Rhonda Foote, Artistic Director of In The Company of Angels Fine Arts Studio and Outreach Company, was recently notified that she was the grand prize winner in a video contest for dancers on the internet.
Freetodance.net is a nationwide dance community on the world-wide web. The website sponsors an annual video contest for choreographers.
Ms. Foote entered the video of her modern dance piece “Tourniquet” for consideration. She was honored to be chosen as the winner and will receive $200.00 and $100.00 in dance merchandise from Free To Dance. She will also have the story of how “Tourniquet” was choreographed published on the website and her piece will be copyrighted so that other dancers may purchase the rights to perform the piece.
“Tourniquet” was videotaped in 2005. The modern dance piece features the talents of Stephanie Warnekros, Courtney Belloff, Katie Sloan and Kara Emily Nicol. All four dancers studied with Ms. Foote. Local videographer, Kris Marsala, shot the piece in a room in downtown Watertown’s historic Lincoln Building.
The modern dance piece tells the story of four troubled young women who find spirituality and comfort with each other and themselves via the dance. The video can be viewed by logging on to the site www.freetodance.net .
Ms. Foote is Artistic Director and Dance Director for In The Company of Angels with locations in Carthage and Gouverneur, N.Y. The Outreach company presents several productions yearly as benefits for local people in need.
