Created in the fall of 1999 by Mary Reardon and Vivian Little as a means for aspiring young dancers to come together as a performing group, this company has provided the students with opportunities to experience master teachers and choreographers from around the country. They have studied with Carla Maxwell, Artistic Director of the Limón Dance Company and with various Limón company members including Brenna Monroe-Cook and Jonathan Riedel, Kitty Daniels, Chair of the Dance Department at Cornish College of the Arts, Keith Sabado, formerly of Mark Morris Dance Company and David Leventhal currently of the Mark Morris Dance Company.
In addition to their appearance in The Steadfast Tin Soldier, A Story Ballet, the company will present two weekends of their spring dance concert at the Dance Fremont Studio Theater on March 23 & 24 and 30 & 31. This year, Mary Reardon, Brenna Monroe-Cook and Markeith Wiley are setting premiere works on the entire company. Mary Kay Bisignano-Vadino will set a piece featuring our graduate, Amina Kapusuzoglu. We bring back the ballet that was performed in the 2006 spring concert, titled Bugged, choreographed by Vivian Little. For more details about their March concert, please call Dance Fremont! at 206.633.0812 ext. 3.
The audition for Fremont Danceworks is held in the spring each year and the selected dancers sign contracts for the summer dance intensive and the following school year. This year’s company members are Clare Bawden, Emma Buckland Young,
Mariah Eastman, Natalie Fernandi, Amina Kapusuzoglu, Keiko Leong, Una Ludviksen, Rachel Patten and Phoebe Smith. The Fremont Danceworks apprentices are Xiao Yu Clements, Emma Franklin, Tess Havas and Madeline White. In June 2012, we bid adieu to Amina Kapusuzoglu as she graduates from Holy Names Academy and Dance Fremont! Amina is hoping to attend Seattle University in the fall to study engineering and education. We have been blessed to have Amina as our long time student and are very proud of her role as a positive leader in our community. We are excited for her future and look forward to hearing about the new chapters in her life!
