2009 Recital - Robinson Music Hall Auditorium - Little Rock

Some of the dancers from the 2009 Recital - The Company Dancers were not on stage yet.  Other pictures from recital will include dancers from the base classes will be added later.

 

2008 Recital

This was not all of the dancers - Most of these dancers were from our recreational program.  I do not see any Company Dancers and I don't recall if they were in the practice curtain call.  Base dancers are in pink and black, white and pink, front row on the right.  The recital is held yearly at Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock

 

 

 

This little darling was one of the Base Dancers - I'm really sorry that I didn't get pictures of the other base dancers.  It was so good to see the base dancers perform ballet in the recital taught to them by Ms. April.
