That's right!!!
14 dances, performed by 9 dancers, and choreographed by 7 seniors.
Best of all, it was completely free!!!
That's what was on the docket at Savannah Arts Academy tonight.
I've had news of it on my fb page all week!
This was the "2026 Emerging Choreographers Showcase" and all seven young women each designed two dances.
Of the two dances each choreographer had, one would have multiple dancers on the stage, one would be a solo.
Except one instance, I enjoyed the multi-dancer selections much more so than those with a single dancer.
Here are my favorites, in the order in which they occurred.
"Xscape", designed by Mariah Cade.
This featured three female juniors and one male junior.
Miley Nguyen's design had three female juniors, in hippie garb, and it was delightful!
I was enchanted not only by the lavender tap shoes, but by the ever-present smile of the dancing junior!
That was fabulous!!!
These four dancing juniors were all clad in golden dresses with lots of fringe that swayed and swung with their dancing!
I do so love fringe!
The talented couple enacted a romance that goes wrong, sharing what felt more like a short film more than only a dance.
How expressive!!!
I admit it: this one reminded me of "The Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairies", so of course I liked it!
The four female juniors were perfect for this ballet!
I have to think this was an inside joke, from her to the audience!
The last dance of the showcase...
the last dance of the sole "not guilty' person in 6-dancer death row tango from the musical "Chicago"...
surely this was deliberate!
In any case, it assured me I was where I needed to be.
Right place, right time!
Now, it's almost time for Steve Buscemi to be featured on "Elsbeth", along with the art of crossword puzzles.
Life is good!
(smile!)
