The Creative Arts Guild presents “Masquerade”

The Creative Arts Guild and Ballet Dalton will present their spring concert “Masquerade” in the Dalton High School Theater on Friday at 7 p.m., which will include Ballet Dalton, the Guild Dance Ensemble and Intermediate 4’s.

The school recital on Saturday, May 10, at 2 p.m. will include the entire dance school.

The dance faculty — Jessie Bonanno, Elizabeth Fisher and Kara Marcum — will present their choreography during both shows. Dance director Jessie Bonanno states, “The theme of ‘Masquerade’ this year gives a very mysterious and magical air to the performance. The beautiful costuming, accomplished, unique choreography and wonderful dancing come together to create an exciting show.

“We are very pleased to present our dancers who have worked so hard, and also such a varied performance that will peak anyone’s interest, from the person who knows little about dance to the most proficient dance enthusiast. From classical ballet to heart pumping hip hop and modern to pointe, this show brings it all.”

Additional choreographers participating in this production are Michael Hollier from Louisiana and Lonnie Davis from Atlanta.
