Dance Company To Hold 14th Make-A-Wish Fundraiser By An Mead Ash
Lisa Kalinowski, founder of CoJoMotion Dance Company of the Lititz Academy of Dance, is looking to the future, with hopes of topping $300,000 raised for Make-A-Wish cumulatively with the 14th annual “A Season for Wishes.” But Kalinowski is also looking back. “We are bringing some dance numbers back from (past shows),” she said, noting that at least three numbers that were popular in the past will return this year. The 2018 presentation of “A Season for Wishes” will take place at Manheim Township High School, 115 Blue Streak Blvd., Lancaster, on Saturday, Dec. 1, beginning at 6 p.m. All proceeds from the event, which will include a poinsettia sale, a bake sale, and a Chinese auction featuring a
number of theme baskets, will benefit Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware, and Susquehanna Valley. “Dance numbers that will return this year will include ‘Mele Kalikimaka,’ ‘Trepak,’ and ‘Hot Chocolate,’” noted Kalinowski. She added that “Mele Kalikimaka” will include some extra surprises, and that both “Trepak” and “Hot Chocolate” will be tap numbers. Kalinowski has changed the presentation for this year by opening with a compilation of three songs in a show that will feature more than 20 dance numbers performed to holiday favorites such as “Jingle Bell Rock,” “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” “Snow,” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” Dance styles will include tap, jazz, modern, ballet, and Rockette-style kicklines. Santa Claus will visit from 5 to 6 p.m., and Make-A-Wish family members will speak at the event. See Dance Company pg 2
