We're so excited to finally share a glimpse into our 2024 Annual Gala! It was such a special time to perform together as a company, so here are a few highlights from the show. Enjoy!
Today, we had our first day of class! We are ready and eager to create for our fall show. 💃
Meet Alexis! She has been an active member in orchesis for 1 semester. This summer she has been nannying, dog sitting, volunteering as a camp counselor, and spending time with family and friends. She also went to a Niall Horan concert, and Minnesota! "I’m so excited to be back dancing with my Orchesis buddies🥰"
Meet Izzy! She has been an active member in orchesis for 2 semesters. Her summer has been "packed full of love, laughter, lifeguarding, cats, and travel! I've seen so many beautiful sights including mountain views, northern lights, rolling waves, the tops of the clouds, beautiful sunsets, waterfalls, and fireworks! This has definitely been one of the most jam-packed and memorable summers of my life. It’s been a blessing to spend it with such wonderful friends and family. However, I can’t wait to get back to dancing in the studio so soon!!"
We are officially 3 weeks away from auditions! If you are interested in dancing and being a part of a special group in college, come join us on August 25th from 2-4 pm in the WRC room 187. If you have questions about auditions or the organization, email us at [email protected]. We would love to see you there!
