Hosanna Dance LLC: 2010

Pictures & Video for December Recital

Merlyn Hilmoe of MPH Video will be shooting formal dance photos from 6 -7 pm after the Dress Rehearsal on Friday, December 10 at Riggs Auditorium. Merlyn has shot formal dance photos at the studio and has made program photos available on the web; now, he’s looking forward to the opportunity to do formal photos of the entire cast.

There will be a sitting fee of $10 per dancer which will include a CD of photos (usually 100+) of the entire program with permission to print any of those photos.

Photo packages: 1 - 8 x 10 photo, 2 - 5x7 photos, and 4 - 3 x 5 photos

Package price is $20, sales tax included

Payment will be received at the recital. Dancers may leave an email address for notification as soon as the photos are ready; photos may be picked up at Main Street Dance.

The Greatest Gift Of All will be available on DVD - video by Merlyn Hilmoe - and can be ordered for $12. Signup is available at the studio and will be backstage at the theater.

Fall Happenings/Summer Follow Up:

Summer finished with a bang as MainStreet dancers participated in "The Awakening Music Fest" at Steamboat Park on a very hot Friday evening, August 20. Dances done for this worshipful event were In Christ Alone, Way Down Deep, and Day of Freedom. Dancers were Josh Easter, Sarah Easter, Mekell Rockwell, Abbey Nold, Lindsey Bishop, Becky Plumage, Emily Plumage, Jenna Johnson and Ms. Sunny. Emily Plumage blessed us by teaching Way Down Deep to a group of 8 dancers. Way to go, Emily!

Fall classes got off to a late start due to a later than usual Labor Day. It has taken the entire month of September to get enrolled in their classes.

Measurements are almost completed for costumes to be ordered for "The Greatest Gift of All." A preliminary cast list is posted at the studio and this newsletter. Ms. Sunny and students will be attending SD Dance Network in Sioux Falls the weekend of October 15th.

Dance Recital 2010

Hadassah: A Story of Esther in pictures as told by Sarah

This is the way to start any production - with prayer

Hadassah: A Story of Esther, April 25, 2010, @ Riggs High School Theatre, Pierre

~ ~ ~

The village is happy

The King & Queen are happy,

but then...

the queen won't come when the King summons

... the search for a new queen begins

(I am resisting)

Esther is taken

Esther's preparation

I'm not actually trying to punch her,... I must be teaching her some self defense (could be useful information in the Persian court) but my lessons must bore her.
