Conservatory plans Winter Showcase Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at Valéncia

The Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts Dance Repertory Company II and Young Choreographers will present a Winter Showcase Friday, Nov. 30, at 6:30 p.m., and Saturday, Dec. 1, at 3 p.m. — both at the Valéncia Arts Center Academy Theatre.

The DRC II is MCA’s junior performing troupe and showcases students ages 5 to 12 years olds.

The 2007 Winter Showcase presents the DRC II students in classical ballet, tap, jazz, modern, creative movement, and a special just-for-boys piece. In addition to viewing the DRC II performers, audience members will enjoy works by the MCA’s Young Choreographers. These high school- and college-aged students participated in a choreography and improvisation class throughout the semester through which they learned how to create their own works.

Tickets cost $7 and are available at MCA’s Valéncia Arts Center, located on the corner
of 10th and Vila Streets. To reserve your tickets, call 453-5500. For more information about MCA performances, classes and

Saint Mary’s.
