“Twas the Night Before Christmas” Dance Recital

As the parking lot filled up and people swarmed into the Shaw Center Auditorium, it was clear once again that this is one of the most popular events of the year. It was a visual and musical feast as 55 dancers from the classes at Living Art Studios, along with the Graceland Gadets, provided 16 dance numbers that told a story.  Narrators between the dance numbers wove it all together by telling a fanciful story of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” right here in Lamoni. An incredible amount of work by the dancers and the dance instructors goes into this production, plus the people that work on the music, lighting, sound, costumes in a riot of Christmas colors, plus the crew helping out backstage.  It is one of the best nights of the year!
