With every show, with every season, with every year Emotions Dance goes through expected and unexpected changes. After a very successful Artsfest 2010 performance of Muddle and topped off with an exceptional experience at Orlando’s Nude Nite, we were ready for some much needed breathing, and creative time. As with every “break” between shows, we scope Orlando for new and refreshing talent. Emotions Dance added three new company members, Amanda Miller, Lorien McDavid and Stephanie Hayes. All have exceptional artistic and technical talent and I am so pleased to have them on board as company members. We also had shocking news and had to say goodbye to one of Emotions first company members. Alicia Klenk, who had been part of Emotions Dance since it’s conception in July of 2007, had to retire from Emotions Dance company due to a debilitating hip injury. Alicia performed over 10 different concerts, events, and performances with Emotions Dance throughout her 3 years and we will be sad to see her go. She is, along with other retired company member, Alexis Bohrnstedt- Rapp, now a member of Emotions Dance Board of Directors and will still be an active part in the company endeavors.
Changes occur throughout everyone’s life, situation, environment. Change can be difficult, but also help people grow into something better. Emotions Dance is sad to say goodbye to some great members, but is also very excited to embrace new company members as well. Look for our new dancers in our next performance Untold Stories 2, which will premiere in May of 2010
