Here at Hubbard Hall we're in the midst of a week-long celebration of Dance. And yes, all week long you can boogie for a buck at any of our ongoing dance classes!
We're finding so many ways to celebrate. On Saturday we held our Dazzle With Dance kick-off event, a performance by faculty and friends in our studio which helped to raise the first $200 toward a sound system (our studio doesn't have one yet). Dance Collective member Katy Schonbeck presented an excerpt from her new work, Clouds Dancing, and faculty members Darcy May (Irish Step), Vicki Webberley (Cleopatra's Dance), and yours truly (Dances of India) presented works with our students. The evening was rounded out by the participation of our wonderful and daring audience who learned some Irish ceili and Middle Eastern dance moves, together with our faculty and friends. Then we relaxed and cooled off in the Visual Arts Studio while enjoying cake and punch and good company.
On display in the art studio are the winning entries from our first annual National Dance Week essay and poster contest, "What Dancing at Hubbard Hall Means to Me." First place was awarded to Susannah Throop, second place winners were Devlin Kennedy and Linnea Seegers, and honorable mention was given to Ajanta Deibel and James Young. The winners received gift certificates to the Village Store, a fine art print of a painting of the Hubbard Hall stage by Adriano Manocchia, and a very unique black "Hubbard Hall Dancer" cap -- only 5 were made in honor of our winners! We are proud of all the writers and illustrators and hope you enjoy seeing their work as much as we have.
National Dance Week celebrates the diversity, energy, and joy of dance for EVERYONE with events across the country. Find out more at www.nationaldanceweek.org!
