New York Trip

Hey Everyone! New York is fabulous! I love the energy of this city. We saw Mary Poppins on Broadway and loved the story. It's not quite like the movie...but so uplifting and fun - I highly recommend it especially if you are bringing younger ones with you. There was some great tap dancing you don't want to miss by the chimney sweeps...and Burt.

Brandi is dancing here in New York this summer - she will be a fourth year company member this year - she's studying a variety of modern styles this summer. Cassee studied for a week in New York earlier this summer - Alia is spending much of the summer here (New York) - and Jean is in Austin, Texas studying at a ballet intensive. Yurek headed up to Seattle so I'll be anxious to hear what he found up there. Sarah is retiring to be a housewife. Caelen, Gonzalo and Jem are hanging out - working for the summer and taking advantage of every opportunity to dance that they can find in the summer. All of them took classes at BSU Dancefest in June.

So as you can see, the dancers continue to train in the off season, expanding their abilities all the time. It's the driving force behind a quality company....always working on technique, learning new things and working hard. The proof will be seen on stage for our greatest season ever - so buy your season tickets now and see the company perform.

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer!
