Dancing on the Edge II - The Afterglow

Our apologies for not posting lately. In the weeks coming up to Dancing on the Edge II, life was a flurry of rehearsals, finishing costumes, finalizing details and squeeling with excitement. It was positively surreal when the day finally came and we were waiting for our audience to arrive.










The show was spectacular, start to finish. Lotus Energy from Grand Falls-Windsor showed no wear and tear from their long journey as they started the show with a performance that was true to their name. The excitement continued with the Saltwater Gypsies, DeeDance, Meg Ryan, Vera Murad, Christina Penney, Linda Bursey (Nachita) and Bollywood Jig. The months of work paid off for us as the Neighbourhood Strays premiered three new choreographies. We were very proud to be Strays that night, not just because of our dancing, but because we were able to raise so much money, thanks to our generous audience, for the Purple Lupin Project. The show went off without a hitch, thanks to our MC Jay and Stage Manager Kerri.

They say that pictures are worth a thousand words, so we'll let you see for yourself...
