PICTURES!!!

Hi everyone!

I finally (FINALLY) got photos off my camera dating back to April, and I have a ton I want to share. For now, I will post two of my favorites from the Children's Dance Festival held every year in April. Five Dance Barn students participated in the event, which brings together studios from all over the area to perform together. It's run by Miki Lizst, who has a company in Charlottesville and has been producing this Festival for 24 years! It was a great experience for the students, and an event we hope to participate in again in years to come.


These students were Mint Patties in our production of The Magic Candy Shop, but we re-named the dance Echoes of the Sea for this show. The music, by local group Zephyrus, was a capella women's voices, and absolutely beautiful.


These students, who played Candy Canes in The Magic Candy Shop, danced to music by Stuart Gunter, another local musician (and friend!) who freelances all over the place and also works with Sandalwood Studios. The kids LOVED this piece, called 3rd Dimension, and we re-named the dance Triple Helix for this performance.

There are more pictures to come, so please check back!
