News for May 2002

• Fremont's Young Artists Showcase.
Congratulations to all of our top-notch dancers who performed at Fremont's 15th Annual Young Artists Showcase on May 15th. Megan Ellis' solo performance of "Whistle Down the Wind," as well as our group performances of "Deliver Me," "God Bless Us, Everyone," "Proud to Be", and "Can't Stand the Rain," were spectacular!

• Students Meet Maya Angelou
Dancers from our winning "Phenomenal Women" met the author of the poem to which they dance, Maya Angelou. They also presented her with a video tape of their performance. Maya Angelou is a world-wide literature icon and a wonderful inspiration and role-model for our dancers. One of her best known works is "I know why the caged bird sings."

• Marissa Mattos shines at competition.
Our own Marissa Mattos performed at the Dance U.S.A. Regional Dance Competition held in San Francisco from May 4 to 5. She performed her tap solo, "Five Guys Named Moe." It was the highest scoring solo in all age categories. She also scored the highest among teen routines, which included solos, duets, trios and groups. Marissa is a freshman at Washington High School. Congratulations Marissa!
