Preparing to dance

Students enrolled in modern dance rehearse for their upcoming performances on May 30, 31 and June 1. The performance will contain 16 dances that will feature ballroom dancing, salsa, bachata, modern dance, hip-hop and jazz. Each dance will be different and showcase the dancers’ talents. The class focuses on the technical moves that each dance requires. These moves are what make a dance beautiful and showcase the perfection that each dancer worked for. Aside from working on perfection, the class also focuses on self-expression through dance.
