UMF dancers performance


On Thursday April 9, the UMF dancers performed at L'Ecole Française du Maine for the children. It was a wonderful performance that sent our imaginations soaring! The company performed numerous improvisatinal pieces on a wide variety of themes, including dancing with swimming noodles and scarves, a dance to a peom about chickens (not very serious!), and finally a dance, dedicated to Beth and Willy, to the spoken text of an Irish recipe for turnip soup...yes, this was an once in a lifetime experience! The children were attentive and fascinated, it was great fun for all. We were thrilled to welcome the UMF Dancers . Beth and Mikki Cote (former company members) had fun joining in...they can be seen in the colorful sacks pictured above... if you can find them! Thank you Margaret and the UMF Dancers!
