Spring Update

It’s been a while but I am officially back! Year 10 carries on with lots of excitement leading into the spring. Next Sunday is one of our favorite annual performances- Abramson Center. It’s the official kick off to the 2011 Rep performance season where many of the new pieces will debut. Look out for a sneak peek of the Tuesday 5:15 FW lyrical piece as well as a beautiful duet by 2 of the LH Senior Rep dancers. We will also premiere Mein Herr which is definitely going to be a spring show stopper! And of course it’s another opportunity to see one of Generations’ favorite pieces- Hip-hop Company’s Beggin’ as well as Elizabeth’s solo which got her accepted to the DeSales dance program for college next year. Speaking of Generations; Congrats to everyone who helped this year’s concert raise $5,200.00 which was donated to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It was the most successful Generations to date!
And as the spring approaches, all the Rep Companies begin work on their final pieces for the year. Can’t wait to see Amy’s FW Junior Rep, Lindsay’s LH Junior Rep, Kelli and Lindsay’s FW Senior Reps, Kate’s Hip-hop Company piece (I hear there is a table involved), and Sarah’s LH Senior Rep piece. And of course the always AMAZING Tap Extravaganza! Here’s to spring!
