Â鶹´«Ã½ Lower School Takes the Stage with Our Third Annual Spring Performance: Rhythm Rocks!Â
Our Lower School students’ year-long exploration of Dance culminated in the third annual Lower School Spring Performances at the 5 Angels Theater! A celebration of rhythm, it was a fantastic day, complete with an iconic soundtrack that had our LS dancers ready to rock — and everyone in the audience was movin’ and groovin’ in their seats!
Titled “Rhythm Rocks”, our LS dancers celebrated the beats and rhythms found in our bodies, throughout our city, and everywhere. Our youngest dancers in Kindergarten celebrated rhythm in our city with their own original song they composed with LS Music teacher Mr. Tim. Meanwhile, some of our dancers were inspired by the “4 on the Floor” and what was all the rage in NYC in the 70s — disco! First Grade had everyone clapping along during their performance to the Bee Gees anthem “Stayin’ Alive”, and some of our Third Grade dancers boogied to “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps!
Both Second and Third Grade responded to the “Call of the Clave,” performing the salsa to “Salsaton” by El Rubio Loco! Our third graders also sung “Yes We Can Can”, a new arrangement of Allen Touissant’s hit by Mr. Alonzo! And our oldest dancers in Fourth Grade brought down the house with their moves to a Sungha Jung arrangement of Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” and groovy remix mash-up of classical favorites!
Thank you to Ms. Gabrielli, Ms. Gordon, Ms. Pruden, Mr. Tim, all of our LS homeroom and CATS teachers, and everyone (and there are MANY) who made this magical event possible! We also send big thanks to all of our families for your wonderful support of our Lower School dancers and this performance!
And of course, we all give the largest and longest standing ovation to Ms. Kelly!
