Richmond Ballet
MINDS IN MOTION is
a two week program that teaches fourth-grade
students
discipline, dedication and self-awareness by
leading them
through a series
of choreographic movements which must be memorized
and expanded upon
in each class session. Dancers from Richmond
Ballet will reside
in the Highlands for 14 consecutive days,
traveling to primary
schools to teach Phys. Ed. classes. These dance
professionals will
teach the students “exercises.” A
pianist accompanies all of
the classes,
adding another enriching
dimension to the experience. The students must
count the beats and
measures of the music
and learn the elements of rhythm (multiplication & division)
in order to
be successful in
the program. When all the combinations are put
together the kids become a
dance ensemble. |

McGill
Over the river and
through the woods to Grandmother’s
house she goes.
Red
Riding Hood,
not so little anymore, and her pre-teen
pals try
to stay on the straight and narrow in the
latest adventure
from the Missoula Children’s Theatre, RED RIDING HOOD. The Big
Bad
Wolf, who is not
so bad after all, and a friendly neighborhood
Forest Ranger urge
our heroes to stay true to the
path, for in the
Shadows lurk diversions and a sinister
surprise or two.
