Summer Dance Camp for our Spokane Inland Northwest Ballet upper level students (those who have completed one or more years of level 5, 6, or 7)…
Summer is a great time to round out our ballet study, as we have a little more time for trying new, more complicated exercises, partnering, the study of ballet history, French terms, stretching games, and just plain fun!
3:30 – 4:30 for levels 6 and 7 only–a more intense class/ballet study
Each day, we will have ballet barre and center class, work on a little partnering, enjoy a snack, watch a short dance video, study our ballet history and play our French terms and stretching games.In addition, we will do our own fun project, such as creatively painting pointe shoes or butterfly wings (you can paint your own pointe shoes and take them home, or paint an old pair of Miss Janine’s and hang them in the studio…plan must be drawn out ahead of time for this).For level 5, this will be a challenging class, which will help you prepare for the additional Sat. barre class that you may participate in next year.Expect fun and progress in your ballet study!
Levels 5-7$45
Levels 6-7$70
Price includes instruction, art supplies, fun prizes for games, and snacks.
Must be pre-registered by July 2nd to participate!

We will not have access to the Internet for one week while we’re conducting classes in Charleston, WV. Schools with upcoming classes should have our cell phone number. If you have an urgent question, please contact us in that way. Please note, we also have very intermittent cell phone reception in Charleston– so you may have to leave a voice mail message and it may be a few days before we can get back to you.

Performance season is upon us! We had our first two Inland Northwest Ballet Performances last weekend, with our Spokane students dancing to very full audiences in both the matinee and the evening shows. What wonderful support we enjoyed! We presented “A Celebration of Mozart”, and other dances, and were fortunate to have make up artist May Hafkamp and her assistant Randi Hafkamp on hand to do make up for all our upper level girls. More photos and info on our make up session after next weekend!

We have another full weekend ahead of us, and we promise photos of the upper level girls!
There is a tradition that our tours begin with terrible weather, the better to test our mettle. Last winter, we started in a blizzard in Northvile, Michigan. Interestingly our tour will end in late August in Northville as well.
Yesterday, we headed from Michigan to Ohio past some favorite cities we will unfortunately not be visiting this year. As we gazed out through the water fall of rain, Valery Lantratov asked me about Monroe, Lincoln Park and Maumee.
In spite of our travel challenges, it was a great pleasure to begin in one of our favorite studios, Upstage Downtown Dance in Celina, Ohio. This is our third visit to the studio, the last time was in February, and our itinerary has usually brought us in through Indiana rather than from the North. We had the opportunity to get a nice view of the lakes surrounding this jewel of Western Ohio.
In class, Valery unveiled his new music and new combinations. It was a great beginning, and today we’re off to Sidney, Ohio for two classes in a new studio for us , Sharon’s school of Dance.
An update on our Inland Northwest Ballet class schedule for fall…at this point, all of our ballet classes for ages 6 and up are completely full, most with students on the waiting list. Some jazz/hip hop classes are full as well. Due to our more flexible schedule, we do have openings in most classes for Creative Dance (ages 3-5).
Our registration has been phenomenal this year, thanks to all our Spokane families who made great efforts to enroll in the class you desired! We are looking at restructuring a few classes, combining a few tap or jazz classes with lower enrollment so that we may add another ballet class or two. Before you register, please ask for an updated schedule, to see if the class you desire is still available. If you have any questions, please e-mail Studio Director Janine Fraser at inlandnwballet@aol.com, we would love to help!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 8th, 2009
Kansas City (Gladstone), Missouri
From the Ballet North studios, Albert Matthews reporting:
Artistic Director Laura Reinschmidt is pleased to announce the cast for “The Wayward Daughter” performing June 19, 2009 at the Kansas City Music Hall. States Mrs Reinschmidt: “These dancers have trained rigorously for months preparing this ballet, the presentation on June 19 will cap a 10-year effort to incorporate ‘The Wayward Daughter’ into the repertoire of the Company. This is a hallmark for Ballet North and a major achievement for all those performing in it.”
(The following dancer descriptions are in alphabetical order by last name.)
Ballet North company dancer Aimee Cover is performing Carlata Grisi in Pas de Quattre and is in numerous roles inside of Wayward Daughter. At only 14, “…she is very young to be dancing at this level.” states Artistic Director Laura Reinschmidt;
Ballet North company dancer Kevin Hamilton will perform the role of Colas in Wayward Daughter. Kevin has trained extensively for the role which contains numerous advanced sequences of both dance and partnering making for a very exciting performance.
Guest Artist Aimi Hammann will perform the lead role of Lise in Wayward Daughter. Aimi trained for years with the Classical Ballet School as well as the Bolshoi West Academy and participated in Boston Ballet and Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Summer Intensive Programs, two of the hardest to earn entry into nationwide. She also worked with Tulsa Ballet before returning to Kansas City. Ballet North is delighted to see her return in this title role.
Ballet North company dancer Howard McKee performs the extremely tricky character role of Alain in Wayward Daughter. This role consists of pantomime, physical acting, and some of the most off-angle and difficult choreography anywhere. This role must be seen to be understood, but the best description would be Kramer meets Baryshnikov plus some Laurel and Hardy.
Catch the Wayward Daughter Friday June 19th 2009 at the Kansas City Music Hall. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, $30 the day of the performance. Reserve seating - call 816-513-5000 and ask for either Carla Budd or a Music Hall representative to purchase tickets or go to www.ticketmaster.com (service charge not included for website).
Valery Lantratov arrives in the U.S. tomorrow. We’re looking forward to meeting many of you on the road. In the meantime, enjoy this behind the scenes video from the Bolshoi Ballet. (It’s in Russian)
All we can say is WOW…We arrived at the studio Saturday, our Inland Northwest Ballet Fall Registration Day for current students, only to find a long line of families who had arrived very early, some as early as 5 am! By the time registration opened at noon, the line had wrapped around the building, with families camped out in picnic chairs, visiting, reading books, snacking, and taking turns making java runs to the Rocket Bakery next door. To help pass the time, Miss Janine invited families to take turns coming inside to watch our rehearsal taking place in the studio.
We feel so blessed that we have so many Spokane families willing to do what it takes to secure a spot in the class they desire…If you were one of those families…THANK YOU, WE TRULY LOVE YOU!
For new students, registration begins today, Monday June 8th. However, many classes are full, so please check the list below before you fill out your registration form. If you need a form, send us an e-mail (inlandnwballet@aol.com, or use the link to the right) and we will be happy to send you one ASAP. If you have questions, we will be happy to help you try to find a suitable class that your child will find fun and rewarding!

