And just like the holidays, it’s once again aiming to make sure everyone can join in on the celebration. The Academy of Dance Winter Concert is set for the Summit Center Theatre at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24. According to Academy of Dance owner Dorota Dannenbring, this is the academy’s second holiday concert, with the first taking place in 2017. “It was loved by everyone, so we decided to go for a holiday concert in 2019,” Dannenbring told the Press & Dakotan. She added that it’s going to be a big, all-encompassing show. “We have everybody in the dance studio participating,” she said. “We have fathers who are dancing. We have high school boys that are partnering with our high school beauties — ages 3-adult altogether.” The show is split into a number of performances and will include Christmas music and a number of costumes. Some of the performances include “Christmas in Sarajevo,” “Light of Christmas,” “Christmas Without You,” “It’s Not Christmas Without You” and “Holidays Around the World.” In alternate years, the Dakota Dance Association presents “The Nutcracker.” Dannenbring said the holiday concert grew out of a desire to try a new concept. “Let’s do something that doesn’t have tryouts that doesn’t separate dancers from getting different parts,” she said. “We come together equal and our dance studio comes to- Yankton Community Holiday Feast Set gether to perform with no solos, with no tryouts and with no broken hearts.” She added that the show also aims to raise money for a great cause. During the last holiday concert, the Academy donated proceeds to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital with plans to do it again this year. Dannenbring said she’s unsure of exactly how many dancers will be taking part in this year’s concert. “Straight from Riverboat Days, we jumped into our fall session and we’re just going 100 miles per hour to have this performance,” she said. “We started this in September and it is a straightthrough rehearsal season. … It’s going to be a stagefull many, many times.” One of the six teachers helping bring the show together is Kathryn Reimler, who told the Press & KELLY HERTZ/P&D Dakotan there’s a lot Yankton’s Academy of Dance will present its biennial winter concert Sunof moving parts that day, with performances at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the Yankton High School have to be organizedtheatre.
