2012 SPRING CONCERT

6 MINUTES LATE !

THIS, THE YOUTH STUDENT DANCE CONCERT FROM THE ACADEMY OF NEVADA BALLET THEATRE...

JUST SUPERB.....

COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER.

THAT SAID..... IT WAS STUDENT DANCING...YOUTH DANCING....TOT DANCING ...PRE SCHOOL DANCING AND THE LINES WERE NOT PERFECT BUT MANAGEMENT, CHOREOGRAPHY, COSTUMES AND EFFORT WERE MAGNIFICENT.

SOME OF THESE KIDS ARE JUST TOO CUTE.

THANKS TO THE PARENTS AND NBT FOR THIS MONUMENTAL EFFORT.

THE PROGRAM SAID SLEEPING BEAUTY.....SLEEPING BEAUTY WAS STILL SLEEPING WHEN THEY KICKED OFF THIS MULTI DANCE EVENT THAT WENT 69 MINUTES AT UNLV'S HAM HALL.  SO NICE TO SEE THE NBT AT HAM HALL AGAIN AFTER WHATEVER IT IS THEY TRIED TO DO AT THE SMITH CENTER.  IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TREAT TO VISIT THIS VENUE WITH OLD FREINDS AND FAMILAR STAFF IN A PERFECT ARENA.  LAST NIGHT WE WERE AT THE JOINT AT THE HARD ROCK FOR BOXING AND I NOTICED THEIR LARGE STAGE.....THE STAGE FOR LVCD AT THE SMITH CENTER SEEMED SMALL....HAM HALL SEEMED PERFECT FOR THE DANCE.

THIS LOVELY MATINEE PROGRAM WENT TWICE..... LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AT 1...ALLEGEDLY...... AND THEN THIS DELIGHTFUL SHOW AT 5.   DOZENS OF YOUNG DANCERS IN THEIR TRADEMARK NBT COLORFUL COSTUMES AND LOTS OF THEM.
A TON OF WORK TO PUT THIS MULTI DANCE SHOW TOGETHER WITH 25 TO 30 AND MORE DANCERS ON STAGE AT ONE TIME.  TECHNICALLY REALLY SOUND.
I DID GET TO HEAR RAVEL, SINATRA AND THE BEATTLES ALTHO TCHIAKOVSKY WAS SLEEPING WITH SLEEPING BEAUTY....WHAT A LOAD THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH ALL THESE KIDS...THE PROGRAM HAD IT TOTALLY CREDITED.....MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON YOU SHOULD GO TO EVERYTHING YOU MIGHT GET A SUPER TREAT.

CUTE TO SEE SOME OF THE KIDS BETTER AND MORE SERIOUS ABOUT THE EVENT THAN OTHERS AND SOME FOLLOWING THE LEADER TOO CLOSELY...WE DID FIND FIVE BOYS THAT WANTED TO DANCE...ALWAYS A CHALLENGE...THE MALE CHILD IS SUCH A WUSS IN PASSING ON THE DANCE.

JUST NOTHING ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN THEY COULD HAVE PUSHED THIS HARDER FOR MORE FOLKS OTHER THAN MOMS AND DADS....IT REALLY WAS FUN.
MIGHT HAVE HAD FOUR OR FIVE HUNDRED.

THANKS AGAIN TO THE MOMS AND DADS FOR THEIR COMMITTMENT...THE ONLY THING BETTER WOULD BE TO TAKE THEM TO THE VIOLIN TEACHER !

WHEN DOES NEXT YEARS SHOW GO ?
