Staff Report-
INDIANAPOLIS – The Lee Anne Stewart Fusion Dance Team competitors attended classes and had a successful weekend at the Indianapolis DanceMakers Competition and Convention. The team was awarded with a first-place trophy for “Cats” and a second-place trophy for “Transylvania Mania”. Both dances also qualified for the June DanceMakers National Finals in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Dancers, including 23 Lee Anne Stewart dancers, arrived in Indianapolis from around the region to take classes from nationally recognized instructors in ballet, hip hop, tap, jazz, lyrical and contemporary dance styles. While new choreography and proper dance technique is a primary focus during the workshops, the dancers also learned about the importance of proper nutrition, stretching, strengthening and etiquette. The Lee Anne Stewart Fusion Dance competitors have been taking dance classes at the Nappanee and Syracuse dance schools and also diligently attending extra rehearsals each week in preparation for their various performances, including an exhibition for the Warsaw Taste and Trade event and selections from “The Nutcracker” with Symphony of the Lakes. Their hard work will continue as they prepare for the June Lee Anne Stewart dance production and a performance in a Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom parade and on stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park. Classes at the Syracuse and Nappanee Lee Anne Stewart Dance Schools continue through May, followed by the dance productions and registration for fall dance classes. Summer and fall registration information is available online at stewartdanceschool.com, at the dance studios or by calling 877-658-9875. The Fusion dance competitors and all other Lee Anne Stewart dancers will be performing in “Celebrate the Date”, this year’s annual dance school production to be held at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center June 9, 10, 16, 17 and 18. Tickets are $8.50 each and may be purchased at the door or by calling 877-658-9875.
