Director's Notes Welcome to “Winter Wonderland, 2017!”

Tonight, our magnet students will perform a holiday piece in one of the styles they have worked on this semester. Many thanks to DPHS Dance magnet alumni, Alexa Rossi, for her work this semester as a Kelly sub and for her choreography for Level 2. Many thanks to another DPHS alumni, Angela Harrison, for her salsa choreography for Level 3, and to Chris ‘Casper’ Lupis for a fun, all-magnet hip hop piece featuring our DPHS Hip Hop Crew. We are excited to have Orlando Ballet join us for community outreach under the direction of the talented Charmaine Hunter and to have Thornebrooke Elementary return for our Winter Wonderland collaboration under their new director, Billie Jo Mustonen. Much gratitude and many thanks go to Jon Lehrer and Suzanne Saltmarsh for their beautiful company pieces, and to our wonderful Encore Ensemble parent support group who helps the dance magnet in numerous ways.

DPHS Dance in Motion Company members will also share several award-winning pieces from the OCPS Dance Expose’ where they were honored with straight Superiors, Best High School, Judges' Choice and Best of Show. These pieces will be submitted for National adjudication in Pittsburgh, so please make sure not to move in the House until blackouts. Please also remember to turn off cell phones as we have professional videography and photography from Diacom and Pink Afterglow.

We are most delighted to share a community collaboration of a mini Nutcracker Suite featuring our own dance magnet senior, Ellexis Hatch as Sugar Plum, with her Cavalier, Cayel Tregeagle, guesting from Movement Arts under the direction of Troy Davis and Gina Hatch. Many thanks to Gina Hatch for her coaching of the Grand Pas and sharing her talents with our magnet students. Jesse Valcich from the DPHS theatre department adds a wonderful element with the Thornebrooke Bon Bons and Angels. It is the hope of myself and our Dual Enrollment Instructor, Miss Lesley Brasseux Rodgers, that you become enthralled with the magic of the season and treat your dancers to a full-length version of the Nutcracker.

We are so proud of all the students! This has been an amazing semester and a joyous time with all the dancers. They have been working hard in class and rehearsals to share their love of dance with you tonight. Be on the lookout for surprises during the evening! Please enjoy, please be inspired…

Happy Holidays!
