Director’s Notes Nov. 30th 2018
We have so many great things going on at NESA this month! We came back from the holiday and hit the ground running!
I want to share how every day I am so impressed with the work ethic and intelligence of our students. They volunteer when help is needed, look out for each other, and work so hard! I love seeing their smiling faces in the hall and in their classes. It reminds me every day of why I am in this position and I know my teachers feel the same way. The multitude of performances you will find below only scratch the surface of their immense talent and dedication!
- Steppin’ Into the Holidays
Our amazing holiday dance production is opens tonight to a sold out house! There are still seats available for the shows at 2:30 and 7:30 on Saturday, as well as 2:30 on Sunday, though I have no doubt the house will be full by curtain time. Tickets are $15 at the door. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.
