The Big One

3.7.2014 – Catching Fire DVD Release

I feel as though I haven’t given you lovely dancers an update on the dances in quite some time. That, of course, may just be me, seeing as I can’t leave you alone for very long…. All the same, here is your “big update.”

Love Take Me Over: I’m terribly sorry, but I must express my overwhelming love for this piece. Despite its disco-ball-ish qualities, it’s the funest (I know, I know, I’m incredible at grammar.) thing that ever hit planet earth. And the costumes… and the fact that there will be thirty-something people onstage to perform it… and the SONG…. Wouldn’t you use the word “funest?”

Jesus Loves Me: The ballet/tap kiddos’ dance is speeding right along and should be finished within the next few weeks. We are currently at the two-thirds mark in the song, and Bethanny has a handful of choreography in mind for the little princesses.

Redeemed: Finished! That’s right beautifuls– the modern dance is complete! Miss Sara has a couple of things that she wants to move around, as well as a couple of minor holes to fill, but the music has ended with our exits. The piece is incredible (to the point of chills). On another note, remember that pirouette contest that we had a few weeks back? Guess who’s having a triple squeezed out of her…? 🙂 On an even less relevant note, we have seen and tried on our costumes and have learned a few things… but more on that later.

Primavera: Finished! As of last night, Training 3 choreography has come to an end. This is one of my all-time favorite pieces. It needs some serious cleaning, but other than THAT… we’re done.

I Need You: The Ballet 2A girls’ piece will– more than likely– be completed this evening. It is absolutely remarkable, and the students love it. A++ worthy.

On the right-hand side of your computer screen, you will find links to the songs above, in recital order (more on that when Recital Central arrives).
