Spring Concert 2021

“British Invasion.”What a wonderful way to celebrate amazing artists like the Beatles, Petula Clark and The Animals. And then we'll enter into the wonderful world of the Broadway Cabaret with lots of glitz, glamour, Broadway and tap dancing as a fun,

energetic way to end our year of dance.

And what a team we have to help make this, and all of our concerts this year come to life! From our production team hanging backdrops, creating lights, sound and props…..to our amazing studio team…Jen and Meghan at the front desk not only making sure everyone gets to their classes and back to their car safely, but taking temperatures, sorting costumes, answering phones, and anything else that may arise…the amazing Nik, who does it all from billing, answering your questions, taking care of the building, and even helping us with several of our classes and rehearsals….the beautiful, talented and amazing instructors and choreographers who are masters in their field – Michael James, Mimi Lawry, Stephanie Darr, Nikki McMullen, Taylor Hanna, Biannah Peji-Palm and Katie Aguilar. The years of training, expertise, talent and passion from this list

of artists could fill twelve football fields and beyond. It is an honor to be their colleague and friend. Most importantly, it is our students that are the stars, the focus, and the main reason we are all here. Here’s to THEM! The ones who have endured this past year of change and uncertainty yet, are the ones entering our building with infectious positive energy with the desire to be artists in spite of any pandemic that may get in their way. They are our heroes and we salute them.

So BRAVO to a year of amazing artists whose love for dance rises above any barrier that may keep them away. And to YOU, the parents who support and love them. We salute you.

And a reminder we have many exciting events onthe calendar for students and parents!! Students interested in auditioning for the student dance company, Rose Dance Project and/or Rose Brigades have auditions Sat. June 5! And be sure to join us Sat. June 12 for our STUDIO OPEN HOUSE! Parents and guests are invited into our amazing new facility for tours, performances of our Rose Dance Project, Rose Brigade, sample classes, and so much more!! Don’t hesitate to contact Nik Whitcomb, Mimi Lawry, or myself with questions.

And now, grab your Union Jack, tux, fringe dress. It’s time to enjoy music from across the pond and the Broadway Cabaret!

Congratulations Broadway at the Rose performers! Welcome to the 2019 Broadway Spring Concert. This packet includes NEW and Important information about the 2019 Musical Theater and Dance Concerts. Please read through its entirety and direct all questions to the Education Coordinator Deprecia Wright at 402-502-4617 or depreciaw@rosetheater.org.

NEW! This year we will have TWO Dance Concerts on Saturday, May 18th. As director, I am committed to keeping an artistic integrity as we accommodate a larger audience and maintain reasonable show length for younger performers. With the large number of families involved in our program, it impossible to accommodate all siblings to be in the same show. However, we are proud to accommodate our youngest dancers performing in

only one show, while many older students have the opportunity to perform twice.

We hope you enjoy this new format, as we have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to provide two new and exciting dance concerts with different dancers in each while providing the professional, quality production our returning families have enjoyed in past years. At the end of the first show the theater will be closed to reset the stage and clean the theater. No students or families will be allowed in the theater or backstage during this time. Refreshments will be available for sale in the lobby after each show.

We invite all dancers to participate in our 3-week dance intensive in June and our 4-week intensive “Swing, Swing, Swing,” in July. The “Swing” dance intensive will culminate with a fully costumed and produced dance extravaganza starring the students! Students, please join us for this premier dance intensive and event of Omaha starring.....YOU!
