Hosanna Dance Newsletter
Fall Edition 2017 ∙ 104 E Pleasant ∙ Pierre ∙ Artistic Director, Sunny Hannum ∙ Vol 3
It's Nutcracker Time!
Josh, Sarah, and I have been preparing the cast list and costume selections in between working on the studio expansion project. Although we taught a few worship dance classes in July, this project at 119 Deadwood, Fort Pierre has kept us occupied. We must admit that Chuck Easter has been right there beside us on his hands and knees. Yes, we were praying and sanding and removing tile and thick asphalt tile glue.
We also worked on removing very old, dirty fiberglass insulation from the large studio. Thanks to Brad Bruns we were able to finish.
In May, Hosanna Dance became Hosanna Dance LLC as Ms. Sunny, Josh, and Sarah formed a partnership. We hired contractors to work on the renovation project and if our floor sander gets his job done, we should be able to move the latter part of October.
The new studio space is amazing and will have an in-house stage for spring performances. No longer will we have to wait on Riggs. We will do a more recital type show in-house in May.
We will be growing into this space and there will still be much we want to do to it over the next year. But we are super excited about the possibilities there will all the space and two classrooms.
June 18-22, Josh, Sarah, and Ms. Sunny traveled to Sioux Falls for the Summer Cecchetti Intensive at Dance Gallery. Attending the workshop with us were Gracie Zeeb and Jessica Saunders.
Coming up October 13-15, Hosanna Dance will be attending the Dance Network SD Conference in Sioux Falls. Then November 4-5, Hosanna dancers will be attending the Fall Cecchetti Seminar at Dance Gallery in Sioux Falls.
Josh, Sarah, and Ms. Sunny have been working on the preliminary cast list and costuming for the Greatest Gift of All. The list on this newsletter is subject sometimes to change and for a few of the dances we will be changing choreography. Until we know which choreography we are using, we will not be able to name the dancers because we don't know how many will be doing the dance. You will see a "TBA" next to those dances.
