This summer our company dancers had the opportunity to go on a dance trip to New York City. The dancers took classes at Broadway Dance Center and Alvin Ailey. They learned choreography from Matilda and Aladdin from Broadway cast members, took Horton technique, West African dance, hip hop, tap and contemporary. The dancers saw two Broadway shows, visited the 911 Memorial, shopped in China Town and toured Times Square. It was the trip of a lifetime. A special thank you to Thomas Tours for organizing such an amazing adventure for us!

Ann Carroll School of Dance dancers performed with Goofy on our recent trip to Disney!
On our recent trip to Disney World, the Ann Carroll Dancers had the opportunity to take classes through the Disney Performing Arts program. The dancers took ballet, tap, jazz, audition techniques and a special workshop called “Disney Magic”. The girls learned what it takes to be a professional dancer at Disney World and on Broadway. The big finale was a performance with special guest- Goofy!
One of the great things about dancing at A.C.S.D is that one year we have an outstanding performance at Tennessee Performing Arts Center and the next year the company dancers get to perform in places like New York, L.A., or Canada for many professionals. These opportunities keep the students excited and ready to work hard to achieve their goal as a dancer. This year’s trip is to Disney World! The students will have the opportunity to take class from Disney professionals. These classes have been specially designed for the Ann Carroll dancers and will include hip hop, ballet, tap, jazz, audition techniques and performance quality. If you are a company member and want to sign up for the trip, the deadline to put down a deposit is October 1, 2012.
