Kelly Carrington Staff Writer Girls from the Flin Flon Recreational Dance group wowed an audience of parents, grandparents, siblings and friends as they performed in their 2011 Recital. Taking to the stage at the R.H. Channing Auditorium over the weekend, the girls, ranging in age from four to 14, performed solos, duets and group dances. With the dancers having learned new skills throughout the year, the recital was the perfect way for everyone to see their improvements. Saturday afternoon's showcase featured the eight- to 10-year-olds first as they performed an upbeat dance to Disco Inferno. Hasana Church performed a solo to Martina McBride's Concrete Angel Ð showing off not only her dance skills, but some figure skating abilities as well. The youngest groups followed next as they performed to the Teddy Bear's Picnic. You've Got A Friend In Me was brought to the stage with the five-year-old groups, while Calli Benes's solo of Just The Way You Are was next. Samantha Yewchuk followed as she performed her solo to Club Can't Handle Me. The ever-popular Mambo # 5 was played as the six-year-olds were on the stage.

A solo by Abby Janz, to You Found Me, was followed by the older dancers as they performed to Raise Your Glass. An intermission followed with a quick turn around as Tieryn Steel took to the stage for a solo to It Ends Tonight. The recital's first duet came from Amy Prince and Kylee Anderson as the girls performed to Bounce Remix. The second, and final duet, was with Church and Yewchuk to the hit Telephone. The six-year-olds performed a second dance to The Climb before the seven-year-olds blasted Rockin Robin. The older students, ages 11 to 14, were on the stage to I Can Transform You. The eight-, nine- and 10-year-olds ended out the recital with Michael Jackson's Thriller.
