The Dancing Tree will offer two performances this week at Kahilu Theatre in Waimea.
The first performance, “I Got Rhythm,” will be held at 7 p.m. Friday at Kahilu Theatre. “I Got Rhythm” is the product of many months of hard work, inspiring moments, and self-realization. Performed by The Dancing Tree’s Performance Company, this show will explore rhythm through a variety of dance styles, including ballet, tap, hip hop, modern and more. Choreography by Debra McGee, Amanda Trusty, and Miho Morinoue.
The company comprises 11 dancers from Kona, ranging in ages from 7 to 14. These dancers were chosen from the students of The Dancing Tree for their exceptional dedication, passion, talent, and will to learn.
The Dancing Tree is a school for dance and movement, offering classes for keiki and adults. Located just south of Kainaliu, its mission is to spread the joy and benefits of dance and movement in a fun, safe and professional atmosphere.
The Performing Company offers The Dancing Tree’s most dedicated and serious students additional opportunities in training and performances. The program is designed to prepare students for a career as dance professionals, give them valuable life skills, and bring more opportunities for the community to see dance performed on the Big Island.
The second performance, “Gotta Dance!” is slated Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The performance features students of The Dancing Tree ranging in age from 3 to adult. They will present a variety of styles such as ballet, break dancing, contemporary, tap and show that they’ve practiced throughout the year.
Tickets for both shows are $12/$17/$22/$27 and available at the Kahilu Theatre’s box office or online at kahilutheatre.org.
