swatch

morgana's dance class has been working on a group piece called swatch. they have all taken turns choreographing it.

this excerpt is called synthetic blend, choreographed by molly. morgana is in the first line on the left when the movie begins. ellen keeps shouting at them to look like they're having fun and smile.

corduory, by amelia.

velvet! by morgana!

the music is by nino rota.

she had such a time collecting velvet skirts for everyone to wear!!! i can't believe it all came together . . finally!!! i found two of the skirts in a thrift store. the blue velvet one was donated by ellen's assistant, krista. the orange/brown one is chanda's lucy/narnia skirt, and the full black dress is molly's mom's.


 this piece is denim . . choreographed by molly and cleo.

morgana . . 

  . . waiting to begin teching . . she kept saying . . "this is the penguin dance, from mary poppins."

it's such a great piece! i love the music. most of the girls have been together for years . . since they were 8.
