For something new, we have arranged an opportunity with
Pamela Burnside from West Plains who specializes in Music Theater Dance. She
has volunteered to help us; her Bio is below.
We will be working on a musical comedy number for the
Springfield Cardinals game on Aug 22, 2015.
We will perform around 6:00 PM. It
will be a basic jazz routine to "You Gotta Have Heart" from Damn
Yankees. We will be wearing Cardinals t shirts and grey shorts (knit) that
you will be responsible for. Tickets will be purchased before the game and are
usually $8.00 or $9.00 per person. We dance before the game and then stay
for the game. The kids will be dancing on the grass.
Pamela Burnside is a graduate of the University of Denver
with a Masters of Fine Arts Degree in Theatre, Dance & Education. She
has been dancing since the age of 2 1/2 which gives her 63 years of experience.
She began assisting her teacher in Dodge City, Kansas at the age of 13.
She had a large studio in Denver for 34 years and then moved to West
Plains. Pamela has been here almost 11 years. (I have known her for 9 of
those years.) She is active in the community choreographing the musicals for the
Avenue Theatre and the local schools. She has studied and taught classes in:
ballet , tap, jazz, musical comedy, celtic hard and soft shoe, 3 types of clog,
