Friday Showing ~Megan's dance~

At Hollins Dance, we have this thing called Friday showings where student works/works in progress are shown, and we give critical feedback. As you can see below, we just sit on one side of the studio for 4 hours. LOL The woman in the chair on the left is the Artistic Director of Hollins Dance Department, Donna Faye Burchfield. Next to her is our Guest Teacher for the semester, Jesse Zarritte. Then the other woman in the chair is Jen Nugent, a guest artist who visits here a couple weeks every year, and next to her is Maguel who is also a short term guest artist. We get a lot of guest artists. There are some grad students in this class, too. Even though it is long, it's always exciting to see student works!!!!

Below are some pics from one of the senior work that's going to be performed in Spring Dance on April 24th, 25th, and 26th. It's inspired by Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. It's really fun and exciting!! BUT, you feel like you are going to die afterwords... LOL I still take twice as longs as others to learn the material because I'm not as used to the movements as much as the others are. I still have to work on a lot of things. Everyone is very very supportive, though, and I feel comfortable enjoying myself even if I might look like a fool. LOL Oh, FYI, I had a little issue with keeping my hair untangled this passed week, so my hair might look slightly messy than usual... It's all combed out now!

The one juping like crazy on the left of me is Symphoni. We hang out togetgher A LOT. We keep things real in each other's lives. Ever since we've been at Hollins, we have had mostly the same daily schedules by complete coincident... I'm supprised that we are not tired of each other yet. LOL

As I said above, Spring Dance is April 24th, 25th, 26th. If you are interested in coming, let me know, and I will be more than happy to send you details!!!!!!! Thank you!
