A feature from the ONE91 Blog about Modern Dance Project:
Aileen, a seventh grader at Nicollet Middle School, joined Modern Dance Project because she’s loved to dance since she was a young child and wanted to do something fun with her friends. “My favorite part of Modern Dance is that we all get to express ourselves,” she said. It’s Aileen’s second year participating in the program, so she’s more excited than nervous about performing in the community concert. “Something I’ve gained from this experience is not getting embarrassed about learning new things,” she added.
Joanna, a sixth grader at Eagle Ridge Middle School, signed up for Modern Dance Project because she always wanted to learn how to dance and this was a perfect opportunity to learn new dance moves. Her favorite part of the experience has been getting ready for the show and putting on the outfits. “The Modern Dance Project has made me a little bit more confident now,” said Joanna.
THE REPERTOIRE PROGRAM
|
The Youth Dance Ensemble Repertoire Program was created in 1991 to fulfill community requests for a performing youth dance company in the south metro area. Since its first season, audience members have been entertained and educated with performances, lecture-demonstrations, and dance related special events. Committed dancers in 5th grade-12th grade are eligible to participate. Learn more below.
