LOCAL TALENTS TAKE OVER THE BANDSHELL WITH 24/7 DANCE STUDIO
PART OF CELEBRATE FREDERICK’S SUMMERFEST FAMILY THEATRE

Dance, song and theatre will fill the Baker Park Bandshell as local talents from the Dance Fusion Student Repertory Company and The Musical Theatre Factory, both housed at 24/7 Dance Studio, come together to provide a high-energy, professional quality, dance revue. Celebrate Frederick Inc. will present this program as part of the 2007 Summerfest Family Theatre on Saturday, July 28th at 6 p.m. (note new time!).

Hand picked to train with professional instructors from across the country, these students are a testament to hard work, passion and the beauty of the arts. “Dedicated to serving the community by educating, performing and promoting the arts,” they are sure to wow your little ones with excerpts from the classic musical, West Side Story, as well as energetic numbers including swing, hip hop and jazz. Join in supporting these local talents as Dance Fusion Student Company and The Musical Theatre Factory take the stage!

LeTouché will provide a brief fencing demonstration prior to the featured performance on Saturday, July 28th at 6 p.m.
