Holiday House

On Saturday November 14th, Light of the World Ballet Trainee Company and Ballet 6 performed at the Holiday House at Faith Heritage School in Syracuse. Because of teaching obligations, Ashley, Alyssa and Amy were unable to attend the performance, which makes this performance the first time Light of the World has performed without Ashley! Breanne became our “fearless leader” for the day though, and she did a great job directing the whole operation. We performed Basic Instructions, which is a ballet composed of three songs by Burlap to Cashmere. We had a lot of space to lay our floor and a large dressing room, which was a welcome situation after several very tight performance venues in previous weeks. We had a slight problem with the sound connections, but believe it or not we worked it out by ourselves without help from technologically handy guys.
Holiday House was buzzing with people at the time we performed, so many people stopped shopping and chatting to watch the ballet. I’m glad the Trainees finally got to dance with the Ballet 6’s—it’s always fun when there’s new faces. Everyone danced really well and the set up and tear down went very well considering the amount of dancers participating and the fact that we were sans Ashley. Afterwords I was able to mingle with several friends a hadn’t seen in a while, and I was able to get my traditional Holiday House meatball sandwich, even though it wasn’t technically on the menu this year. Overall it was a great performance, and I hope we can come back to Holiday House next year!
