Spring Dance Recital
The 2nd Annual Spring Dance Recital "Hot Fun in the Summertime" is scheduled for
Saturday, May 17, 6:30 p.m., at the Waconia High School: The recital is being held at
Waconia High School because neither the Chaska, Eden Prairie and Minnetonka High
Schools nor the Chaska Community Center was available when inquiries were made back
in October of 1996.
Dancers fi'om ages 3 and up will be performing to an audience of more than 400. The
current class enrollment is 100 students.
The dance program is the third highest generator of revenues for the Chanhassen
Recreation Center, being surpassed only by punch card sales and room rentals. Tile
success of this program can be attributed to the strong leadership skills of Maryann Porter,
Dance Coordinator/Instructor, and Mimi Downing, Instructor, as well as the number of
committed participants.
The program has not yet been finalized, but the students and instructors are coordinating
the recital at this time. I will forward a copy of the final program to you upon completion.
