Energy In Motion
Cecelia Palladino-Jaramillo created Energy In Motion in 1992 to give
her young dancers performing experience. Their first winter performance,
"A Joyful Noise" was held at UNM Continuing Education, where they
continued to present productions through 1995. From that time on,
Energy In Motion has performed nine Winter shows as well as four Spring
Flings at the South Broadway Cultural Center. The dancers have also done
numerous lecture demonstrations at elementary and middle schools in
Albuquerque and Bernilillo, and at UNM.
The Company consists of dancers ranging in age from 9 - 25+. All proceeds
from Energy In Motion performances go into a scholarship fund, which enables
members to attend summer workshops, and also to bring in guest instructors.
In the past, dancers have used their scholarships to attend classes in
Walnut Hill, Boston Ballet, The Edge in Los Angeles, and for professional
auditions in Los Angeles and Chicago.
EIM dancers have a true love for dance, and this comes through in their
performances. Cecelia likes to inject a sense of humor into all of their
productions, and appeal to audience members who wouldn't normally attend
a
dance performance. With this in mind, Cecelia incorporates the various
dance
styles of ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop to create a storyline. Our most
recent
performance, "Bedtime Stories" , is a good example of this. Set in the
1940's, a family discovers that books can transport them to faraway times
and places, plus they learn the importance of being together.
