One week til show!

I'm so excited to see the show! I can feel the electricity in the air as we get ready to perform "Ricky Business". We had our early morning appearance on Larry Gebert yesterday - that's when you know it's getting close! The company is healthy and strong...should be a fabulous show.

Ticket sales could be better - so tell everyone you know about the upcoming show and get them to buy their tickets. Season tickets are the cheapest they will be if you buy them prior to Thurs when the show opens. You will be able to upgrade at the show...but not at such a good discount as the current season ticket price. It's worth the money - what a great value for live performance!

Just a note that we have minor parking issues this time with Disney on Ice being performed at Taco Bell Arena during our show run. So they have moved our parking to the Admin Lot - it's the light on University just before you get to the Special Events Center if you are coming from Capital. It will cost you $2 to park there for the show...same as the garage..but just as close - maybe closer. All of the other parking has been reserved by Disney on Ice.

See you at the theatre. Stop and say hi and let me know you are reading my blog!

two weeks to showtime

We had a great open rehearsal yesterday at the studio! If you were there, you were treated to a close look at the athleticism and hard work it takes to perform these pieces. We were only given ticklers to what the whole show will be like! And I was totally wowed! (Is that a word?) Anyway - I'm in awe of the work that has been created for this show. Gonzalo's piece is so upbeat and fun...Carl's is filled with passion of all sorts...and Marla's is just plain beautiful. If you are new to dance - don't miss this show. You will be blown away with the dancers talents!

See you at the show.

You don't want to miss this....

Hey Everyone - Jennifer Colson has designed the greatest 20th Anniversary Program! It's full of cool stuff - like all the dancers who have performed with the company over the years- and all the Repertory that has been performed...it will blow your mind! The graphics are beautiful...I can't for the first show so you can all see it!

I'm so excited for the first show...there's still a lot to do - but You can help! Tell everyone you know about IDT - most people in Boise don't know about us - have never heard of us - or think we are Ballet Idaho. Invite them to come along with you to a show! Just think how many tickets we would sell if everyone just brought one new friend with them....what a cool thing! And we'd have even more dance fans in Boise. I'm excited to see all our friends in the theatre...see you soon!

How many people love dance and football - Well a few of us at IDT do - The Broncos rock this year and we are having fun supporting them! BSU is a great supporter of Idaho Dance Theatre so we all should support them too! While they don't give us any cashola - they do lots of stuff - like give us space to rehearse. It would be tough to survive without our residency agreement! We love BSU! Go Broncos!

Open Rehearsals

Hey Everyone - If you haven't been to an open rehearsal for IDT - you are missing a great opportunity to get a look at the upcoming show - meet the dancers - hear their stories - learn all about Idaho Dance Theatre. They are tons of fun too! We love having people in the studio with the dancers - and they love performing for you. So don't miss them! The next one is October 24 - in the studio at the Morrison Center Room B111. They start at noon and last one hour. Email me if you want to join us for a great event!

October news

Hey Everyone! What a great month October is around the Boise area! The Seasons have definitely changed and we have cooler temperatures - the leaves will be dropping and winter is approaching. In the studio, Idaho Dance Theatre (IDT) is preparing a fabulous show for November to kick off the season. With all experienced dancers, the choreographers are enjoying the work - both Carl and Gonzalo are creating new works for the November show. We are also bringing back a couple of favorites from the past. I know that you will not want to miss these shows! Tell everyone you know about the athleticism and excitement that the dancers bring to the stage. The only way more people will know about us is if you help us spread the word!

I hope to see all of you at the show. If you are interested in volunteering or working with the company in some way, please email me (see the website) - and let me know - we are always looking for help.

See you at the show!
