Taking a Trip to DC? Go see this exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery

Hey DT!

If any of you live in the DC area or are interested in taking a trip during a weekend. The National Portrait Gallery in the heart of DC has a new exhibit detailing the history of dance. It touches on everything from ballet, modern, and dance in popular culture. Talk to a friend in DT and make the visit! It sounds pretty awesome.

Here is an article from the Washington Post that talks more about it:

Inspiration for Next DT Formal

If anyone has been conjuring up ideas for what activities to get your future children involved in...I have the answer. Meet Tera, a 6-year-old B-girl likely to show half of the so-called B-er's up around the world.

Also, I though we could use this as inspiration for our next DT party. I call the head spins!

First Meeting RECAP!

Good Morning, Dance Theater!

Last week, the 2013-2014 DT members had their back-to-school meeting where new officers were announced, new members were introduced, and a whole bunch of fun ensued (and we wouldn't expect anything less!). Here's what's coming up for DT this semester:

1) Parent's Weekend Pumpkin Patch!
The dancers of DT are pumpkin picking on Sunday, October 6th. Bring a parent, bring a friend! Come one come all!!! Here's the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/411935148906715/

2) FREE performance and art exhibit in Arlington, VA
Every semester, DT aims to attend at least one outside performance. This semester, not only is it F-R-E-E FREEEEE but it is also a combo of dance and visual art (Andy Warhol to be exact). For us creative peeps, this is sure to be a good time. Plus who doesn't want a little road trip with friends, am I right???
"Amongst the Clouds" at Artisphere
Friday October, 11th 

3) THE ANNUAL DT SLEEPOVER!
This year, it will be held at "The Green Room" aka the lovely casa of some even more lovely dance seniors. After Kate Trammell's "Namely, Muscles" performance on Friday, October 25th, DT will head over for a night of board games, dance movies, cookies, and snuggling. I wouldn't miss it if I were you.

4) Southern Care Performances
Last year, DT had the awesome opportunity to visit a local nursing home and perform a short holiday performance for the residents. Due to the fact that our holiday season at JMU is very limited, the tentative plan is to perform again on Friday, November 1st with a different (but still just as rad) theme. DT loves getting involved in the community! Get pumped for this chance to reach out to the older residents of Harrisonburg with the best thing there is... dance!

5) YuMuY hOLiDaY CoOkIe SwAp
Who doesn't love a good chirstmas or hannukah treat right before finals? On Monday, December 9th, DT will be swapping cookies (and also love) as we head into the last leg of fall semester. This is also the last time we will see eachother before winter break! Don't miss it!!!

Just in case you were curious or couldn't make it to the meeting last week, here are our meeting dates for the semester! GET PUMPED! Side Note: All meetings occur Mondays at 6:15 in 1270 (The EJM Dance Theater) unless otherwise stated!
September 30th
October 28th
November 18th

That's all for now, DTers! Have a great week and see you at our next meeting!
