The Berlin students brought down the house with their compelling performances last night at the Berliner Festspiele. The large and highly professional stage was a grand frame for the five student groups who had created their very diverse choreographies over the past week, expertly guided by the teaching artists of Battery Dance Company and Drastic Action.
Seeing the proud parents, teachers, family members and friends greet the young dancers after the performance was a treat.
We gratefully acknowledge the U.S. Embassy and Department of State, as well as Cerberus Deutschland and our wonderful hosts at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel for sponsoring the program in Berlin. Heartfelt thanks to the Berliner Festspiele for donating the gorgeous theater, and to Barbara Tennstedt and Fippe for handling the selection of schools and carefully and thoughtfully coordinating the workshops.
To all of the teachers, schools and most especially the students, we say congratulations, thank you, and hope to see you again next year!
