New Year Edition 2013 ∙ 104 E Pleasant ∙ Pierre ∙ Artistic Director, Sunny Holloway ∙ Vol 1
Happy New Year:
We finished 2012 strong with some victories
and some firsts. God blessed us with a new studio and a repeat of our Lion’s
Roar performance. It was the first time
ever to do a performance as a fundraiser for Riggs Fine Arts Club and to work
with the Riggs staff to put a show on stage. A new projector was a plus.
The new experience stretched everyone,
especially Ms.Sunny. It is important for
a dancer to stay flexible even in relationships. I found myself constantly thanking God for
what He was doing even as I laid aside some artistic goals for the show.
The dancers came through with a shining
performance of their dance steps, even the new dances that were learned in the
last 3 weeks before the show. Kudos to
Josh Easter for learning and performing a new solo for Aslan and to Sarah for
helping him with it!
Now we put this show behind us and move on
to the next one with 4 months to learn dances and the month of May for run
through practices.
We
will begin the year with a few students moving up a level as promised at
registration. Dancers being promoted are
Cassandra Ryckman, Kaitlyn Bruns, and Dadra Scott.
Cassandra and Kaitlyn will also be starting
beginning pointe. They will be traveling
to Sioux Falls for a pointe shoe fitting with Ms.Sunny and a group of advanced
dancers who will be attending a performance of Sleeping Beauty performed by
Dance Gallery on January 18 at Orpheum Theater.
Emily Plumage, Josh Easter, Sarah Easter and
Ms. Sunny performed Your Great Name
and In Christ Alone for St. John’s
Catholic Church in Ft. Pierre December 27th. Emily Plumage also danced for Christmas Eve
Mass at St. John’s.
Hosanna Dance hosted a DVD showing party of
The Lion’s Roar for the cast and friends at Cup of Hope coffee shop in Ft.
Pierre December 29th.