E-mail Studio Director Janine Fraser regarding classes for levels V and above…
It is hard to believe that we start another U.S. tour in a little more than a week. We always enjoy keeping you informed of our travels. In the past, we wrote extensive blog articles about all of our cities and studios. Unfortunately, this does get to be time consuming and hard to maintain. During the last tour we simply had no time for those kinds of updates. So we’re trying something new and have started a Twitter account. We will provide brief updates of our journey on Twitter and Facebook and only the occasional blog posting about where we’ve been. We hope you will “follow” us and “friend” us.
Yes, it is almost that time again. Valery Lantratov arrives from Moscow on June 9th and another tour begins. We will be focusing our attentions primarily on the Midwest this time around. We will be visiting a couple of new states: Missouri and Iowa. Be sure to watch
this space as we report on our travels.
I am also sharing this pdf version of Dance Now, which I recently discovered on line. The magazine features a long interview with Alexei Ratmansky on leaving his position as Bolshoi Ballet artistic director. I pass it along because it is interesting and because of the brief mention of Vladislav Lantratov, Valery’s son, who Ratmansky calls “promising.”
You may have noticed that this blog has not been updated as frequently lately as in the past. Here is why I (Laura Lee) have sold a new book called Broke is Beautiful to Running Press. The publisher is so enthusiastic about it that they are rushing it out. It is already listed in their spring catalog. (This is major rushing by publishing standards)
Order a book from my website by the end of the month and you will not only get a personally autographed copy of that book, but also an absolutely free autographed copy of Broke is Beautiful the moment they come off the presses. You will be one of the first people in the world to see it! (Note: There are only three copies left of A Child’s Introduction to Ballet)
I am hard at work lining up last minute classes and trying to get the book as complete as possible before we get on the road on June 9.
This year, our summer camp will include craft activities, story time, watching a short video excerpt of the Swan Lake Ballet, juice and snacks!

