NEW... Esthers Students may attend two - three times a week
!  
So our students may gain the practice needed to perfect skills in conversation, modeling, visual poise, confidence and beauty arts!

Tuesdays 4:00 - 5:30, Thursdays 4:00 - 5:30 and Saturdays at 12:00 noon for extra practical time and lesson practice.   

For a definite life changing impact and development of new skills, Esthers Finishing School is providing these extra hours for just a membership fee of $150. plus GST for the full year membership.  As long as the student is enrolled in the ongoing sessions (which are 5 weeks long - one class per week - session fee at $125.)  the extra two weekly classes are included in the session registration tuition at no extra charge.  

Same for students enrolled in the Spirit of Excellence programs in Flag/Dance and Tambourine Classes.  Enrolled students may attend the rehearsal and gain more practice time in the large dance/flag studio with the one membership fee of $150.  So student members may come for practice times Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturday lesson class, and any or all of the Esthers Classes while enrolled in that session.  

I believe with these extra included practice times - we will see the students excel in their skills, presentation, conversation and flag/dance.  We will have an excellence Flag/Dance Company this year and students with life changing skills!   

I look forward to a productive year - getting fit - developing more inner and outer beauty, twirling flags and raising up role models of excellence!
