Studio Performance
January 27, 2008 at 4:00 p.m.
Acton School of Ballet held it's second annual studio performance by dancers in the Varations classes taught by Patricia Estorino and Marina Tomashuk. Each student in the class learned all of the varations in the program, below, and chose one to perform.
This year the performance also featured dances choreographed by students in Chip Morris's Choreography Class. The works were the result of classroom study and studio workshops. Each choreographer chose her own music, arranged rehearsals, and designed costumes.
Over sixty enthusiastic family and friends attended.
