On Saturday, April 18, 2015, Jennifer’s Dance Center students presented a recital called “Connected”. 25 dances were presented, representing six dance styles: ballet/pointe, clogging, jazz, contemporary, Irish, and Scottish sword. More than 125 dancers ranging from preschool to high school senior participated in the event, displaying the skills they have learned over the last 8 months.
Several dances were choreographed by guest choreographer, Colleen Kosier, including the Irish routines “Cherish the Ladies”, and “The Light”, as well as “The Cotton Club”, a clogging routine which earned the studio a gold medal at the International Dance Challenge 2015. Highlights of the evening included solos by graduating seniors: Rebecca Pottenger, Whitney Dobbins, Madison Schegel, Emily Kuehl, Kaylie Huizenga, Whitney Misfeldt, and
a contemporary production number entitled “Connected” which featured dancers from several classes which challenged the idea that advances in technology have brought us close to each other.
Recital DVDs will be available by contacting the studio at 815-772-4108.
