It has been almost 2 years since Ginny had formal lessons. Isn’t it funny how things can change in an instant. We’ve been looking for a new dance studio and Ginny has been trying to determine if she really wants to take ballet or some other form of dance. Our homeschool co-op offered the perfect solution this fall with an Exploring Dance class taught by Danielle Grimm.
Wednesday night I received an email regarding a dance opportunity for children that were interested in participating in the Nutcracker either as a dancer or non-dancing roles. I almost skipped telling Ginny about it. I had her read it and she was really interested and excited. The short story is that last night she auditioned to see if she would be able to dance and at what level. The really cool part is that there are a group of girls just about Ginny’s level and there hadn’t been enough to form a class but with the 2 new students from last night there are enough. The artistic director will be working on figuring out what they will dance and we should know that within the next couple weeks.
Here is the information about the performances that will be held in December at the Nugget Casino. If you are interested in tickets, we can get them for you or you can purchase them online. Reno Dance Company is a non-profit organization so the monies will go to help those that have a desire to learn to dance.
