Our fabulous Youth Ensemble got the opportunity to provide some intermission entertainment at Thodos Dance Chicago's opening night of the Fall Concert at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. After warm-up class and a dinner break (including an exciting trip to the Panera....), we got in costumes and waited until right before intermission to enter the lobby.

The concert was almost sold out, and nearly 800 people poured into the lobby to watch our girls in their newly finished piece, "Dance Through the Ages", choreographed by Ms. Jessica. It's difficult to see the dance in the video because of where I was standing, but you should get an idea of how many people got to see them! After 2 run throughs, we quickly changed and headed to the auditorium to watch the second half of the show.

The world premier of "Fosse Trilogy" was by far the highlight of the evening for me. With so many dramatic works in Thodos' rep it was nice to see them just dance and have fun and play with the audience.

If you didn't get a chance...
