Dancing in the moment by Kelly Munns, PR Manager and Sarah Wilson, A&E Editor Mastered moves, melodic music, and poised performers took the stage for approximately 90 minutes during the PRHS dance show and brought the audience “Into the Wild.” The show took place on Friday, March 4, and Saturday, March 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Templeton Performing Arts Center. Ninety-seven dancers took the stage throughout the course of the show: 37 advanced dancers, 45 intermediate dancers, and 15 guest dancers and performers. Some featured dance groups were Jazz’n’Company and Jazz’n’Company Apprentices, Class Act Chamber Ballet, CAD Crew, and God Squad. Ranging from slow and classical to upbeat and exotic, dancers performed to 18 different dances. Some performances were upbeat and lively while others were emotional and sincere. Though songs such as “Can’t Be Tamed,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Waka Waka,” and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” all fit the “wild” theme of the show, a variety of music was used, such as hip-hop, 50’s, classical, and modern. “I try to not overuse one style of music so people stay interested in the dances. We even had [senior] Brandon Ellsworth play the piano while the dancers performed and had the Love Notes perform a song,” dance teacher Jennifer Bedrosian said, who has taught dance at PRHS for the past three years. The Love Notes quartet consisted of juniors Trinity Smith, Emily Cone, Lindsay Reed, and Katie Wingfield who sang “Let it Be” by The Beatles. Continued on A&E page 25
