SMSD PERFORMING DANCE TROUPE

> Enter Troupe Members Area

The SMSD Performing Dance Troupe is made up of students from the Shirley McPhail School of Dance. To perform with the Troupe, a student must pass an audition held in August, be at least 9 years old, with a minimum of 3 years dance experience and maintain weekly attendance in Ballet, Tap & Jazz.

Rehearsals are held on Saturdays. In addition to performing in SMSD recitals, the Troupe holds a spring show and performs in various holiday events, as well as civic, school and community functions throughout the year.

From Troupe Directors Teresa and Jennifer:

"Our trip to to Disney World in June was a huge success!!! Not only did you dance a fantastic show in Downtown Disney, you also benefited from a "mock" audition held by one of Disney's character dancers. We are extremely proud of every one of you!

TATD in Richardson, Tx proved to be exciting and fun as always! There was never a dull moment during Leslie Scott's hip hop routines! Scott Hislop also displayed gorgeous lyrical movements and fun jazz routines! Rhonda Miller always has a character routine that you will never forget and ballet is always a little more exciting with Sherry Gilpin's modern like movements!

Please take a moment to look over photos from our summer dance adventures. If you have any photos you would like to share, please send them to info@smsdance.com."
