Ariel dance productions is a great place to dance and just enjoy dance, be a star, shine and just be with a wonderfully supportive group of dancers of all levels that drive twice a year to a dance show where they can share their love of dance with others

I have six Operettas now! They are all the Claudin sisters with their unique personalities.

 

Far left- Katherine: Probably the one I've photographed the most. She was Loki's moll for a long time until she married the Hot Toys Loki and had a daughter by him. She even briefly became a Lady Loki. She struggles with her borderline personality disorder and being a teen mother, the first of his sisters in fact to have a child. Introverted and sensitive she tries now to undo the damage she did to herself and everyone who loved her when she was a Lady Loki. (named after Katherine Hepburn)

 

2nd left-Lauren: A newer one, she owns the bar and grill and has her only employee, Draculaura working for her as part of paying off the blackmail Lauran has on her. Quiet and unassuming she knows how to wheedle secrets out of people and keeps a large collection of them. She is one of the few sisters still affectionate towards Katherine and acts sometimes as a mediator between her and Joan. (named after Lauren Bacall)

 

3rd left-Joan: A night club dancer who spent most of her money trying to help her sister Katherine in the early days before Katherine became Loki's moll and was involved with the gargoyle gangs of Paris. Joan is a bitter pessimist who hates Katherine, having given up on her having (as she perceives) wasted all her money and love in trying to save her that Joan ruined herself. Joan has a violent temper but a strong religious core and a deep love for the sisters she does see as redeemable. (named after Joan Crawford)

 

3rd right-Norma: The latest acquisition, Norma is the oldest and as she sees the most loyal to their father. This comes as odd considering the Phantom did the sloppiest job in burning the treble clef pattern in her face and burned out one of her eyes which is why her mask is more of an eyepatch (like the Herbert Lom Phantom). Imperious and narcissistic she considers herself the sisters' leader and model of decorum even if only Scarlett and Bette think so. (named after Norma Sheerer)

 

2nd right-Scarlett: The only Claudin sister with a southern accent, a flighty shallow diva who only follows along with what her sisters are doing to be popular. Though not as bossy as Norma, she is spoiled to the core. She even has eyes for Katherine's husband whom she considers too handsome to be kept all to Katherine. Scarlett is wickedly jealous of Katherine because of this though she isn't as violently antagonistic as Joan. She typically does everything Norma tells her to do. (named after Scarlett O'Hara, played by Vivian Leigh in 'Gone with the Wind')

 

Far right-Elizabeth 'Bette': Bette is unique because she isn't as selfish as her other sisters. The youngest of all of them she is the sister all the others try to protect. She is very sheltered, shy, sensitive and with a strong sense of propriety. She dislikes change and holds to the traditions set by her father. She is the only one who still loves Katherine after she became the queen of the Loki lair. (named after Bette Davis)

I bought a Bratz doll cheap for this dress & I thought it would be perfect for Howleen. I was also able to get her into a pair of Fashion Royalty shoes, I don't know how, but they fit her so I won't think about it too hard. :-) Howleen & Twyla are hard to find shoes for.

Ariel studio's mission is to provide a positive, dynamic, family-oriented environment in which our students can foster a lifelong love of dance. We offer a wide range of classes and performance opportunities for teens and adults, all of which are led by our supportive and professionally trained staff. Our dance programs are performance-based rather than competition-based. We strive to provide a creative and fun-filled environment for dancers as we prepare for many formal and informal performance opportunities throughout the year.

    

Whether a student is looking for dance training, get into shape, or perform on stage, Ariel studio is the perfect place to develop technique, get fit, and improve your performance skills.

I recently re-rooted a Dance Class Howleen with thermal hair! It changes from a Lavender to a Pink (tried my best to capture it in the photo). This one is already spoken for, but I have lots of left over thermal, so I'll be working on another Howleen soon!

Even Toralei knows how important trees are.
