Happy New Year!!

Hopefully you all had time to spend with your friends and family over Christmas.  We definitely enjoyed a little break after our hectic Christmas season. On Saturday December 18th we finished the holiday rush with our own Christmas production of "The Gift"  It was so nice to see so many of you there. The house was packed for almost every show!

Here's a slideshow of some of the pictures from the performance taken by Tyler Dexter:



On Tuesday December 21st the company had our annual Christmas party. This year we had the wonderful opportunity to attend "The Nutcracker" production by Ballet Society of Colorado Springs. It was exciting for us to see so many of our students from workshops up on stage. Afterward we headed over to the Broadmoor to see the beautiful ginger bread houses and to open presents! We think Erin got the best present of all, 2 little handmade rice warmers for her pointe shoes. Such a good idea!


Now that 2012 is here we are back in the studio rehearsing for our tour to Cheyenne, Wyoming later this month. We're also preparing for our Little Ballerina and Choreography Workshops on January 28th.  The Little Ballerina workshop is perfect for anyone ages 4-10 who just loves to dance but may or may not get to be involved in any regular classes. Our choreography workshop is perfect for older dancers ages 11 and up who are interested in learning skills to help them create dances that truly engage and impact their audiences. Registration forms for the workshop can be found on our website www.balletemmanuel.org
