Dear Heather,

Frances has kept me abreast of the new premises development. How exciting; I am so very happy for you and your company. HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS.

I will look forward to seeing everyone, the new studio and the Concert in November - God willing.

Hope you are well and not too overly stressed with the move.

Sincerely,


Leah Barnett

Hi Melinda, I'm trying to reply to an email from you on info@meba.co.nz and it keeps bouncing back. Is there another email address I can contact you on? Thanks, Anna.

Hi, I've tried emailing too with no luck! The phone number for Trilby 021 4877 244 rings through to a man who is getting a bit grumpy as he has had a few people ringing his number.

Is there another email/phone address/number to contact someone please?

Thanks, Sharon

Hi Guys

Grace Gilmore is a Moonbeam or Star Fairy. I have been away and just wanted to confirm she is not required for rehearsals wednesday. Will the primary class still be on at MEBA?

Cheers

Congratulations to the MEBA team, the concert has been amazing and great fun to be part of, from the build up to watching all the kids perform. Love the cupcake creations this year also they're a work of art and were just as yummy as they looked!!!

As a parent I was concerned to learn that the New Black Swan horror movie includes graphic fantasizing about a lesbian relationship as Natalie Portman explores her darker side. The trailers do not reveal this so I thought other parents would want to know that is not just a suspense horror film but that this film has very disturbing sexual scenes.

After having read previous blog I did a bit of research into the moving rating. Most countries rate it 'R' (usually over 18). It definately does not seem an appropriate movie for our young girls. Very dark indeed.

does anyone know how much it is efor the open class?

Hello there!,
I have a 12 year old and a 9 year old who want to join meba in a private class together, is this possible at this dance school and is it too late for girls of there age to start? Neither have had ballet exp. but a fair amount of jazz... im not sure if you can tell right from this email but are you able to give a rough idea of what grade they might be in?

A big congratulations to Brooke on her wonderful performance at the Prix. How exciting to be able to get up at 3 and watch it live. Congratulations to all the MEBA teachers you must be very proud... A job well done.

Hi Melinda,
Just to say congratulations to Brooke and yourself and the staff at MEBA, with all the successes that your students are having.
I quite often check in to see how the students are going and am most impressed. I have not been doing much for Lynn GS lately as I am still trying to get my leg sorted. It has just been re broken and pinned, so hopefully will be ok this time. I did choreograph a barefoot for one girl, but Lynn has used a lot of other dances that were not being used.
Hope that this year is just as successful for the students. How is Ophelia?
Beautiful no doubt.
Kind regards
Louise Garside
Posted by Melinda on
Hi Louise,

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are very proud of Brooke and all our lovely dancers!

I hope your leg improves as quickly as possible... sounds nasty and frustrating.

Ophelia is really good. She now has a baby sister, Primrose, and loves her to bits.

Best wishes,

Melinda
