher Jei - https://www.destinedance.com.au/jei.html www.destinedance.com.au/jei.html See you on the dance floor Clint As the heading clearly explicates - the awards are not far off. Just a bit over two weeks in fact.
If you are going for your awards, then please double check you got an email from me about them over the weekend. If you did not, then we might have missed you - let me know. If you want to be a guest or you want guests to come along, then tickets can be secured here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p40/November_2024_Awards_night_-_Destine_Dance.html. It will be an even better night because we will also have a performance from a nearby studio - Canon Dance House. And it will be the last one for the year as well as being the last one with me so come along to see the year out and say goodbye. Finally, with regards to the awards, let me know if you want to be in the friendly comp. You can dance with whom you wish, dance what you like, and dance to the song you choose. Classes this week:
See you on the dance floor Clint This is not the usual date the update goes out on, but because of the nature of this week, I wanted to send it early.
I mentioned it some time back, but remember that there are no classes on Monday. So classes this week are:
Because there is no class on Monday night, you might like to go to this cup eve event at the Dutch Club:
And remember the awards are coming, you need to:
See you on the dance floor Clint First off, I have a favour to ask.
I am in the process of promoting the studio as much as possible so it is in a strong position for the handover next year. This is so the studio can be fun and vibrant for you and others from the start of 2025 and onward. To help with this, I would like you to like and comment upon one or both of the following:
Thanks in advance for doing that. Now on to other things. Because I will be handing over to Kevin at the end of the year, I am only taking on the occasional private student. Others student enquiries are going to the other teachers (https://www.destinedance.com.au/our-teachers.html). If you want a few casual private lessons to sort out any aspects of your dance, then contact me so we can organise them. It's a great chance to resolve or learn something you have always wanted to. We also have awards coming up in about a month (27 Nov). So make sure your teacher has everything recorded. Also, guests can secure their tickets here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/awards-night.html. Finally, we have a new cycle of group classes starting this week. So join us now if you have been wanting to do so:
And, again, thanks in advance for liking those videos and commenting upon them. See you on the dance floor Clint I was going to mention awards, but we still have a bit of time for that.
I was then going to let you know the floor is clean after Monday's happening, but I mentioned that action was being taken in class. Then I thought I could mention how we have again had some odd behaviour from students, but it's not a big deal given how you (and the others who stick at dance) are great - but I have mentioned how you are a great group before. And then I recalled that the new cycle starts, and you can let others know about the 4 week program coming up - https://www.destinedance.com.au/intro-4weeks.html - but you know that and I mentioned it already. So all I can do is let you know about the group classes this week:
See you on the dance floor Clint Steele We are in week 5 of the current 6 week cycle of group classes. The lessons are:
Now let's talk social outings. We have not yet been to a kizomba event even though we have done it frequently. Therefore, we shall go to one of my favourite kizomba events - https://www.facebook.com/groups/463352388342184/posts/1260143601996388/ The details are:
Finally, please note the following dates:
See you on the dance floor Clint Steele First off, awards are actually not that far away. So:
Tickets may be secured here - https://www.destinedance.com.au/awards-night.html Second off, group classes this week:
I recall that the issue of timing was raised in the survey so we will try some timing exercises this week. Note, it will be an experiment so please be understanding and also let us know if you have any ideas afterward to make it better. Third and finally, I will likely keep on running the social events next year when Kevin is taking over the studio. We are not yet sure exactly how the tasks (studio management and social outings) will be split between me and Kevin. But to ensure you do not miss out on anything, it would be good to ensure you join our meetup group - https://www.meetup.com/destinedance/. You might already be a member - so no issue there - but if not, then this could become the main avenue for communicating the details of the social outings. See you on the dance floor Clint You might recall that in the survey there was a lot of feedback about the need to improve partner connections. Therefore, we will have dedicated exercises in each group class to improve this attribute.
The above is ideal for all dance, but if you are going for awards (the proficiency course is running by the way so here's your last chance to enroll - https://www.destinedance.com.au/store/p43/ProficiencyPackage.html), then the classes this week would serve you well. Regardless, this is a week that is ideal for everyone to attend all lessons for general improvement. Finally, let me know if you are coming to Groove Dimension this Saturday (https://www.facebook.com/events/1399389814071903):
See you on the dance floor Clint First off, let's talk about how popular you are! You might not know this, but now, whenever S&P Promotions (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063594513784) runs an event, they are often asked "Will those dancers be here tonight?" That's because people like to watch the Destine Dancers dance. You are likely a better dancer and more entertaining than you realise. Also, at the last awards night, our adjudicator, Jenny Rosenfeld, commented upon what a good group of fun and happy people we have at Destine Dance. This is because we focus on a sense of team - where everyone is there to help everyone else improve their dance ability. This was always my goal for Destine Dance - a focus on all the positives that dance can bring someone (from the social element to the beauty of its execution). So your popularity makes me happy. And in accordance with being social and improving we have the following events coming up:
Save the dates for the social events. And let me know about your interest in going so we can organise a table if an option and to catch up to get some dinner first. Get in now for the proficiency course - I need to ensure we get enough people before I run it. Second for this update, remember the group classes for this week (the second week for this cycle):
See you on the dance floor Clint |
