Jingle Bells

(Refrain) Jingle bells, jingle bells,Jingle all the way!Oh what fun it is to ride,In a one-horse open sleigh. (Repeat)

Dashing through the snow,On a one-horse open sleigh,Over the fields we go,Laughing all the way!Bells on bob-tail ring,Making spirits bright,What fun it is to ride and sing,A sleighing song tonight! Oh... (Refrain)

Joy to the World

Joy to the world! The Lord is come!Let earth receive her King;Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,And heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n and nature sing,And heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The herald angels singGlory to the newborn King;Peace on earth and mercy mild,God and sinners reconciled;Joyful all ye nations rise,Join the triumph of the skies,With th’angelic host proclaim,Christ is born in Bethlehem!Hark! The herald angels singGlory to the newborn King.

O Come, All Ye Faithful

O come, all ye faithful,Joyful and triumphant,O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;Come and behold HimBorn the King of angels:O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!

Tha Spot Holiday Dancers

Toronto choreographer Chantelle Fernandes, assisted

by Tiffany Leonardo, is thrilled to put her talent to work

again for today’s performance. She brings a long list of

credits in film (Hairspray, Honey), television (The Listener,

Pop It!), music videos (Cascada, Danny Fernandes), and

commercials (Mattel, Zantac), including choreographing

performances for the 2011 New Year’s Eve bash at Nathan

Phillips Square, as well as various live events with her

husband, pop artist Shawn Desman. She has assembled

some of Toronto’s brightest young rising stars for another

performance with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO). All of these young dancers are

excited to have another opportunity to perform at Roy Thomson Hall with the TSO to add to

their quickly growing performance resumes, some of which include Shawn Desman’s music

video “Nobody does it like”. Having received their dance training from Tha Spot Dance Centre

in Toronto, they hope that you will be seeing them on many more stages for years to come.
