The very first dance recital for some of the students at Gildenfire Dance was held at The Kenney to the delight of their parents and assembled senior citizens on Feb. 4. It's a twice a year event. CLICK THE IMAGE ABOVE TO SEE MORE
Jenna Thomas Lutton brings her dance students from Gildenfire Dance twice a year to the Kenney for a recital she calls "Random Acts of Dancing." While Lutton teaches dance to girls from 2 1/2 to 11 the girls dancing in the recital ranged in age from 5 to 7. This was their first recital and Lutton's fourth time at the Kenney.
"It's a no fail atmosphere," she said," as long as they are trying and having a good time that's the goal."
Her students performed for parents and assembled senior citizens, dancing, sometimes not exactly in unison or on the beat to the absolute delight of the nearly capacity crowd.
Gildenfire Dance is located in the Highland Park Community Club and Lutton, who has a degree in dance has been teaching for 12 years. After the recital the most favored activity seemed to be giving their teacher a big hug and having their photo taken with her.
