New Season, New Site

Well, a new season has begun at Firebird Dance Studio. Welcome! 

We decided, that in the spirit of new beginnings, it was high time to dust off our Firebird Dance Studio wesite. And so we have. Come and visit us to see all the new changes to the site, and all our plans for the exciting upcoming season.

We've filled the site with new photos and updates. You can check out the new photo gallery, with show, festival, and studio galleries. While you're at it, visit our new video gallery, where we've posted a few new videos for your enjoyment!

We have a lot of exciting plans for this season, and you can keep up to date on this blog and on our website. But to give you a quick idea, here are just some of the things we have in store:

• We will be choreographing a whole new program of fusion world-contemporary dances. That means, lots of new material and choreography, new upcoming performances, lots of preparations for next year when we will celebrate Firebird's 20th Anniversary! (It also means many late nights of pacing around the living room in headphones, and hand-sewing detailing onto costumes in the wee hours of the morning for our artistic director, Lotta Lysaya Burton).
• We will be exploring and delving deeper into new forms of dance. And that means you can look forward to exciting workshop intensives on Cuban Latin Dance and Artentine Tango right out of the gate. Both of these workshops will be within the first six weeks of the 2009-2010 season, so there is lots in store for our dancers!

So, without further ado, we're off to teach, dance, perform, and create, and we hope to see you there! We're very excited. Join us for our studio's last year in its teens, before Firebird gracefully turn 20 next year.

We will leave you with a look back over the best memories of the first 18 years. Take a look at this slideshow of the warmest, funniest, loveliest moments in Firebird Dance Theatre history!
