Dance Gala to Award Grier Summer Scholarships
We are excited to announce the 2017 Grier Gala! This is an annual event organized by Grier Summer's own Director of Dance Mrs. Jocelyn Hrzic. The Gala brings master dance instructors to the Grier campus and culminates in two nights of performances by professional dance companies and students of dance. At Gala, Grier Summer will award scholarships for our Dance Intensive Program.
Participation in the Gala is open to current Grier students and to dancers from other studios. Some dancers come from as far as Mexico or Bermuda to take part in the Grier Gala.
This year's week of mentor-ship under Jon Lehrer of Lehrer Dance will be followed by a Friday evening Student Showcase performance where students exhibit the dance technique and choreography developed during the week. On Saturday and Sunday, additional guest faculty instructors offer workshops from 9:00am-2:30pm. For many, the pinnacle of Gala is the Saturday evening showcase featuring performances by professional dance companies. The 2017 Gala includes performances by:
