Washington Tour

     Last week Idaho Dance Theatre had the pleasure of going on tour to Kennewick, Washington! It was quite the experience with coming right out of our Fall show in Boise. We had a great run in Boise so it was easy to ride our performance momentum all the way to Kennewick. We had one day of rest and then back in the studio to make sure all of our dances were in tiptop shape.

     The next day was a whirlwind of activity. We left Boise early in the morning with a brief stop for lunch in Pendleton, OR. A few hours later we arrived in Kennewick, went to our lovely hotel right on the river, and then headed to the theatre. We all worked very hard to make sure that the floor, lights, curtain, costumes, music and choreography was set for the big show.

     The show began at 7:30pm and we were ready! We had a great show with a fantastic audience. The 1,200 seat theatre was nearly full and created such a wonderful energy for us to utilize on stage. After the show we had the chance to mingle with audience members and hear responses to our work. Lastly the board members of the Tri-Cities Community Concerts hosted a dinner for us. We couldn’t have found a more delicious dinner or lovely group of hosts. Great conversation, food, and wine was the perfect end to our busy day! Thank you again to the Tri-Cities Community Concerts board. We would love to come back and perform again!

Meet Eric!

     Hi my name is Eric Glenn and I am a new member of Idaho Dance Theatre. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I attended the University of Oklahoma and graduated in May 2010 with my Bachelor of Fine Arts.
    
     I am excited to have the chance and opportunity to perform with IDT. I think this experience with help me further my career as a professional dancer. I am a classically trained dancer that has been slowly moving towards modern movement and is why I’m thrilled to dance with IDT. This will help me become a universal dancer and prepare me for any challenge to come.
    
     I cannot wait to share the stage with IDT and perform for the Boise audience.
