Down the rabbit hole, Lana’s Dance Center students takes the audience on a trip to Wonderland
Christmas in Wonderland
Lana’s Dance Center hosted their version of the children’s classic “Alice in Wonderland,” to a packed house at the Music/Mass Communication Concert Hall at Austin Peay State University Saturday evening. The program featured almost 200 of Lana’s students ranging from age 3 to adulthood, and 35 support personnel whose hard work made it all come together.
The show consisted of 2 acts with 27 scenes. As with any recital the audience empathized along with children driven to tears by stage fright, to enjoying performances by those whose gifts were clearly showcased. The Queen of Hearts, The Alices, and the Cheshire Cat were the highlights of the evening. However each and every child gave their all, and every parent should be justifiably proud.
