It had been a
long day, and most campers were overjoyed simply to sit in the cool theater.
Thursday night was the dance show, several weeks in the making. |
 |
 |
The audience was
introduced to their hosts: Kate, Sam, Melissa, and Jay. Throughout the
entire show, they performed little skits between dances, some even mocking
some of their own lack of dancing skills. |
I am not a
critic, nor have I been trained in dance, so my commentary other than "That
looks hard" might be obsolete. Therefore, I am going to rely on the
phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words". |
|
First up was a Senior dance to
the song Cabaret. |
   |
|
Next came Freshmen and Sophomores
with "El Salam". |
  |
|
The Juniors came next with "Every
Time we Touch". |
 |
|
Broadway showed
its face at Centenary when Seniors performed "Today For You" from the Tony
award winning musical RENT. |
  |
|
The next act was interactive.
It was an Apache contest. |
It was a tough call... |
 
 |
 |
...but the audience soon chose a
winner. |
|
Next up was a
collection of older girls with "We Run This". |
 |
 |
Followed by the Chinese
Nutcracker Dance. |
|
Next was Susan G.
with a solo dance entitled "Dear Mr. President". A beautiful song,
Susan's timing was perfect, and her moves flawlessly designed to fit the
song. As the music began to die down, I found myself unlatching the
cord around my wrist that held my camera and placing it on the ground so I
would deliver the deserved round of applause. These are pictures that
don't say enough words. |
   |
|
Next came the seniors with "Send
Me on My Way". |
  |
|
And the last
scheduled dance was Shake, which consisted of almost all the dancers that
had performed. |
  |
|
On the program,
there exists, after the names, the phrase "**SPECIAL PERFORMANCE**".
Many people contemplated what it could be, but nobody got it correct.
It ended up being Counselors Jimmy and Alex doing their own dance. |
  |
|
After this, the
entire cast took a bow, and welcomed Stu to the stage. |
  |
  |
And after a quick
shake of the booty, he gave direction s for the rest of the night. |
...making sure to
thanks the fabulous hosts whose work was almost done for them because of the
amazingly talented cast. |
