Ms. Hanna Zhang, Young Artists Director and Dance Teacher

Just like the plum blossom enduring the harsh winter snow to bloom in the spring, our dancers have endured through rigorous training and rehearsals to arrive in competition season. The majority of dance competitions take place during the springtime, as early as January. For our dancers, both in the full-time and Young Artists program, we are aiming to join a number of competitions starting early February.

We are very excited for our dancers and wish them the best of luck. Let’s continue working hard and win those awards!

Ms. Hanna Zhang, Young Artists Director

Hello friends! Winter Wonders is happening soon, and I want to remind everyone of a few things:

First, please pay attention to emails from Ms. Ginnie! Her emails always have very important and critical information regarding the upcoming events. If all else fails, please read her emails and you should get the information you need.

Secondly, don’t forget to bring everything you need! Dance clothes and dance shoes, hair clips and hair nets, make up, costume, everything! We won’t be at school so we may not have something if you forget it.

Next, don’t forget to bring your family and friends! This is an exciting performance and something I’m sure everyone will enjoy very much. We hope to see their smiles in the audience next Friday!

Finally, don’t forget yourself! We need you at your best and most energetic and most prepared and most excited! 

Looking forward to seeing you all there! Let’s have a great time!

First Round of Dress Rehearsals for Winter Wonders

Young Artists News
November 11, 2022

Next week, November 14-18, we will be holding our first round of dress rehearsals for our Winter Wonders performance (at Herbst Theatre on December 16). Our students have been busy working hard on their choreography, rehearsing movements, and practicing techniques in preparation for our upcoming showcase. With many of the costumes, props, music, and designs gradually coming together, it is the perfect time before Thanksgiving break to check on the progress and hold separate dress rehearsals.

These dress rehearsals will take place on the days the students are here, and we will minimize asking students to make extra trips. This will be different from our major final dress rehearsal planned for December 7, where we hope all performers can join us for a full runthrough of the performance. If you’re unsure or if you have any questions, please ask the teacher for your class or contact Ms. Ginnie for details. Stay tuned for a sneak peek next week!
