Her elementary class is now learning multi cultural dances from Serbia, Hawaii, and Canada to perform at the arts festival in the spring. Each class learns two different dances from different countries.
Middle school dancers are learning choreography for the dance concert.
She would like her students to practice their choreography at home so it will be well rehearsed for the audience members at the concert. Good luck at the concert, dancers!
