which she completed as part of beginning contemporary class. Excellent work!

Dance is Everywhere: Snigtha

Gymnastics is not "dance" per se, but Daedream does incorporate gymnastics into our performances.  Castmember Snigtha, now in her 3rd year, recently visited the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics.  Here are some highlights.

In the CHOREO ZONE . . .

Choreo Day, November 12, seemed to start off poorly, with Executive Director, Ms. Francis and Director/Head Choreographer Kevin Kelly fighting off serious colds.

Regardless, the troup went off the rehearsal, albeit late, to work.  "We're really behind," says Ms. Francis, "because we have been focused on our outreach, costume situation, and various new projects to support the Daedream Company and cast."  The idea of cancelling seemed out of the question.

For the rest of the day, the team worked tirelessly, whether on written planning and scene design or actual choreography steps, everyone worked diligently.  Here are some photos to share a glimpse into today's CHOREO ZONE.
