bravo to our wonderful teachers and choreographers catalina bohiltea, elizabeth coker giron, natalie lambelet-palacious, courtney poulos, caitlin roberts, and our student choreographer amy lalime.  ftc’s stage one theater was filled with amazing music and performances this past saturday afternoon.  our dancer’s hard work paid off and our audiences were on their feet!

a very special thanks to fred busk for his invaluable help setting up and taking down our dance floor … your generosity and spirit are greatly appreciated by all, especially our dancers who wouldn’t be able to perform without your help!  let’s not forget our film crew, visual mercernary group, whose talent and editing skills will be seen once again with a dvd recording of our amazing day.  thank you to gayle kirsch for running back stage again for us, it wouldn’t be such an efficient show without you.  we can’t wait for next year…our 3rd annual winter showcase!

pictures from dress rehearsal were posted to our facebook page last week … below are pictures of brightly colored pointe shoes from courtney’s piece “speak for yourself.” these pictures were taken after the first show as the colored shoes weren’t available for photographing at the rehearsal.  enjoy.
