Ecstatic to share that my 6 students for express dance therapy @ SHINE INTERVENTION CENTER can now stretch, move and dance to the tune of DESPACITO, SHAPE OF YOU, CANT STOP THE FEELING & for their Christmas show FITZ & TANTRUM'S HANDCLAP! Moreover, my 16 ADMU college students at the IS 123.3 Intro to Improv and Choreography just completed their dance recital which they billed as Gunita last December 2, 2017 at the Gonzaga Dance Studio with flying colors.
Likewise, thrilled to perform once again for Ballet Philippines' Nutcracker along with BP artists and students of former stude, now principal of BPDS, Karla Javier, and the illustrious alums of Ballet Philippines. Glad to catch PBT's Nutcracker and Merry Widow; Ballet Manila's Snowhite & Swan Lake, CCP's Neo Filipino, and BP's Gala & Exemplars plus the Hamburg Ballet, the latter 2 even just at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater!
Last October 15 Ridgepointe Ballet joined the storytelling mode of ABAP in the annual Danseries24 with a completely shortened version of my Asean inspired Nutcracker, entitled ANI, at the Meralco Theater;
Previously on September 24, we held a successful outreach series performance at the landmark Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo, where we presented three short ballets ala Red Riding Hood meets the Wolf at the Forest, performed by four dancers. We were overjoyed and happily overwhelmed by the number of people who were at the event to witness us as an intermission number. Thanks to all of you who joined us for that special event - Bean as Red Riding Hood, Kailey as Wolf and Grandma, and Rocky & Julia as Forest. Ridgepointe is so lucky to have such a wonderful set of dancers, family and supporters. A million thanks, too, to the brilliant artist who invited us - Plet Bolipata Borlongan - for sharing your inspirational work .
