St. Malachy Elementary School Experiences
Dance…
Student Outreach Matinee
at Jeanne Ruddy Dance
Friday, April 21st - 11am
As part of our outreach program, and 2006 Concert Season, Jeanne Ruddy Dance planed a special matinee for local fifth grade students.
Invited students observed JRD Company dancers warming up, followed by select performances from Mark Dendy's, No Fear of Flying and Jeanne Ruddy's newest work, Woa Cholena.
After the dances three students and one of their teachers were invited on stage to experience the process of learning dance movements. The audience could ask questions and all left with a 2006 concert season program and a new understanding of contemporary dance.
Here are some comments and Thank you's from the students!
“You can’t make this performance better because it was great.”
“The performance was perfect.”
“Dear Ms. Jeanne, Thank you for giving us this trip and paying for it… thank you for paying for us to get on the bus. Most people don’t do that for us but you [were] nice enough to do that. I loved the show!”
~Love always, Lonirah"
