Our Throwback Thursday of the week is non other than Emma Hoang! Currently a fifth grader, Emma has a passion for video gaming, animating, drawing, reading, and of course dancing! When Emma grows up she wants to be an artist or an actress on broadway. Emma’s favorite memory at Stagelight was back in our 2015 Holiday Showcase, where she performed her first tap routine on stage. She described it as the most fun she’s had on stage. Her ultimate dream role is Elphaba in “Wicked.” We are incredibly proud of you Emma, and we love having you as a Stagelighter!

We had a BLAST working with our “business partners” from Laurel Elementary Magnet School this morning! This creative group of 4th graders nailed their musical theatre class and performance, identified countless artistic and marketing details around the studio, and were presented with their business marketing project.

We can’t wait to see what these scholar/artist/business-kids come up with! The future is SO BRIGHT— Power Up!

It’s another Throwback Thursday, and this time, we’re featuring our very FIRST Stagelighter, Bonnie QB! She and her family literally helped BUILD both of our studio locations. Currently a junior in high school, Bonnie’s passions are dance, choreography, and choir. She ultimately wants to be a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher. Her favorite Stagelight memories are taking our Teen Rotation class when we first opened (focusing on a different discipline every week), filming the Martin Luther King, Jr. tap dance, and performing a solo in one of our Summer Showcases. Her dream role is any character in “A Chorus Line.” Bonnie, it has been a true honor watching you grow as a young lady and as a performer, and we couldn’t be more proud of you!
