| They're BACK!!!!!!! Hip Hop Choreographers Chonique Sneed and Lisette Bustamante Return to UCDC |
|
| |
|
|
| The Junior and Senior Jazz Companies were excited about the return of Chonique Sneed and Lisette Bustamante to the studio. The pair came this year (during warm weather with no threats of ice storms and power outages!) to choreograph hip hop routines for the Juniors and Seniors. The two groups worked hard all weekend September 21-23, 2007 to learn their new dances. We know the results of their hard work are going to pay off at competitions and we can't wait! A special "Thank You" to Chonique and Lisette for coming back to UCDC!!! |
