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.
 


the King chooses ...









and we have Queen Esther





(there's bad old Haman - my dad)





 oh no!
somthing's afoot
 








The Prayer - Mordecai (oh yah, my brother) & Esther
















for such a time as this...



 surounded by angels










Esther & her guardian angel (me)
Esther is on her way to the king, guardian angel and all.
what... you want us to come to a banquet ?
ok...
Haman looks a little worried...
bye, bye Haman


celebration time!
Josh & I are off the ground (back two)!
