SEA-MOVES Dance (Act I, Scene VI)

These photos were taken during rehearsal for the performances of the Holiday Concert 12 Dancers Dancing, a Christmas in Cambridge Dec.2008. UNBELIEVABLY, I had dislocated my kneecap only 3 weeks before!!! The doctor thought it would be months before I danced again. I literally did physical therapy on it morning, noon and night- 5 times a day in all. I am also certified as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor by the American Council on Exercise and am certified as a Health Fitness Specialist by the American College of Sports Medicine. I used everything I learned about acute injury management and strengthening to get back in double time. I am proud of these pictures as I can't believe I could dance this cleanly so soon after a major injury.

BALLET STORIES

Hi, everyone! I'm excited to post this new blog about my upcoming workshop at the Massachusetts Dance Festival this August! My workshop is called Ballet Stories and is on August 22nd, Sunday at the Boston Ballet School and on August 29th, Sunday at the Univ. of Mass at Amherst from 2-3pm. More info can be found on the Mass Dance Festival website: www.massdancefestival.org and email: info@massdancefestival.org.
Phone is 508-429-7577.

Enchanting class for 5-7 year olds. Combines ballet with creative movement. We will read a story and explore the ballet through music, costume and dance! Fun, age-appropriate choreography will be part of the exhilarating experience of learning one of the most enjoyable ballets in the repetoire! Children will leave with a smile and be excited to continue their study of dance. Appropriate for children with little to no dance experience as well as those who have already begun their dance training.

I have just finished my Tell-Tale Heart production and have uploaded a couple of light-hearted moments at the Boston Center for the Arts.

FINISH LINE!!

Hi, everybody! This is to bring you all up-to-date on the AWESOME progress that we have had on preparing for the World Premiere of Kira Seamon Presents: the Tell-Tale Heart Ballet, based on the famous Edgar Allen Poe short story. Rehearsals have been a pleasure to participate in as our Narrator is doing an amazing job bringing the short story to life with her drama. The music is meshing so well with my choreography that, the production has that seamless quality to it where you think all the elements come together so well, that the production is the best that it could be! I am happy that my vision for this short story has been completed and we are ready to perform!! Come see the Tell-Tale Heart at the Boston Center for the Arts! Tickets are 617-933-8600 or www.bostontheatrescene.com (search Tell-Tale Heart)

P.S. Here are some photos taken at the Boston Center for the Arts during my performance week. Some show me at the kiosk outside the Center, some show me at the sandwich board outside the Center, some show pictures used to create the poster, some show me at the piano in my dance costume (I like to accompany my singers on the piano as part of my show).
