This was the first year for the annual West Johnston High Dance Exhibition. West Johnston High School D
ance Team hosted this event as a fundraiser for their dance team. They invited dance studios and other high school dance teams from all across th
e state to participate. They left it open to everyone (even up until the last minute) so that schools and studios could sign up and jump in to participate! They needed as many people as possible to participate to make this show a success. The kids did a great job of organizing and getting participants as they were on the phone even the week before the exhibition trying to get more studios to come out and dance! Their passion and needs to raise money for this event really shined through.
DanceArt Studio performed three clogging dances with kids of all ages. We jammed out to some awesome clogging choreography created by Mrs. Lauren and Mrs. Katie! The house was rocking as the kids stepped out of the box and did a hip hop clogging routine, others performed an all time favorite Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and a little old school 
to “I’m Bad”!!
We also had Mrs. Cheri’s lyrical choreography performed on stage for the first time! It was amazing as the students glided across stage and performed with more passion than ever before! The costumes were simple but the movement was inventive! There are many more lyrical dances to come for the rest of the season at DanceArt Studio! The kids cannot get enough of it!
Congrats to all the performers that were showcased at this event. It is always exciting to see the dances that choreographers create! This was a fun filled day of dance and performing with local dance studios and schools. Watching young people come together and have a passion for the same thing….dance…is always an inspiration!
