Hi Everyone!

And welcome to our first newsletter!

2006 has been a busy and exciting first year for us, launching Alchemy Dance Company, and Academy. Thank you for the tremendous amount of support we have received from you all, from friendly faces in the audience to enthusiastic participation at our courses. It is all so much appreciated.

We have lots of exciting plans for 2007. There are a few details below, but keep checking our website as it is kept up-to-date with all the latest news.

For the meantime, we wish you a very happy Christmas and festive season! Have lots of fun and keep dancing!!

ALCHEMY DANCE COMPANY

We will have a new performance calender up on our website within the next couple of weeks, so check that if you want to catch one of our shows. In the meantime, we have a short clip of our current show in our gallery.


4 year old Donell has an in-operable Brain Tumour, his family & friends are trying to raise funds to send him to Disneyland (and for anything else that they can), so he can enjoy what precious time he has left.

A Salsa party is being held to raise funds for Donell on Saturday 16th December in Oldbury. Click here for more info about the party and to read Donell's story. You can also make donations online.


Marchant's DVD!!!!

One of the most (long awaited) exciting projects for 2007 is Marchant's first instructional DVD!!! We're not going to let on too much at the moment ;-), but a promotional teaser will be out in a couple of weeks. So keep checking our website for more info. We will also be taking pre-orders in the new year.


ALCHEMY DANCE ACADEMY

Thank you to those of you who attended our first academy courses. Both were a great success and a lot of fun. Being on our mailing list, you'll be the first to know dates for courses in 2007. Do email us if you have any suggestions/requests for future courses. Also it helps us if we know people are interested in doing particular courses, so if you have friends that want to join us, get them to email us too.

If you haven't seen yet, we have a few photos on our gallery of the Adv course, see if you can spot yourself! Intro course ... we'll be taking some of you too!


UK SALSA award

Marchant & Miriam were proud winners of the 'Best UK Dance Act' award at the UK Salsa Congress 2006. This was decided by public, so a huge thank you goes out to all of you who voted.

On a sadder note, after two successful years together, Marchant and Miriam have decided that their ambitions in dance are heading in different directions, and have therefore decided to part company. This award is all the more poignant as it means they end their partnership on a high. So thank you again for your support, and we all wish Miriam the very best for the future.
