Local Dancers to Perform in Peter Pan
Artistic Dance Conservatory’s Kinetic State Ballet will entertain audiences of all ages this year with performances at local schools and the Pleasant View Senior Center, dancing the childhood favorite, Peter Pan. “The dancers have been working so hard to bring this story to life, and they are excited to share it with you”, remarked choreographer Rebecca Gamache-Sutter at a recent rehearsal. The Kinetic State Ballet Company is a non-profit division of the conservatory that brings the art of dance to our local schools and neighborhoods year-round. In addition to upcoming performances, this year they performed for Longmeadow Montessori, Meadowbrook school, Mountain View School and the Wingate Nursing Home. Artistic Dance Conservatory is under the direction of Jennifer Gamache-Dubilo and this will be the seventh year that she has organized these outstanding events. “We really appreciate the support we receive from our dancer’s families, friends and local businesses. Without their help, our goal of bringing the performing arts to our community could not be realized” said Gamache-Dubilo of the generosity of her supporters.
