Youth showcase their moves at dance recital RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
The recently renamed dance school, Move on the Kusp, and the Arrow Lakes Arts Council presented this year’s recital entitled, Dance Again! at the Bonnington Arts Centre last weekend. By popular demand, the venue was booked for two days for two performances in an attempt to ensure that no prospective audience member would be turned away due to seat limitations. The house was packed for both nights.

This year’s performance marked a number of firsts for many of the dancers; first time in multiple performances with costume changes, first time taking ballet, and the celebration of the first time dancers have taken their performance to competitions outside of Nakusp. Mistress of Ceremonies, Marilyn Massey summed up the year of firsts for Move on the Kusp. “The dances have been working hard on building their knowledge of their steps and technique, supporting each other as teammates and most of all, having fun,” she said.

Entry to the recital was modestly ticketed with a portion of the proceeds from the door and the concession going to the creation of a subsidy program for youth in the Nakusp area to attend performing arts classes. Dance instructor Cassia Parent also took the evening’s opportunity to inform the audience of a new summer program of dance classes and thanked the audience and the Arts Council for their endorsement. “Your support of the performing arts and the youth in the performing arts is greatly appreciated,” she said.
