May- June End of the Year Newsletter

Learning the song "Zippity Doo Dah"

May- June   Dancing our way through !

We were lucky enough to go on another great trip to Maine State Ballet this past week. It is such a wonderful trip as it gives the students a first hand experience of the amount of practice,  work and detail it takes to put on a show.  First, we learned the song ...next a few dance moves... and then we went into the costume room to learn about how costumes are made! 

 

(Fun Facts : It takes about 100 hours to make ONE tutu. Those costume heads are paper mache taped on bike helmets.)

The final portion of the field trip is learning about the set and lights. And...putting on our final show on stage of course!

Pretty impressive accomplishments in just an hour and a half!
