Miss Mary and some of the Dancers backstage The Garden City Recreation Dance Conservatory held its Annual Showcase on Friday, June 5th at Adelphi University's beautiful Olmstead Theater. It was a memorable evening as the dancers performed to a sold out audience of over 300. The company members ranged from 8 years old to adult and showed off their talents in various dance forms, including ballet, tap, hip-hop, jazz and modern dance. The dances included choreographed works by Felicia Lovaglio, Mary Searson, Amanda Fiorentine, Gina Nicole Caputo, Emily Grant and Emily Garra.

This wonderful dance program would not be possible without the support of Kevin Ocker and the Garden City Recreation Department. The dance program is under of the direction of Felicia Lovaglio who is also Adjunct Professor of dance and theater at Adelphi University. The Garden City Recreation Conservatory is a non-recital based program with company rehearsals scheduled after dance class ends. Everyone who would like to be in the showcase may perform any dance they choose. These dancers work very hard and enjoy their fellow dancers while having fun. Congratulations to all of the girls for another performance for Showcase 2009!
