Congratulations to all the HCB dancers for two fine performances.  Everyone has done a wonderful job in bringing “Coppelia” to life in Hamilton.  For those who haven’t made it to a show there is one final performance tomorrow, Sunday, at 2pm.  A huge thank you to Mr. Max and Miss Melania for bringing everything together!

Three HCB students will be performing this evening and tomorrow evening in “An Evening of Dance” at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts.  The show begins at 7:30pm and the students- Ulana, Caleigh, and Ricky will be performing in the “Giselle” portion of the performance.  Break a leg Ulana, Caleigh, and Ricky!

Congratulations to Alissa and Emilie on their wonderful dance performances in the Hamilton Urban Theatre Production of “Hamlet”.  The acting was excellent, the set design simple but effective and the dancing enhanced the mood of this tragic tale.  The Dance Choreographer was Robert Desrosiers.  For those who missed this fine production, be sure to catch the next production by Hamilton Urban Theatre and let’s hope they include dancing again!  We are truly lucky here in Hamilton to have such a vibrant arts community in so many areas!
