Synergy Star of the Month: Lauren Bolton

New York, NY - Synergy Dance Convention is proud to announce Lauren Bolton as May's Synergy Star of the Month.



Lauren attended Synergy's workshop in Scottsdale, AZ at the DC Ranch earlier this month. She displayed the passion and spirit that Synergy's faculty constantly tries to instill in their dancers, despite being new to formal dance training. She proved that it is not only about technique but about bringing individuality to performing - no matter the level.


Lauren is 8-years-old and is in 2nd grade at Copper Ridge Elementary. Originally born in San Francisco but has been living in Scottsdale for six years. The first time Lauren received formal dance training was with CaRu Entertainment, but she previously enjoyed performing in front of her fireplace at home.


She says that the best parts of dancing with CaRu were the instructors and learning the routines. Lauren also enjoys tennis and gymnastics, and goes to Xtreme Gymnastics in Scottsdale.

CaRu Entertainment Supports: Shut Up & Dance 2011

Philadelphia, PA - CaRu Entertainment encourages anyone who loves dance to attend the 19th annual performance of "Shut Up & Dance." The one-night-only event benefits MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) and is presented by The Pennsylvania Ballet. A night of original dances for a good cause that cannot be missed.

Emceed by XPN morning host Michaela Majoun, the performance will be held at the Forrest Theater this Saturday, May 21 at 8 p.m. Each ticket purchased will provide more than 20 meals to a MANNA client coping with a life-threatening illness such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes and renal disease.

Tickets are available at www.mannapa.org/dance for $50, $75 and $100. Exclusive parties will be held before and after the "Shut Up & Dance" performance and admittance into these parties can also be purchased on the site.

In 1993, dancers of the Pennsylvana Ballet were wondering what they could do to respond to the VIV/AIDS epidemic. They realized that the best thing they could do was "shut up and dance." The dancers choreograph and rehearse each piece in their spare time in what is a true labor of love for the community.

"For 19 years, The Dancers of the Pennsylvania Ballet have poured their heart and soul into this one-night-only performance," said Richard Keaveney, CEO of MANNA.

Choregraphers scheduled for this year's performance include Pennsylvania Ballet company members Justin Allen, Ian Hussy, Jermel Johnson, Meredith Rainy, Alex Racliffe-Lee, Haley Rowe, Jonathan Stiles, and Eric Trope.
