West Side Dance Company Presents "Kaleidoscope" with Guest Artists the Maine West Winter Guard! #207Now #dance #orchesis @mainewestfab @mwactivities

 

The West Side Dance Company opened this year's show, Kaleidoscope, tonight - and it was an unforgettable experience! Each dance was inspired by a different color, turning the stage into a living canvas. From the bold energy of red to the chill vibes of blue, the dancers captured every emotion with incredible skill and style. The mix of contemporary and classic moves kept things exciting, and the theme made the whole show feel connected and meaningful. Kaleidoscope was a powerful reminder of how colors can tell stories and bring out emotions we all relate to. Congratulations to all of the student dancers, student choreographers, and director Ms. Tuesdai Perry on an incredible show!

The night was even more special with the Maine West Winter Guard performing two powerful pieces that added an extra layer of emotion and artistry to the concert. Congratulations to the Winter Guard team and Coach Kaitlyn Colyer!

There is one more performance of Kaleidoscope tomorrow night, Saturday, March 8th at 7:00 p.m. in the Maine West Auditorium. Get your tickets in advance at bit.ly/MWBoxOffice!

Their hard work and dedication were evident in every piece, earning them well-deserved applause and making the evening a proud moment for the entire Maine West community.

This opportunity to perform alongside such a renowned group was not only a testament to the ensemble’s skill but also an inspiring experience for our students, highlighting the heights that can be reached through commitment and teamwork. It was a night that will surely resonate with our musicians for years to come, leaving them motivated to continue honing their craft. A huge "thank you" to Mr. Bernie Gerstmayr for providing this performance opportunity to the students!
