Mr. Norman's Retirement Tribute Performance, Saturday, October 18, 2015 at the UAF Salisbury Theater, was a huge success and so much fun! What's more, Miss Sue, Mr. Weaver, the NSB staff/dancers/families, and all involved, managed to keep it absolutely secret. Very impressive all around that so many hours of planning, rehearsing, alumni arriving, and secret advertising went undetected by the guest of honor! (Never has there been such agonizing over which barre and how much floor tape could be removed from the studio without notice!)
A very special thank you is extended to all the NSB alumni dancers who participated from near and far!!
