Hollywood Holiday!
Kia's FRDance (Fascinating Rhythm School of Performing Arts) recently hosted a Hollywood Holiday where young, aspiring Stars learned about Hollywood's Hey-Day (watching and studying movies of the by-gone era of great entertainers such as Gene Kelly, Shirley Temple, Bo Jangles, Julie Andrews, et al), learned musical-style songs and dances, designed costumes, and more. At the end of the week, the young performers dressed in glamorous attire, rode in a limo around South Reno, to formally exit and walk the red carpet to the flashes of paprazzi (parents). The evening was capped off by a performance and movie (That's Entertainment). It was great fun!
Here is one mom's blog of the event.

Personal Applause:
Kia's FR Dance was chosen as the exclusive studio to provide children cast as the LOST BOYS for the recent Peter Pan show performed at the Eldorado and produced out of London, England! The show ran from November 18, 2011 – January 1, 2012, and was often sold out.

Although the principal cast (Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, et al) were professional actors/singers from London, England or New York City, the children portraying the Lost Boys were all local young performers, ranging in age from 7-14 years old. We are extremely proud that our performing arts school was diligently selected to represent the entire cast of children.

We look forward to more adventures working with Big Family Entertainment, LLC, and Quintin Young, the producer/director out of London, England. From the great success of the Peter Pan show, I am confident that we will indeed “tread the boards” together again on another theatrical endeavor.
A standing ovation to all – especially for the 18 talented Lost Boys!
XO,
Miss Kia
