I love dance company. I get to dance with some of the most amazing people in the world! Everyone is so hard working and so lovable. I know I came late into the year, but I was amazing at how welcoming everyone was towards me. Each and every person inspires me and encourages me to keep on dancing. I was even givin the amazing opportunity to choreograph and it was an unreal experience. Choreography is very important to me and everyone is so open to new and creative ideas. Everyone was really helpful in helping and correcting problems I had with my dance. I love how we all work together and everyone is so positive and loving. I am so graetful I was able to spend time with Dance Company this year. It was amazing and I can't wait to do it again next year. I love each and every one on the company. And thank you sooo much Krista for all you do for the company. Couldn't do it with out you. Love you all!!! Thanks so much everyone. (:

My Time on Performing Dance Company: Kalli Elmer
It's crazy that this year has gone by so fast and we have done so much! This year has been my favorite, not only because of the dances and the activities. But because of the girls on our team. Joining dance company was the best decision I've ever made because not only have my dancing improved but also I made so many new friends who became like sisters to me. One thing that sets us apart from any other dance program in our school is that we may not be able to do 6 turns in a row, but we know how to feel in a dance. We learn how to have musicality and properly express out feelings through our movement. Another thing I like about Dance Company is the variety of our dances. Not only can we kick butt in our hip hop, but we can handle sensitive topics like the Holocaust. Our concerts have a theme and it gives us an opportunity to expand and to have new ideas. I loved being able to choreograph because I have always wanted to do a fun jazzy dance and this semesters theme was perfect. Although I had choreography blocks and changed things a lot, It was totally worth is when I heard the audiences reaction to my dancers. The Last thing that I love is the opportunities that dance company has given me. I have been able to dance and perform in Philadelphia for Nationals, dance with professional companies and receive scholarships! I wouldn't have been able to accomplish any of that with being apart of dance company. I will miss it and all the girls! LPHS PDC DANCE, DANCE, DANCE *whisper* AWESOME!

NEW PDC - Dance practice #2
Hello!
If you didn't get the memo from our PDC 2013-2014 facebook group, here it is:
We will have another practice on Monday from 6-7pm at Lp to go over the new member dance and put you in a formation. This is mostly for those who didn't make it on Saturday, but everyone is welcome to come and practice!
Dress Rehearsal is Wednesday at 5pm. You can come if you want, but it is optional. The new member dance is right near the end, so if you come at 6 you would be fine.
Costumes: Bring and wear your own shades of blues (not greens or teals, blues). Something nice or nice-casual that you can dance in.
Performance: Friday! Concert starts at 7pm. You are near the end. I would say arrive at 7:30 at the latest. You are welcome to go in and watch the concert too.
btw, Mt. Ridge has a performance on Thursday, so if any of you are free then, go on over and support their dance company :)
