The Immortal Dracula Ball


Creative, artistic, passionate people congregate at Svetlana's Dance Academy!  Dillon, a SDA student for 2 years, tops the list. Dillon is  a junior at Cal Poly, Pomona where he takes his studies seriously. He is a Hotel Hospitality Major with an emphasis on Event Planning. This boy can plan events!

To meet the requirement of 800 hours of work experience, Dillon put on the FIRST ANNUAL Immortal Dracula Ball at the studio last month. Svetlana was easy to convince of the merits of the Ball--she loves the classic Dracula Ballet.

Dillon employed his many talents and skills to transform the dance studio into a Gothic ballroom. 65 party-ers showed up for the ball. Dancing, a DJ and original performances combined to make the night a success. Four original dances entertained the guests.  A trio of Vampires brides, a demon-possessed solo and two duets highlighted the Halloween theme.

Dillon did a fabulous job decorating the studio...check out the photos below for proof. Checkers are his hallmark and they transformed the wall into a geometric spider's nest. The costume contest added a bit of friendly competition to the night.

Honors went to the following:

Best Costume: Sarah the Dragon
Second Place was shared by: Leanna the Lion & Alexa the Ring Master
Third Place was snagged by : Pierce the Fairy





Dillon's Trademark Checkers





Even Santa made an appearance!


Dillon hopes to continue planning Big Events. If the 1st Annual  Immortal Dracula Ball is any indication, Dillon has a prosperous future ahead. Look ahead to the 2nd Annual Ball next Halloween. Keep your eyes fixed on the Nutcracker stage where Dillon will dance the part of the Nutcracker Prince.

Thanks for all your hard work and diligence, Dillon.
