A Grand Meeting of the Crows
Submitted by Jan Bolwell on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 07:03A grand meeting of the Crows took place t Memorial Hall on the Parade in Paekakariki on Sunday November 14th.
Jan took all four groups for a class before each showed the dances they have been working on this year. Wellington Crows did their two Russian dances and part of the Brahms waltzes, Crows Two did a contemporary and a jazz dance, Kapiti Crows did their Coastlands Mall performance and Sonya and Tiffany, the latest Crows group who have only been going 4 weeks, created a lovely duet.
Kapiti Crows Sunset
Submitted by Jan Bolwell on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 03:04The Kapiti Coast Crows Feet face distractions during class.
AJ took this photo of a Kapiti Coast sunset last Tuesday evening.
We all had to stop dancing to rush to the window and watch the sun going down before returning to our work. The same scene greeted us in class last night too.

A new Crows Feet Dance Collective starts on the Kapiti Coast
Submitted by Jan Bolwell on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 22:38Jan is about to start a new Crows Feet class on the Kapiti coast. There has been a great response. 15 enrolements already and that is without any advertising!
The classes will be held in Paekakariki at the local school hall on a Tuesday night from 7-8.30pm.
Starting date: May 11th
How wonderful that I will be able to walk across the road to teach the class instead of getting in the car and hitting the main road.
That means for our concerts in the future we will have 3 separate groups performing -

2010 classes resume!
Submitted by Denise Hitchcock on Fri, 01/22/2010 - 03:53Crows are back at work this week. After a short recess over Christmas and New Year it was back into rehearsals this week for 'Revue de Cuisine' with Jan giving us a sneak preview of some 'Nigella insights'. Jan assures us that we only have 'a few more things to learn' before we've got the whole show together and we're into it! It was a warm night and the body sure knew it had been working - but it's great to get back into the routine and see the show coming together..now about those aches and pains the morning after a class.....
