Happy New Year!

What a great ending to a great year! Thanks to everyone who made The Greatest Gift of All a huge success but most of all thanks to the Lord whose hand was all over it. I didn’t think our shows could get any better than He Lives in You: Lion King but they just keep exceeding wildest expectations. Even more rewarding is seeing young dancers who just keep improving.

Thank you for all your gifts in December!

We have already begun planning The Deliverer: Prince of Egypt and will soon be posting costume fees which will be due by February 1^st. This show will follow the theme of Prince of Egypt so there won’t be so many variety dances as there were in our Nutcracker. We did this show in 2007 with a focus on the story of the Jewish people. This will be an entirely new production but it does tell the same story.

We have been blessed over the Christmas break with tango classes taught by Alex Plumage and will begin Shotokan Karate classes January 14th taught by Richard Hathaway that will continue twice a week for the rest of the year. They are 2-hour classes Wednesday and Friday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. for age 10-adult. SPACE IS STILL AVAILABLE IN THIS CLASS.

We will once again be offering summer Cecchetti classes in June for students planning to exam during the week of the Cecchetti Summer Intensive June 22-27.

Ms. Sunny is planning to attend the Cecchetti Intensive at Dance Gallery in late June (dates TBA) and the teacher’s seminar at the Cecchetti International Summer School July 5-11 in Holland, MI, and is hoping that some advanced students will join her ☺.

We plan to offer summer modern and ballet for dancers wishing to stay in dance shape and will post a schedule in May for summer classes. We are also hoping to offer some summer dance camps for preschool and kindergarten children. These would be two-week sessions of one hour a week.
