snowflakes March 2008

The Big show! This Dance school preforms a recital every three years, so they save up all of their dances and energy for one big show. "Lotte und die Reisegeist"...."Lotta and the Travel Jenie" is the result of their work. Lotta has a dream, the Jenie comes to grant her wishes and she wants to travel. During her travels to Africa and the North Pole, an evil Ice Queen steals her little dog. In order to get her dog back she must find the special crystal. So off she goes and ends up in America, dancing with Indians, then to New York and ends in Chicago. All along this journey we are treated to various dances ranging from the little first graders as bluebirds to the Adult tap and ladies flamenco dances with the ballerinas, hip-hoppers, breakdancers, jazz and modern in between. A nice variety and for the most part very good choreography .

The only differnce I could see from this and our experiences in the Sates was the language...it is a comfort to know that kids are the same the world over, they just may communicate a little differently, because they certainly move the same.
