Martin Luther King Jr. Day- No dance classes

Remember - no Festival Dance classes on Monday. Also, there looks like some great things will be on tv (CNN) to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday.

Wow! I'm watching CNN and 'The O'Bama Express' and I'm so interested to see the inauguration on Tuesday. After the Festival Dance board meeting on Tuesday, I'm going to the inauguration party at the 1912 Building. What an incredible milestone for our country! The inauguration of Barack O'Bama is touching everyone across the world- even the director of Festival Dance! :o)

New in 2009!

I wish you all could know how excited we are for the new year for Festival Dance! We have so many new ideas to implement.... Like a new website design, mini videos to communicate to the students, parents, and faculty; a fun new class - Acting for Dancers, and more and more! Coming this spring is Swan Lake, Missoula Children's Theatre - Rumlple Stilkstein, Ache Brazil, Wizard of Oz, and our recitals in May. Please, as always, contact us anytime if you have an idea, a way to improve your dance experience, have a question or just want to chat. Have a great 2009!!

Nez Perce Dance & Drum Show

The Nez Perce Dance & Drum show at McDonald Elementary School in Moscow was a wonderful event! It was part of our Building Cultural Bridges program with Lapwai, Id. The students got to watch traditional Nez Perce dance and learn about the regalia. There was an informative question and answer period afterwards. The students even got to get up and dance with the dancers!! Such a great time!!

Living Window Display Music Video

Living Window Display 2008

The Living Window Display was a huge success! It was enchanting! The dancers did a wonderful job of entertaining the crowds - and themselves. :o)

A Magical Peter Pan Christmas!











MOMIX was a hit! I haven't written a post since before MOMIX because - well because, it's just been VERY BUSY at Festival Dance. :o) We're working on A Magical Peter Pan Christmas and it is coming along brilliantly. I am very pleased with our casting: Siri Hammond is a wonderful Peter, and all of the key parts are absolutely wonderful!! Shows are December 13, 3:00 & 7:00 and Dec. 14, 3:00 at the Hartung Theatre. Tickets on sale at Paradise Ridge CDs in downtown Moscow. I'll post more later. For now, here are some pictures.
