The first act features this year\u2019s ballet production of \u201cAlice\u2019s Adventures,\u201d using the traditional score for \u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d by Tchaikovsky. \u201cIt\u2019s traditional, but I have completely restructured the format of Tchaikovsky\u2019s music to fit my version,\u201d said Tammie Lee. Although the ballet is traditional, the audience will delight in the unexpected humor. \u201cI felt this story is funny in so many ways, especially the \u2018mad tea party.\u2019 Audiences come to be entertained; comedy creates laughter which makes us feel good, and that\u2019s what we want our audience to experience,\u201d explained Tammie. <\/p>\n
The second act is a showcase of nine new works choreographed by both students and teachers from Studio 4 School of Dance and Studio 4 Dance Theater. Each Spring Showcase production carries its own identity and creativeness. Dances range from contemporary to hip hop to tap to jazz. Returning student choreographers are Michaela Jarnagin, Molly Johnson, and Madison Pelland, each created a group contemporary number. Teacher choreographers include Debbie Dahlberg, the current tap teacher at Studio 4 School of Dance, who is creating two tap numbers. Elizabeth Ernst, a current student and teacher, is doing a contemporary hip hop dance; and Briana Gilbert, a current student and teacher is doing a contemporary solo. Elise Williams, the teen hip hop teacher, is creating her own hip hop number, and Studio 4 Dance Theater Director Tammie Lee is choreographing the finale. <\/p>\n
Every year, Tammie is asked, \u201cHow are you going to top last year\u2019s performance?\u201d Her response is, \u201cWe just have to let the creative process begin. With the Spring Showcase, it\u2019s not just \u2018one thing\u2019 that makes the show– it\u2019s everyone involved. Our dancers are growing and maturing as dancers, choreographers, and as artists, and that is what makes our performance better and better each year.\u201d <\/p>\n
