Dance Rehearsals!


We're busy rehearsing for our final presentation on May 18th here at Echo Mountain. Last week we built props out of carboard. We had a lot of fun painting them outside.

This week we've been rehearsing the movement parts of our program. Take a look at these pictures from our practice!
As you can see, we're having a lot of fun practicing our cool dance moves!

Echo Mountain's Play Review

On Wed, March 24 our class headed over to Paradise Valley High School to see their production of Aladdin. We LOVED it! We definitely laughed and clapped a lot. On the bus ride home, we had a discussion about the show, talking about the parts we liked and analyzing some of the more dazzling effects to see if we could figure out how they were accomplished. We came up with some pretty cool theories about how Prince Ali’s elephant danced around the stage. Our class enjoyed the production so much, many of the students wanted to see it again. One student said, “I liked the play better than the movie!”

We’re on spring break now, and the teachers of the Echo Mountain Drama Class are busy organizing all the incredible work we’ve done in class over the year into a play we can present to our family and friends at the end of the year!
