Rhonda Foote named to October faculty of National Assoc. of Dance and Affiliated Artists Workshop


Local Dance Director Named to Faculty of National Association


Rhonda Foote, Artistic and Dance Director of “In The Company of Angels” has been asked to join the Regional Faculty in Syracuse NY for the National Association of Dance and Affiliated Artists (NADAA) convention on October 21, in Syracuse, NY.

Ms. Foote will instruct both students and teachers in Jazz and Tap Dance at the convention. NADAA is a national organization offering dance and arts education throughout the country. Ms. Foote is thrilled to be selected for their prestigious faculty.

”I’m honored that I was chosen to join the NADAA faculty,” said Ms. Foote.

Co-Director, Carrie Edick and several students from “In The Company of Angels” will travel to Syracuse for the day of dance education featuring Ms. Foote and an instructor from the Binghamton, NY area.

“In The Company of Angels” is a Fine Arts studio and Outreach Performance Company located in Carthage. Classes are also offered through the studio at Liberty Gymnastics and Dance Center in Gouvernour, NY. The company will present “It’s WitchCraft” at Lowville Academy on Saturday, November 3rd at 7:30 p.m. All proceeds from the show will benefit a Lowville family faced with extreme medical-related costs due to their child’s two-year hospitalization.

To contact “In The Company of Angels” call 315-921-6303 or email

angels@inthecoofangels.com .

About "It's WitchCraft"




On Saturday, November 3rd, we will present "IT'S WITCHCRAFT" to benefit Jeffrey, a ten year old boy from Lowville, NY.
The show will feature tap, jazz, hiphop, modern, lyrical, clog and character dance. Gymnasts will tumble and there will be pianists, violinists and vocalists as well.
We will feature two outstanding artists in the lobby and will have a coffee cart for your enjoyment prior to the show.
We are anticipating a special presentation before the 7:30 curtain TBA later this week!
All proceeds at the door and during the "Trick or Treat for Jeffrey" finale will be given to the family. Ten percent of any artwork sold will be donated to his family and ten percent of the coffee cart proceeds will be given to the performers towards future activities.

I (Rhonda) spoke at length with Jeffrey's StepMom, Lynnette Franks, this weekend. Jeffrey suffers from an extremely rare immune deficiancy disorder. He has been hospitalized for two years with only ONE four-hour visit home. Jeffrey has had two bone marrow transplants and still is at severe risk for infection. He is now in Rochester, but was eight hours away from home for the majority of his hospitalization.
Lynnette kept praising our community and the people who have been so helpful and supportive to Jeffrey's family; the school, their neighbors, etc. I was overwhelmed with her strength and hope that I have an opportunity to continue getting to know this woman!

This is what I ask;
over the long weekend, what did YOU do with your child?
Go for a walk, visit a pumpkin farm? Decorate for the holiday? Play in the leaves? Read a story, watch a movie?
Now, think about what Jeffrey did this holiday.

Please mark Saturday, November 3rd on YOUR calendar. We want to fill the house for this incredible boy and his family...and want to see YOU there. We promise you will be entertained and inspired by this evening of "WitchCraft"!
