Dance Studio recitals coming
June 12, 2011
This year's Dance Studio dance recital takes place at 7 p.m. Friday, June 17, and Saturday, June 18, both at the Bonners Ferry High School Becker Auditorium, and dance instructor Barb Russell is promising an exciting performance!

The theme this year is Broadway and Films, a concept chosen by some of her older students who are especially interested in theater. Ten classes will be performing, from Tiny Tots, aged three years old, to her advanced classes, including the three seniors participating; Charena Branscum, who has danced at the Dance Studio since she was a Tiny Tot; Ben Heart, who plans to pursue a career in theater, and Diana Chansoutdinova, an exchange student from France!

Tickets to the recital performances are $5, and are available at the door or at Mountain Mike's.

Here are just some of the dancers you'll be seeing at the recitals.
