Dear Faculty Members,
This is just a quick update to our beloved instructors
about what's going on here
at the BCCA. We've got a monster of a semester
coming up, as well as a week of renovation. Please read
on so that you're up to date, and stay tuned for our
regular, monthly newsletter early next week.
We also want to extend our thanks to all of you who
made this summer a huge success. Our Summer Arts
Program was a blast, and we were happy to welcome
many new instructors to our faculty line-up.

| Next Week's Renovations & Schedule Changes | | | We will be refinishing our studio floors and repairing
mirrors early next week
(Mon-Thurs). The main purpose of these renovations is
to render the floors more usable for ballet, jazz, and
modern dance, which require a less slippery surface.
The floors will remain tough and springy to accomodate
all other styles of dance and movement.
Due to these renovations and the end of the Summer
session this Sunday, we would like to confirm next
week's reduced schedule. The
following is a list of all of the courses,
rehearsals, and events
that are currently scheduled for Monday (8/30) through
Thursday (9/2). Monday, August 30th
Yoga Stretch with Saskia Meckman
Beginner Salsa with Johnny and Kelly
Hip Hop: Adrenaline with Sharon and Rommel
Wednesday, September 1st
Tap Dance Master Class with Aaron Tolson (6:30 class
only)
Open Mic for Musicians and Poets with Sandi
Hammond
Thursday, September 2nd
Irish Dance with Kieran Jordan (6:00 and 7:30 classes)
Jam'nastics Private Rehearsal Our online schedule reflects all of these changes. If you
have any questions about this week's classes or studio
availability, please call Dan at (617) 970-1444. We
hope you enjoy this week's break and return with
renewed energy for the Fall session. | | |
| Open House Week (September 7th-13th) | | | With your help, we have put together yet
another "biggest course schedule ever", and we
will kick off the Fall session and the BCCA Open House
Week on
Tuesday, September 7th (day after Labor Day). As
most of you know, the Open House Week is a time in
which we'd like to showcase our incredible offerings and
get students hooked on our classes. For this reason,
we encourage instructors to offer a free class and/or
demo during Open House Week to really push for
volume on the first class. The BCCA provides incentives
for pre-registration during the first week, also, which
means more reliable registration for our teachers. If he
hasn't already, Dan will be confirming details about fall
courses within the next day. This semester, we also want everyone to make a
greater effort to distribute our course catalogs.
We'd like all of our students, event patrons, and
instructors to take catalogs with them to be given
to friends, neighbors, etc. The BCCA is still in a key
growth period, and we need to continue to spread
the word about all of the amazing things happening
here. | | |
| Upcoming BCCA Performance at a Coolidge Corner Theatre Benefit | | | The Coolidge Corner Theatre, an independent theatre
right across Harvard from the BCCA, will be having
benefit performances for children on the weekend of
October 9th and 10th. Joe Zina, the Executive Director
of the Coolidge, has invited the BCCA to present at
least one five-minute performance on each day
(Saturday and Sunday). The audience for these
performances will be families with children, ages 3 to
12. If you and/or your students are interested in
performing at this event,
please e-mail Emily with a brief
description of
what you would like to perform. This is a great
opportunity to give back to our community and appeal
directly to Brookline families. | | |
| A great new feature at BCCA: Brookline Copy Center for the Arts? | | | The BCCA is the proud parent of a new
high-speed, professional printer, copier, and scanner
machine. Now, artists will be able to produce
quality,
cost-effective promotional materials to take their
publicity to the next level without spending excessive
funds. For starters, B&W copies/prints will cost 6 cents
and color copies/prints will cost 25 cents (8.5x11in). And...as soon as we reach our goal of 60,000
B&W and 24,000 color copies, we will be able to
significantly reduce to the price per copy. Stay tuned
for a complete description of the current features and
rates. | | |
