Today the Peridance Youth Ensemble showcased the work is has done with The Beacon Program over the last 7 weeks.  The program included  both “Eclec Tic” by Max Stone, and “Askew” by Amy Marshall.  This was the first time we have been able to show out latest piece by Max Stone, and thankfully, it’s debut went smoothly.  The theme of this year’s work with The Beacon Program was “books from our library”  Book’s chosen included Junie B. Jones, Ramona and Beezus, Cat in the Hat, and Romeo and Juliet.  If you missed the debut of “Eclec Tic” the company will be performing it next Sunday, the 22 at DRA’s “Stars of Tomorrow” event held at SUNY Purchase.  Video’s from tonight’s show will be available online soon!

In a whirlwind of Tchaikovsky, masquerade balls, and tour jetés, the Peridance Youth Ensemble finished three phenomenal shows of Igal Perry’s Nutcracker over the weekend. Participating in the Spanish, Russian, and Arabian sections as well as the Waltz of the Snowflakes, the Ensemble danced along side members of the Core Ballet Program, and the Peridance Certificate Program to help realize Mr. Perry’s elaborate vision for his contemporary take on a classical tradition. With the Nutcracker finished, the Ensemble will take a winter break before returning to classes and performances in the new year. We will try to post photos from the shows as soon as we can.
