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 27^th.  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 29^th.
