Hang Gliding Tahoe

hanggliding

Hang Gliding Tahoe shows you the views of South Lake Tahoe from up above, flying high in an Apollo Trike instructed by a FAA flight instructor.  Hang Gliding Tahoe is beautiful, adventurous and fun! Not only that, but it’s also great for the whole family and can be experienced year-round. The best part of hang gliding in Tahoe is the beautiful views from above. You won’t be able to see these things if you stay on the ground for your entire visit. The Apollo Trike, used for Lake Tahoe Hang Gliding, tests higher than most conventional airplanes for G-forces. The machines are maintained and inspected by FAA certified mechanics, and they take serious precautions when it comes to weather and safety for all! You even get the reassurance of a backup parachute. Unlike many things you can do while you’re here on vacation, Hang Gliding Lake Tahoe isn’t confined to the summer or the winter, but rather you can go any time of the year! The sights are just as beautiful in December as they are in July! Hang Gliding in Tahoe is the way to go. It’s a completely different experience than parasailing, sailing, plane riding, a balloon ride or a helicopter tour and none of these other options will get you the same thrill.

Twas the Night Before Christmas – Lake Tahoe’s Shining Stars Annual Holiday Performances

lodge kc twasthenight

Twas the Night Before Christmas”, a special holiday production by Lake Tahoe’s Shining Stars of the Marcia Sarosik Dance Studio, returns to Harrah’s Tahoe Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012. Based on the classic holiday poem, the Tahoe production debuted in 2006. There are two show times available to accommodate its growing popularity.

The dancers range in age from 2 1/2 to 18 performing in holiday favorites including “Jingle Bell Rock,” a jazzy rendition of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” a swinging “Jingle Bells” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” This year’s “Waltz of the Snowflakes” from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker with a corps de ballet of middle school aged dancers will feature Melissa Jo Marsh in a new piece of choreography. Marsh attended Joffrey West last summer, and has auditioned for and attended ballet intensives all over the United States for the past five summers.

A Rockettes-style kick line, contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop and tap dances to songs that follow the story are included in the show. Cast members from South Tahoe High School’s upcoming production of “White Christmas” will be joined by the STHS musical theater class for “Happy Holidays.”

Professional vocalists Bob Grant and Angela Aguirre add their special talent to the production. Some of the dancers making their stage debut at this event are part of the Shining Stars’ outreach program, which sponsors dance education for students who would otherwise not be able to participate in dance classes and performances.

The proceeds will benefit organizations that support needy children on the South Shore.  For additional details, visit marciasarosikdancers.com
