What a hotspot of eurhythmical activity, the Banner county town was yesterday. In the Hall of
Scoil Chríost Rí. 6th class were busy putting the final touches to their presentation of the Haka and out on the Gort Rd
Ennis Educate Together NS, Fatima di Lucia was busy preparing her group of dancers for their forthcoming performance at International Day Fair. In the Old Ground
Dick O Connell was guiding dancers through their paces at the second Foinn Seisiún.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the stunning show presented by the
Dinan School of Ballet on the
Glór Stage. The show was a delightful series of dances in a broad range of styles with classsical ballet at the core in a presentation of story of the Wizard of Oz . The costumes were in a dazzling range of colours with no sparing of sequins and glitter and the performers ranged from tiny tots to experienced mature performers. The backing tracks included songs from the film interspersed with other numbers in an eclectic range of styles . I really enjoyed the tap numbers and we loved the marriage of classical ballet complete with psychadelic purple and green tutus to
Me No Speak Americano, a number which itself combines different genres.
Siobhán Sexton in the role of Dorothy had a very graceful stage presence and had the tough job of opening the show with a solo turn.
