What a fantastic night! I could feel the nerves of the student performers as they arrived at the studio to do their run throughs and I was trying to be calm in speaking with them....I remember only too well the first time performance excitement that makes you feel like you can't remember one bit of your choreography. I was so impressed with everyone's costuming, hair and make-up. It just showed how serious everyone had taken the challenge. From where I was sitting I could also hear the audience whispering about the performances, saying how impressed they were with the variety of genres that were performed. The audience got a fun night of entertainment and creativity. I for one felt really inspired and proud as a teacher to keep giving students more and more training and dance ammunition to get out there again next year! Plus we raised over $300 for the Oakville Humane Society and I'm donating an additional $5 per performer to the fund.
So please, if you were a performer or an audience member, please share with us your experience about our first Student's Choice Awards - write something here on our blog. We're all really interested on what the experience was like for you. What was it was like to put your choreography together then perform it? What did you get out of the experience? We all want to know.
