Holiday Performance at the Campus Theatre

Posted on December 17, 2011 by downtowndancepa

Saturday December 17, 2011-

Our Thursday 7:00-7:45pm Beginner Ballet class (5 students) performed a Ballet/Rockette style number to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.”  They opened for the movie showing of “Miracle on 34th Street” at the historic one-screen movie theatre, Campus Theatre, in downtown Lewisburg.

We had such a good time preparing and performing at this holiday event.  Miss Christine handmade the teardrop Rockette hats.  And the class was happy to be able to practice in the studio moments before walking across the street and performing on stage for an audience.  It was an exciting opportunity for everyone to perform in the beautiful, recently renovated auditorium.  Thanks Campus Theatre!

You can watch the 2nd half of their dance routine, the Rockette section, by clicking here or by searching for our downtown dance youtube channel.
