Local music and dance collaboration at Gesa, December 17

WALLA WALLA-Gesa Power House Theatre will host A Holiday Arts Collaboration on Friday, December 17 at 7:00 p.m.

This free hour-long event will feature youth performances created by Y-Tunes (formerly Walla Walla Music Organization) and WW Dance Co2 (under the umbrella of Walla Walla Dance Company) in live musical performances and choreographed instrumental music created by Y-Tunes students. Art pieces by local artists, provided by ArtWalla, will be displayed during the dance numbers.

The Y-Tunes Music and Sound Studio became an official program of the Walla Walla YMCA this fall and is now part of the Youth Engagement Department, under the direction of Walla Walla Music Organization founder Rodney Outlaw.

Walla Walla Dance Company, founded and directed by Nancy Wells, has offered dance in the community for the past 30 years. WW Dance Co2 was recently developed by Justine and Jennifer Clark to allow specialized training and growth in contemporary dance within the program.

Tickets are not required for entry. Donations to any of the participating organizations will be accepted at the door and may also be made online at any time through the Valley Giving Guide at http://www.valleygivingguide.org (with possible donation matching opportunities).
