STARS Student Dance Show
LSSU
Arts Center
May 16 & 17
7:00 p.m. both nights
Tickets: $10 at Soo Theatre office (534 Ashmun Street ) or at the door

Roll over Beethoven and get jiggy with it. Students of the Soo Theatre Arts Resource Studios (STARS) and Ms. Dianna George are taking to the stage at LSSU's Arts Center on May 16 and 17. Over 150 students of ballet, ballroom, hip-hop, jazz, and tap will wow audiences with choreographed moves to some of the greatest hits from the last 200 years.

The show will open with special guests, the STARS Youth Choir, singing a couple of numbers, and then the dancers will take to the limelight.

Performers range from 3-year-olds doing what they do best--acting incredibly cute--to teens and adults who have been honing their talents for years. Audiences will also be regaled with the inaugural performance of the Footlights Dance Theatre, a cadre of highly skilled dancers who will be touring the Eastern Upper Peninsula this summer.

Showtime is 7 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $10 for all seats and can be purchased at the Soo Theatre offices (534 Ashmun Street, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan) or at the door.

Soo Theatre Arts Resource Studios (STARS) is a community arts center offering instruction in music, dance, theater, visual arts and yoga for students of all ages. STARS is a program of the Soo Theatre Project, housed in the historic Soo Theatre complex. For more information on classes and lessons, call the STARS office, 632-1930.
