Three hundred local dancers will bring their energy and talents to the stage preparing to "Dance 'Til You Drop."

This theme of the 9th annual spring production by Lake Country School of Dance speaks volumes about the energy and vitality of these young dancers. Many of them are fresh off the competition circuit, where they won numerous medals at the Shine Festival and the Great Canadian Dance Challenge.

"Every year, our dancers hit new heights," says Shani Wendell, owner of the studio and producer of "Dance 'Til You Drop.  "Competition adjudicators this year regularly noted that our students bring great enjoyment to the stage, along with talents and noticeable physical strength. We're really proud of them all, and happy that the community can come to watch them in action."
