30 Wednesday, December 21, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon RECITAL: Full house enjoyed talents of young dancers Agenda Continued from page 3 tiny ballerinas danced in front of stunning imagery of a Christmas tree as the audi- ence laughed and cheered. In Spain, families cel- ebrate Three Kings Day. Around dusk on January 5, the three kings Melchor, Gazpar and Baltasar magi- cally arrive. That night chil- dren leave out their shoes to hold the gifts the three kings bring to celebrate the three wise men bringing gifts to the newborn king. In the number “Three Kings Day,” choregraphed by Kayla Williams, nine dancers from the junior ensemble performed ballet to PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Unique backdrops enhanced the dance production. the popular Christmas song “We Three Kings of Orient Are.” Each year, the grand finale is a joy to watch. “Do You Hear What I Hear” began with 6- and 7-year-old danc- ers performing ballet to the song “Children Will Listen” (from “Into the Woods”) by One Voice Children’s Choir. The dance depicted a tradi- tional Norwegian feast day that came about because of St. Lucia, a young girl in the Middle Ages who helped bring food down to the dark tunnels where the persecuted Christians would hide. As the story goes; she wore a white dress with a wreath of can- dles around her head to light the way. The song changed to the popular Christmas song “Do You Hear What I Hear.” And to end that special performance, 130 dancers lit the way through the audito- rium past the audience hold- ing battery-operated candles and back up on stage for a standing ovation. “The idea behind this per- formance is that young chil- dren have the capacity to be in tune with others,” Liddell told The Nugget. “Children are very perceptive as they experience everything around them by what they hear.” Sisters City Council City Hall, 520 E.
