Festival Dance in the UI Homecoming Parade
| Anyone Can Join Festival Dance Join us in the parade even if you missed the dance class! You have the option of sitting in the truck and/or walking while we toss candy to the crowd. YOU CAN BE IN THE PARADE EVEN WITHOUT DANCING! We will need candy tossers, truck riders, banner holders, and people walking with a smile. |

Arrive at/near the Rosauer's parking lot at about 9:45 and you will either see the Festival Dance truck with our banner on the front, or you can ask someone in charge what number we are. (Parade headquarters is under the tent.) You can find us based on that information relatively easily. It will be great fun... we hope your whole family will want to participate. See you there!!

Trey McIntyre Dance Company
International choreographic phenomenon, Trey McIntyre gives dance a new look. Playful, creative, and unique, the company’s goal is to advance the form of contemporary ballet in innovative and groundbreaking ways. In December 2010, Trey McIntyre was named the United States Artists Wynn Fellow; the company was featured on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer; and TMP was chosen by the U.S. Department of State as one of four American dance companies chosen to participate in DanceMotion USA. As part of this program Trey McIntyre Project will tour to China, South Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam in Spring 2012 serving as a U.S. Cultural Ambassador. But first, local audiences can experience this new dance sensation right here at the Beasley Coliseum!

Festival Dance Student invited to Kirov Academy of Ballet!
Festival Dance student, Simone Wulfhorst, had a chance to go to the Kirov academy of ballet in Washington D.C. this summer. Simone, daughter of Julie Parker and J.D. Wulfhorst, stayed in D.C. for three weeks and said she had a fabulous time and learned a lot. Shortly after Simone returned, she received a letter from the director of Kirov inviting her to the year round training program and boarding school. The director complemented Simone on her talent and advanced skills for her age as well as her spirit and attitude. Mother, Julie Parker, said ". . . as a student of Festival Dance in our little town Simone has learned so much from the school. Thanks. Festival Dance has made a big difference in her young life and helped her attain great skills already. Although I doubt she will start attending the Kirov year round this year, I hope that she can do so in the future."
From everyone at Festival Dance, congratulation Simone! We are so proud of you!

Music Man
Festival Dance's summer workshop, Imagination Arts, will perform a mini musical of The Music Man at the Moscow Farmer's Market Saturday, July 16th at 9:00. Participants are 12 local boys and girls. The workshop is from 9:00 to 1:00 every day this week at the Festival Dance studios on the UI campus in the Physical Education Building. The workshop instructor and choreographer, Crystal Bain, UI graduate now working in Coeur D'Alene, also former Festival Dance Faculty, teaches the children choreography, musical theatre, voice projection, rhythm, and general stage craft. Students will make some of their own costumes and "back drop" for the final show and keep the costumes and other crafts they make.
"This workshop packs in fun while teaching technical skills that will benefit young people by developing complex social and performance skills, confidence, and coordination," says Executive Director, Cindy Barnhart. "It's amazing to see the older students and the younger students working so well together, while learning and having so much fun with the funny story line of The Music Man."
The workshop will also perform the mini musical at the Moscow Farmer's Market August 27th and at the Latah County Fair, as well as the UI Homecoming Parade.
