Christmas is at its heart a

celebration, and nothing says celebration more than singing and dancing.

As the holiday approaches, people can experience the joy of the season

Classical Dance Theatre and

the Southeastern Ballet Company will team up for thir annual holiday concert

this Saturday and Sunday at Creekside High School in Fairburn. The show

features popular pieces from "The Nutcracker" along with original

choreography from Classical Dance theatre studio founder Yasmine Hassaan.

There will also be a modern number choreographed by Candice Giyan. Performers

in the concert will include members of the Classical Dance theatre program

and the Southeastern Ballet Company, as well as guest artists from Atlanta

Ballet and modern dance companies.

Showtimes are at 2:30 and 7:30

p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $10 and a 10 percent

discount is available for groups of 10 or more. Creekside High School

is located at 7405 Herndon Road in Fairburn. Phone 770-460-8138 or visit

Sunday will be a day for singing.

Approximately 20 church choirs will gather at the water fountain by the

Gazebo in Downtown Fayetteville this Sunday for Christmas caroling and

hymns of praise. The community is invited to share in the fellowship and

joy of these performances as local choirs sing praises to and celebrate

the birth of our Savior and King, Jesus Christ. Each choir will peform

two or three of their favorite Christmas carols or hymns over a block

of 10 minutes that they will be alloted. Choirs are still being assembled

and if your church would like to participate, please contact Lou Ann Ballington

at 770-719-3935 or email her at [email protected].

A few things to remember, choirs

with greater than 50 members will be difficult to accomodate. Choirs should

be accompanied by pre-recorded music only, no live music.
