become a more recognized

Two research projects,
focused on how to enhance
the local creative economy,
were conducted in 2011 and
2016. They point to the bene-

that now may be the time to
begin the process of develop-

The Sisters Dance
Academy will be performing
their ninth-anniversary spring
dance recital on Saturday,
June 17, at the Sisters High
School Auditorium.
The theme of this year’s
performance is “Dancing
Through Time,” and each per-
formance will truly take the
audience on a beautiful jour-
ney through the ages through
amazing music, costuming —
and, of course, dance.
Featured performances
include the contemporary
dance piece, “Hallelujah,”
defining an era dated back
to 1025 B.C. Dancers will
depict the fables of Greek
goddesses as well as por-
traying a journey of the
first pilgrims. Fifteen danc-
ers en pointe will visit the
1600s at the French Palace
of Versailles. Performers will
step into the 1900s and dance
their way through the Roaring
20s, the Great Depression of
the 1930s, as well as the age
of jazz and swing that carried
through to the 1940s and ’50s
with songs such as “Rosie the
Riveter” and “Born to Hand
Jive.”
Dancers will represent the
1960s through to our modern
day, as well as reaching ahead
with a futuristic ballet piece
entitled “Virtuoso.”
“The dancers have had so
much fun getting a little taste
of what it must have been like
to be living in different eras
through time and can’t wait
to share all they have learned
over the past six months,”
said Sisters Dance Academy
proprietor Lonnie Liddell.
“The Sisters Dance Academy
invites our community to
support all of the hard work
and effort put in by over 150
dancers, ranging in age from
3 to 18 years old.”
There will be two shows
on Saturday, June 17: a mati-
nee at 1 p.m. and an evening
performance at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for adults
and teens, $5 for youth ages
12 and younger. Purchase
advance tickets in the studio
office at 325 N. Arrowleaf
Trail, Ste. #107 or at the door.
Tickets are reserved seating.
