The cast members of the Lord of the Dance came to town Wednesday to teach a master class to the students of the Dancin’ Feet School of Gaelic Culture and Dance.
Ren’ee Ginell, director of the school, said the class was a fantastic opportunity and all of the students learned a great deal from the professionals.
“We were flabbergasted by their talents and abilities,” said Ginell. “It was a great measuring stick to see where we are and to light a fire under us to see where we can go in the future.”
Even though it was a master class being taught, even the youngest students got an opportunity to get on stage with the professionals to learn.
Each of the parents of the dance students were asked to bring a dish to pass, a Celtic tradition, which made the dancers feel at home, said Ginell. “They were flabbergasted by the hospitality.”
All in all, she said, it was great timing.
“It was a great welcome back from Easter break, and it was wonderful timing because we have our recital coming up on May 18.”
