Here’s a video of some of my most recent choreography. Here we were playing around in my Junior/Senior level Technique class. This a little snippet of some jazz choreography to “Glam” by Christina Aguilera. Enjoy!
Here’s a sneak peek from our run-thru for ‘Music That Makes Us Dance’, Linda D’Amico’s Academy of Dance’s 2011 recital! (My first dance recital as an adult teacher!) Here are a few of my favorite shots from my Junior/Senior Contemporary piece and my Sophomore Level Ballet class!
This is one of my gorgeous students, Kristen Kole (Age 15), performing a jazz solo that I choreographed for her. This particular video footage is from StarQuest Regional Dance Competition in Hackensack, NJ. This was the first time she’d performed this piece in front of an audience and she did SO VERY WELL. I was (and still am) incredibly proud of the hard work and energy that she poured into this particular performance!
At StarQuest she received a “High Gold” for this performance (only 2 points away from “Platinum”) and at Starbound she received a “Gold” for this particular piece! We are so proud of her growth as a dancer and a performer!
Our fantastic girl group, “The CrescenDolls”, have had quite the packed calendar these days! Here are a few pictures from some of the most recent gigs that we’ve booked!
1.) Forte Music Festival Audition: We auditioned to perform with the Forte Music Festival in Manhattan back in April. The four of us polished our rendition of “Mama Who Bore Me” and the “Mama Who Bore Me (Acapella Reprise)” from the musical ‘Spring Awakening’ and performed it for a panel of judges. Long story short, we were selected to perform at the Forte Music Festival!
2.) Forte Music Festival at Symphony Space in NYC: On May 1st we had the privilege of performing the same piece in a real NYC theatre that is literally located on Broadway! So cool! (I had to remind the ladies, “Hey, we’re literally performing on Broadway right now…”) We did a wonderful job and ended up winning the Grand Prize at the end of the day: 4 tickets to see ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ on Broadway!
3.) Glen Rock’s 2011 Relay For Life Festival: Our lovely managers Ryan Pifher and Jenn Boles booked us a wonderful gig performing at Glen Rock’s 2011 Relay for Life Event. We had a long and wonderful set list, and we even got to sing a couple of songs with The Porch Light Theatre’s Youth Performance Troupe! I love those kids! We triumphed despite the cold and rainy weather!
