Yesterday (October 20) was a historical day when SFSD hosted its first-ever performance event for Middle School 7th and 8th-grade dance students! The inaugural event was held at George McGovern Middle School and involved dance teams from Ben Reifel, Edison, McGovern, Patrick Henry, and Whittier. In the fall months leading up to the event, dancers and their coaches worked hard on practicing skills such as split kicks, sharp movements, and contagions, along with incorporating dance moves from other cultures. Off the floor, the teams worked on relationship-building and developing leadership skills by working together. Each dance team performed one to two routines in a gym full of fans. Cheers and applause roared from the fans section as each team took the floor. Congratulations to students, coaches, fans, and everyone involved in making this a memorable evening!
