Field Trip Opportunity!
Alvin Ailey Dance American Company at the Moss Arts Center!
February 28-March 1 (includes a special school/homeschool performance Wednesday morning)
This is a rare opportunity to see one of the world’s foremost modern dance companies, right here in the New River Valley. Their signature piece, Revelations, is danced to African-American spirituals and is my favorite work in the modern dance repertoire!
Reminder – the deadline to sign up for our Ballet Magnificat trip is February 1st!
We’re so excited to be partnering with our friends at Leaps of Faith Christian Dance Studio in Lancaster OH to host a special performance and series of Masterclasses with America’s premier Christian ballet company! Tentative plan – we will drive up on April 3rd or 4th, see them perform “Deliver Us” on April 4th, take masterclasses with the company on April 5th, and drive home on April 6th. Depending on how many people go, Leaps of Faith may be able to provide host homes for us.
Details will be sent out to eligible dancers soon.
Reminder – for those of you coming to D.C. to see Romeo and Juliet, February 18th is only a few weeks away!
