hroughout the spring season, San Ramon Valley High School offers numerous shows and performances that bring our community together. During the first week of May, SRVHS hosts the annual Spring Dance Show to begin the countdown to summer vacation. Every year, the show is centered around a specific theme, and this year’s was one of the best yet! By incorporating music from various films, the theme “Cruisin’ to the Movies” was brought to life by the dancers. On May 1st, all who entered the SRVHS Performing Arts Center experienced a show choreographed and presented by dance students of all levels, and it was truly a night to remember. The show began with the showing of a film clip, followed by an intricate dance performed by Dance 5. Immediately the energy of the room lightened up once the dancers began to perform.

honors seniors since their dance season at SRV has come to an end. In order to make the night memorable for seniors, as well as their parents, the show celebrated the dancers’ dedication to the program throughout each performance. Not only did the seniors choreograph group dances, but they also performed solos that showcased their skills and talent. Dance 4 students choreographed tap, jazz, and hip hop combinations. Every moment of their unique, entertaining dances was thrilling. At San Ramon Valley High School, students express their love and passion for the arts program by working diligently on their shows and projects. For the duration of the show, the months of preparation and dedication remained evident as the dancers brought each film shown to life.

While performing, the dancers presented the pink, turquoise, purple, and yellow colors of the dresses. Combined with the hollering and funky facial expressions, it was quite silly and a perfect finale to the show. With one surprise left, the show continued on past the finale number.
