Laramie Dance & Arts Center presents “The Buried Moon Ballet” May 4&5<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Buried Moon Ballet,\u201d an original production by Jordyn Brummond and featuring costumes handmade by Beth Brummond, appears on the Laramie High School Auditorium stage on Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5. Performances are 7:30 pm Friday, May 4, and on Saturday, May 5, a matinee at 2:30 pm, followed by a final evening performance at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7.50 for children for the evening performances; matinee rates are $8 adults, $5.50 children. Seniors are $7.50 for evening performances and $5.50 for matinee. As an added bonus, families can donate $2 of their children\u2019s ticket price to their elementary school PTA or preschool, and seniors can donate $2 of their ticket to the Eppson Senior Center!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brummond is a pointe, ballet, modern and lyrical instructor at Laramie Dance & Arts Center (LD&A), and has been since summer of 2014, when owners Levi and Kati Hime purchased Laramie Dance Center. The Himes changed the name of the center in 2015, moving it away from its ballet-centered previous focus to one that includes ballet among many types of dance, art, music and movement. Multiple performances featuring the diverse programming at Laramie Dance & Arts Center happen throughout the year, including Irish, belly dance, cheerleading, hip hop, tap and more. The center also is home to Snowy Range Music Together (a music and movement program for babies through preschoolers and a loving adult), and Snowy Range Taekwondo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Brummond\u2019s third original ballet production, taken from inspirations in fables and classic tales. Jordyn creates the story line, characters, selects the music and creates the choreography all by hand. She directs all rehearsals and coordinates team bonding events for the dancers. Participation in the ballet is an additional, optional activity offered to the students at LD&A, and is an inexpensive activity for the participants. Brummond donates her time and expertise to weekend rehearsals over the course of many months, and the students\u2019 cost is the cost of their shoes and other garments needed to support the costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordyn\u2019s mother Beth Brummond creates the dancers\u2019 costumes by hand every year. \u201cThese are incredible, priceless creations,\u201d co-owner Kati Hime says. \u201cThe sewing is exquisite, the fabrics they choose are beautiful, and you couldn\u2019t find hand-tailored costumes like these at a low price. They are truly one of a kind. We are so fortunate to have Beth\u2019s passion on display on stage for these young ladies.\u201d The costumes this year take on a celestial theme, with a beautiful surprise twist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s production follows the plight of the moon, who is stolen and buried. Villagers must take it upon themselves to find the moon and restore it to its rightful place in the night sky, surrounded by the stars that guard it. This is a family-friendly story and performance that is sure to delight all ages. LD&A dancers will also be on hand for a meet and greet photo op with young ballet hopefuls after each performance in the lobby way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets are available at the door or ahead of time by calling 742-6767. Laramie Dance & Arts Center is a welcoming program that accepts all levels and ages of people who are passionate about the arts. See their schedules, class descriptions and more at laramiedancecenter.com.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Anne Collection
\nBy:Erin Jensik<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Anne Collection is a ready-to-wear, eco-friendly line inspired by French Provincial furniture and its color palette. I wanted this line to be comfortable, flattering, and versatile. The open backs and form-fitting pieces creates an edgy, confident energy while the bamboo\/cotton knit fabric makes these garments comfortable enough to spend all day in.<\/p>\n

Salvaje
\nBy: Yair Sanchez<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salvaje is a collection of African safari & savannah colors and animal prints. Salvaje embodies the motto of being yourself. The word salvaje translates to wild – when you think of the wild you think of freedom, being fierce, being independent, strong, but most importantly being who ever you want to be. That is what’s seen on the runway, with some risqu\u00e9, modern fashion. This collection can be worn to a cocktail event, parties or red carpet events when wanting a more simplistic look.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cTriforium\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By: Jamie Lindsey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triforium investigates parallels in fashion and architecture. The selection of Gothic architecture allows for the conceptual and visual expression of my existing interests in balancing elegance with darkness. This period of time comes with an air of fantasy and boldness; this is represented with striking silhouettes and sculptural applications of steel rod. The title is representative of the forms I borrowed from architecture of the time, but it is also symbolic of the middle ground between light and dark.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cEver After\u201d 
\nby Nikka Solatorio<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection was inspired by fairy tales and folklore, each of the individual garments are deities and spirits from Filipino fables. It is meant to be whimsical and lively where the main focus are on the details of the garments; such as the embroidered floral appliques and hand-sewn beading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
