Listen to the movements of these dancers as they pour their heart onto this stage.
Tickets are available on sale at Bret Harte High School or through Satori School for the Arts, Sustenance Books, Family 4 Fitness, and at the door. For more information contact Alex Kunesh at 770-5147. 5$ for students, $8 for adults, donations accepted. All proceeds benefit Bret Harte High School Dance Club “Expression” to hopefully assist in future small productions or to bring dance teachers from out of the area to teach master classes. Without these events our high school would not be able to provide this opportunity."
"It was a wonderful show, and very well done. I am pleasantly surprised high school students have such good artistic sensibilities and capabilities. While it's not widely known, I studied ballet for five years when I was young! I know dance when I see it!" stated, Bill Tracy a viewer.
Congratulations Alex for a job well done!
