The Middle School Dance Program, directed by Dr. Monica Elmore, held its annual performance to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Lunar New Year. Chamber singers opened up the concert by singing "Seasons of Love," dedicated to the legacy of Dr. King. The program included many outstanding performances at all grade levels that incorporated a variety of dance genres, including tap, modern, K-pop, lyrical, contemporary, hip-hop, and classical Indian dance.
A particular highlight of the evening was the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Chinese class performances choreographed under the direction of Fangzhou Zhang in honor of the Year of the Dragon. Students incorporated ribbons, dragon dance, lion masks, flowing fans, and the powerful sound of a live Chinese drumming performance into their celebration of Chinese culture. Congratulations to all on a beautiful and moving performance!
