The Culture House: Academy, Theater

From Christiane...

Bonjour!

We are excited to spend this year with all of you. The Culture House has become, as some students will say, a second home away from home. It is a community where I am thrilled to see students growing and learning together while forging life long friendships.

The School of Dance is blessed to have some of the finest teachers in Kansas City. Each teacher is here to encourage and challenge each student to become their best at whatever level they are at.

“Dancers Are the Athletes of God”. - Albert Einstein

Our student body ranges from 3 to 50 years old and it is our goal us to see each student grow and excel. Each student is taught to encourage one another and in so doing, develop a wonderful spirit of joy.

It is our desire to see our students embracing these words: “Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another”

It is then with great joy and enthusiasm that the School of Dance will be producing “The Lion King” dance production for the end of the year performance (June 12 & 13). Join us for this delightful program featuring lovable and not so lovable characters such as Simba, Rafiki, Mufasa, Sarabi, Scar, Timon and Pumbaa. June 12&13, 2009 - Youthfront Auditorium

The Dance Academy is also the home of three different junior Performance Groups.

Infinity:
Our senior dance company based on ballet and modern choreography. Infinity dancers will perform in a wide variety of public settings as well as the Winter Concert. Infinity dancers will take their inspirational message out into Kansas City to lift spirits and give hope.

Exusia:
Our junior Jazz and Modern Company performs electric pieces to entertain audiences throughout the year. Whether it's in our Winter Concert, at a church or at an assisted living center, Exusia brings a smile to everyone they meet.

Anavia:
Our junior ballet/modern company is introduced to expressive and creative choreography by some of our best artists here at The Culture House. The dancers have a wonderful time working and creating together.

Störling Dance Theater's Artist Develoment Program

For those interested in a career in dance, don't forget about The Störling Dance Theater Artist Development Program. Through its unique teaching curriculum, students will learn advanced techniques in Ballet and Modern dance as well as Jazz, Tap and Corporeal Mime (the physical theater technique that has shaped the powerful performances of Störling Dance Theater.) The program also provides courses in costume design and construction, choreography, lighting and set design. In addition to instruction in the various dance techniques, students participate in classroom studies of culturally and spiritually relevant literature, attend arts performances and exhibits throughout the city, engage in discussion groups of modern cultural thought, and learn the significance of Judeo-Christian thought as it relates to the arts as a whole. (for more information)

“Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things” Paul

“When is doubt… DANCE!” and Have Fun!

Merci
