Chapter 16 ~ NSCHS Dance Show

This weekend was a huge success with over 150 dancers performing in our NSCHS Dance Concert, Chapter 16! Thank you for coming to the show and for your continued support of NS Dance. We saw a quote recently that says, “Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.” This is certainly the case with our Booster Parent Volunteers and we can’t thank you enough for everything you do for our program. We continue to be excited about our growth, artistry, and Dance community.

We are proud of the dancers and very thankful we can showcase their talents in a major production. The technical theater department worked tirelessly behind the scenes under the direction of Marty Aikens. The Dancers are all members of the Dance VPA program with Artistic Directors Andrea Edmonstone and Denise Moscardelli Kent. Information about our 2013-2014 events and volunteer opportunities can be found on www.northspringsdance.com so be sure to sign up to follow the blog.

Videos are still available this week for $20.  If you would like to purchase one please have your dancer bring in a check or cash. DVD’s are available at www.pointedvd.com for $25. In addition, we are also taking last minute orders for tee shirts for $12. The tee shirts are black with the poster image on front. Information about show photography will be available soon.

Congratulations to all the seniors! Best of luck and thank you for being a part of the North Springs Dance Family!

Sincerely,

Ms Kent and Ms E

Dance Injury and Prevention Day 2013

Today students learned about dance related injuries and prevention during class. Mandy Blackmon is a physical therapist specializing in dance and performing arts medicine.  Meghan Keen is a third year doctoral student from Emory University, completing a 2-semester directed study in dance medicine with Dr. Blackmon.  Together, they will present a workshop to the North Springs High School dance department on the topic of preventing injuries.  They will also discuss nutrition, overall wellness, and conditioning to strengthen dance-specific muscles.
