The Show Must Go On















Who could resist that face? This is one of my little dancers at last year's show. By the end of this weekend, Dancin' 2008 will be in the books. The dancers are ready to do their thing and I am looking forward to watching them as they spread their dancer wings and fly!

It brings me joy to see all the hours of lessons, preparation and rehearsal finally come together . From the smallest little ballerina who is taking her first steps onto the stage to the teens who are finally beginning to put together the technical execution with the artistry of a performance, these two nights are what we work towards all year. To all of our DDC dancers, "Break a leg!" You guys really rock my socks!

"They Who Dance"

The feet of dancers
Shine with laughter,
Their hearts are vibrant as bells;

The air flows by them
Divided, like water
Before a gleaming ship.

Triumphantly their bodies sing,
Their eyes
Are blind with music.

They move through threatening ghosts,
Feeling them as cool as mist
Against their brows.

They who dance
Find infinite golden floors
Beneath their feet.

-Marjorie Allen Seiffert

Dear Diane and Barbara,
The show was terrific as usual!!! The choreography and technical skill and stage presence of the dancers were awesome! Your hard work has paid off and the fruits of your labor were very evident.
BRAVO!
