Les Saisons de la Vie (Seasons of Life) is the House of Dance's 6th Annual Recital. Like the Four Seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, man's life also goes through phases beginning with his own Spring of Youth  when he acquires knowledge, skills, and other tools he needs to prepare himself for the more serious phases of his life. At this stage, man is basically carefree and is learning to cope with the various emotions he comes face to face with. In Spring, man learns to dream, and boy! does he dream big.

Soon enough, the Summer  of his life approaches and he is thrown into a frenzy of meeting expectations. He must labor to support himself and perhaps in the process, he gets to meet that special someone with whom he wants to share his life with. Yes, summer is akin to perfecting the imperfections in man's life. He pursues his dreams and toils hard to become comfortable not just for himself but also for his family & loved ones.

Even though he may not want to let summer go, man eventually finds himself into the  Autumn of Fullness. This is a wonderful season for man because it is now time to reap what he sowed. Many find fulfillment in the autumn of their lives. Their cups "runneth over", as the saying goes. For others, there is much introspection and reminiscing about the spring and summer of their lives. Eventually, man decides there is still time to do whatever still needs doing, and to repair whatever needs mending.

In the Winter of man's life, man discovers there is truly very little time left given his borrowed time on earth. Those who have lived a full life cannot wait to join their maker. Those whose lives are filled with regret  can only hope that the afterlife will be much better. At this juncture, man surrenders his cares to the Creator.
