Recital Wrap Up!
I’d like to thank all of our students and families for making our recent music and dance recitals such a success! After two years of virtual and hybrid Dance Showcases and Music recitals, knowing that this year we were preparing for performances that would be presented at a theater or church in front of live audiences was a true pleasure. It sure feels good to be back! To see our dancers performing on the stage at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, with an audience of over 300 supporting them was an amazing experience. And hearing over 140 of our music students show how far they’ve progressed in their instruction was truly exciting!
Many thanks to Miss Rebecca, Miss Cassie, Mr. Taylor and Miss Sarah for their amazing work with our students, getting them ready for their dance showcase. We greatly appreciate their endless enthusiasm, creativity and the way that they inspire our dancers. Thanks to Mr. Brian, Miss. Galina, Miss Jane, Mr. Jeremy, Miss Jessica, Mr. Joshua, Mr. Kris, Miss. Lori, Mr. Quentin, Mr. Sergio, Miss Tatiana and Miss Yelena, our music instructors who did a fantastic job of teaching our music students and helping them prepare for the seven recitals that took place on May 21st.
Also a huge Thank You! to the parents and friends who graciously gave their time to help backstage at the These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things Dance Showcase: Deepti K., Denise R., Justin T., Miles O., Nicole L. and Stacy F. From helping with lightening fast costume changes, to prompting the dancers on deck, to checking our dancers out at the end of the performance, you made the dance recital run as smoothly as possible. What a fantastic team!
Craig Lynch, Director
