Student Recitals
Student Recital 2016
The 2016 recital was upgraded to an actual theatre, the beautiful Sampradaya Dance Theatre in Mississauga, where the backdrop and lighting made the performances extra special! This year featured new students who braved performing for the first time, numbers such as Shakira's Hips Don't Lie and the intermediate/advanced students showcased an eclectic line up of bollywood fusion, modern fusion, and traditional Egyptian. We had a gorgeous and complex veil routine and a dramatic Isis Wings number with guest dancer and friend, Amoura, who also wowed us with an amazing cane dance. A number of soloists kept us spellbound including Jaden, Jessica, Lupita, Taran, Ethan, and Sahar. We also had special guest, Laura, who sang an original number with Taran, as well as, Joseph who showed us the timeless beauty of a tango with Tran. And lastly, as a most special feature, Sahar and Jaden, dedicated a traditional Korean fan dance to Sahar's parents with the help of reknown artist, teacher, and choreographer, Mi Young Kim, who taught Sahar and Jaden this gorgeous dance! Special thanks to Alyssa (stage manager), Zack (videographer), Nomad Bakr (photographer extraordinaire), Doug (program design), Taran (MC), Ethan & Chris (ushers), Michelle (tickets) for all their help with making this recital a night to remember!!
Student Recital 2015
Every year, this recital gets more and more exciting! More students and guest performers were added to the line-up and after missing 2014 due to the Fringe Show, it felt even more wonderful to share with friends and family! This year showcased more traditional oriental numbers, as well as, a gypsy number choreographed by Zobeita Ghattas, tribal fusion, cane, veil, and drum solo. A modern pop duet was performed by Sahar with her niece, Jaden, for the first time. And a lantern tray balancing number that mesmerized the audience in a first ever trio by Sahar, Anh, and Amoura. Thank you to Jaden and Daisy from JC for their tap and jazz duets, as well as, Jaden and Kris from It Factor for their latin ballroom demo! Special thanks to Michelle Xie and Amoura for their amazing dances and to my nephew, Kyle, who was our DJ and sang an emotional "Take Me to Church"! And thank you to our MC, Alyssa, who also helped with the set design making it look the best it has ever looked. Thank you again to Kris, our snack vendor, Christine, our stage manager, and Doug our set designer and videographer.
