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!

HERE are many more pictures from tonight's show.

HERE is the program.

Thank you to the caregivers with the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters for supporting West Side Dance Company!
