Western Dancers,

for 5 months worth of effort, sweat, blood, tears,
Aristal 2008.

It was a job well done, and the items were well received by the audience : D

Thank you for all your effort, sacrificing many things for dance practices, enduring long hours of practices just surviving on sugar biscuits, thinking about dance during CTs.
Dancing at every single possible venue from the canteen extension to outside LT1 to the atrium.
The red jumpsuits, accessorizing, cyan and gold costumes.
It was that passion for dance and the love for WD that kept us going.
I'm sure it all paid off during that magical few minutes on stage.

Thank you for cooperating with the ExCo and being so supportive of us.
We love NJC Western Dance!
Keep dancing, no one can take that love away from you (:


Much Love,
Executive Committee 0708

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=eBIXUhuV3DoYVeEu3BAJlQ_3d_3d

2. The ExCo Elects are planning a WD outing during the June holidays and require your poll on which dates you would like.
