Directors Kim Hoj and Pamela Lappen are joined by the Nordhoff Dancers and Peggy Lacerra of Ojai Community Dancers in preparing to Celebrate Dance in Ojai on March 15.

Choreographers and dancers from in and around the Ojai Valley will come together to perform in the 3rd annual dance festival "Celebrate Dance in Ojai." Saturday, March 15th, 2008 at 7 PM at Matilija Auditorium. Each year the dance festival has had a community service component and this year co-directors Kim Hoj and Pamela Lappen are proud to announce all funds raised from this concert will be awarded in the form of scholarships for Ojai dancers who will be pursuing dance at the university/college level.



Gracing the stage and supportive of the Ojai dance scholarship fundraiser are veteran local choreographers and dancers. Nordhoff High School Dancers, Jeannie Carlson Dancers, Ojai Community Dancers, Stephen Bauer, Ojai Tappers, Nordhoff High School Alumni and more. This year's "out of town" guest artists include All American Ballet, Ventura College Dancers, and Santa Barbara City College Dancers. Over 100 performers will dance on our local stage.



The evening is guaranteed to offer dance for everyone! From Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Tap, Tango, Mexican Folkloric, and Aerial Dance (yes, we have someone flying in this concert!) this will be a fun and festive evening of dance to serve the Ojai community.



Celebrate Dance in Ojai Dance Concert and Scholarship Fundraiser is presented by Nordhoff High School Dance Department and backed by numerous volunteers in support of young dancers from Ojai in pursuing their dream.



Presale tickets are available for purchase at Vesta, 242 East Ojai Avenue; tickets will be available at the box office at 6:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for children grades K-12. For more information or to make a donation to the Celebrate Dance in Ojai Scholarship Fund, please call (805) 640-4343 x 1756.
