October is a fun and exciting month for our pre school dancers as the theme for the month will shift from "Teddy Bears" to all things "Pumpkin".
Some of the new songs they will be singing and dancing to in class are: Pick A Pumpkin, Patty Patty Pumpkin Patch, Down on Grandpa's Farm, Eensy Weensy Spider and Bear Hunt. As usual class will conclude with the Good Bye Song.
We are very pleased with all of our tiny dancers who are doing a super job in dance class. |
 Dance Company Appearance
The Senior Dance Co. kicked off the season by performing at the Wenonah Arts Festival. The Memorial Presbyterian Church hosted the 1st Annual Wenonah Arts Festival on Sat. Sept. 26. This event will be held each year to celebrate the arts and showcase the abundance of local talent. Proceeds from this event will help defray the cost of the repairs to the stained glass windows in the church sanctuary.
Thank you to all the girls who helped make this event a great success for the church. |
