Saturday, May 16th

A very full, theatrical Day...
We began the day in Provo at the Creative Dance performance where we were treated to a simple 35 minute program of 7 dances. The dancers at our performance time ranged in age from 4 to 13. Each school year we travel weekly to Provo for lessons and instruction with one choreographed performance at the conclusion. It has been a fun way for our daughter to express her creativity and learn new skills in a very uplifting and flexible format.

Next stop: The local Junior High where four of the six 2nd grade classes performed their individually created operas. They were given expert guidance in writing, composing, and staging their works of art. It was a great experience for them and I'm happy to report that after viewing each classes efforts, I can safely say my son's was the BEST! (No parental bias at all!)
Way to go Elves!


Costume Change: Out with the Creative Dancer, in with Cinderella...
Add to the mix, Goofy!In between the 2nd Grade operas the Elementary School Choir performed a Disney medley. Our two oldest children have had fun this year participating in "Shelly Sounds" which is directed by a very creative and talented woman. They have each enjoyed the opportunity to sing and dance with multiple performance.

It's a well rounded ship we are sailing here! Bravo! Bravo!