Happiness, I have discovered, is nearly always a rebound from hard work.David Grayson
So simple but so true…If you are searching for happiness/achievement/success… it may not come to you, but you can almost always find it by putting forth an effort…Hard work, sometimes long hours, always a sacrifice of some kind, but it is almost always there for the taking…:)
For those enrolled in Ballet level 7, remember our photographer will be coming to Spokane on Mon., May 4th at 7:15 pm, for our Inland Northwest Ballet photo session. You will be receiving a letter on Thurs. May 30th with the details, make certain you are prepared with costume, shoes, tights, and make up. If you have any questions, please see Miss Janine ASAP!

Now then, on with the performance! We have truly enjoyed getting this event ready, and are very appreciative of everyone’s excellent work, cooperation and terrific attitudes - this makes a few sore muscles more than worth while! The dancers have all put 100% into this effort and we are truly honored to work with such outstanding young (and not so young…) people. Putting a complete full-length ballet on stage in it’s proper fashion is no small task, in fact it is one of the most demanding challenges out there. However, we think everyone has stepped up to the challenge magnificently. The amazing results will speak for themselves as we think you will be simply astounded by this wonderful, charming perfect ballet. And, we are truly excited to see this fantastic ballet first performed July 1, 1789 brought to life for the very first time in Kansas City. Bon chance!
Would you like to have Valery Lantratov, artistic director of the Russian National Ballet Foundation, host a master class at your studio for 1/3 of the regular price? We have three days to fill over the July 4 holiday. We are able to offer these dates, and these dates only, at a discounted rate.
If you have a studio in or near one of these cities: Harrisburg, Lancaster, Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Alentown, Philadelphia, PA; Trenton, NJ of Binghamton, NY please contact lauralee@doublevpromotions.com and mention this offer.
This Sat. from 10:15 - 11:45 , our level 6 and 7 will enjoy a stage make up class, taught by theatrical make up artist May Hafkamp. Plan to arrive at your normal class time of 9:30, during which Miss Janine will give you a short barre to wake you up…:).
While May will be bringing her theatrical make up, (it is very different from normal street wear make up) please bring a few products from home, if you have them.Essential products are some form of base/foundation, blush for contouring, eye liner, shadow, and mascara.There will be some make up at the studio you may borrow, but for sanitary reasons, it is best to bring and use what you have from home (especially when using mascara and other eye products).
While for our little ones, stage make up is optional, for our upper level ballet classes, stage make up is an essential part of dance performance…normal street make up is simply not professional, as you will look completely washed out, and your mouth and eyes disappear. We want to present bright vibrant faces to our audience!
Also, please note…If you are not going straight home after class, you may wish to bring make up remover (baby oil works well) and a washcloth, as stage make up may looks a little intense on the soccer field…
We are so excited to have aMay share her expertise and experience with us at Inland Northwest Ballet!
Costumes are beginning to arrive at Inland Northwest Ballet, and they will be tried on and sent home soon!
Please note that they can only be tried on and sent them home if the balance is paid in full (the deadline was Feb. 15th) so please double check to make certain you have completed payment.
What a fun time of year, we can’t wait to see the girls looking ready to perform!
Please note: If you did not order a costume, you may wish to find out what day your class will be trying on costumes, and possibly skip that day, so your child will not feel left out. You can arrange a make up class for the missed class if you wish…:)
At Inland Northwest Ballet, we always knew that when our Spokane dancers work together, they develop unity and enjoy fellowship, as well as create discipline, both within themselves and the group. However, we never knew it could work in a Filipino Men’s Prison! Watch how 1500 prisoners, some incarcerated for some very heavy crimes, work together to create this “Thriller” video, and other dance/video productions. If you want to see more videos created by the inmates, including one explaining how and why this video came about, or other dance video productions, such as the 1970’s disco hit “The Hustle”, or even Michael Jackson’s original “Thriller”,follow these directions. Click on the arrow at the lower right hand side of the box, then click on the small box above. This will give you many similar videos to choose from.
It is very commendable and creative that the Cebu Prison created this idea, and even more so, that they saw it through.
Courtesy the Boing Boing Blog is a dance story appropriate enough for April Fool’s Day. Apparently Mike Long, a Canadian performance artist from Hamilton, Ontario “freaky danced” in public places and taped himself doing so for 366 days straight.
