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!

Fall is here and so is the new season!

This week brought the first day of school at Boise State and most of the valley schools - and the first day of IDT rehearsal. We are back in the saddle already preparing for our first performance - which is tomorrow! Wow! We are performing at the City Harvest Festival at 1:40pm on Saturday, August 30 - Boise Center on the Grove! You won't want to miss it! It will be fun - the weather will be good - get a glimpse of the company doing repertory from last year to showcase the company in the community. What a great way to showcase our talented dancers to the community!

In other news - we have almost our entire company returning from last year - and we welcome back Kaelen O'Shea and Laurie Evans as well. We have invited all of the alumni back to celebrate our season with us - You will see them at the shows, helping us to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Hear their successes and their memories of IDT. Our gala event is March 14 - Dancing thru the Decades! We have a great band lined up to play music from a variety of eras. Costuming is suggested in your favorite decades attire...Larry Gebert will join us as auctioneer - we are planning a live and silent auction this year! It will be the largest, most fun event IDT hAS ever thrown. Tickets will be available in the near future...watch the website for all the info.

Season tickets are on sale now. It's the last chance to buy tickets for the entire season at a small savings. Our tickets are still priced quite reasonably despite the economy, so don't miss out on the best value you can have for Boise entertainment. There are still tickets available for each evening, so buy your tickets soon to insure you get the nights you want. Season ticket brochures will be mailed to the mailing list again in September. And don't forget to renew your memberships and be a supporter of IDT.

Hope you all had a great summer. Email me and let me know what we can do to enlist your help and advice...and get you more involved in IDT!
