Rehearsal for Fanfare and Variations  Photographer: Manny Rotenberg
2 lecture demonstrations at two different sites :)
The day started with an accident on the 5 as I was going in, so I thought things were going to be a repeat of yesterday. Luckily, it was just a little blip. Got to the first Nutcracker LD with plenty of time. Solana Vista Elementary. So the dancers had plenty of time to warm up and get used to the space. The school has a sort of common space, carpeted pit/kiva. Very 80's. But a nice vibe. Kindergarten and 1st grade only.

Second show was at Sequoia Elementary. Also very nice, but it started to rain a bit when we got there. This school was just a little more difficult. K through 6th grade. So had to work a little more to keep them all involved. But a good time was had by all. The principal forgot to tell me that I would have less than 50 minutes, so we went a little over. So we had some classes that had to drift away as Waltz of the Flowers played on and on.
