NEW After-School Dance Program!

Dance_artStudents, are you ready to hit the dance floor after the final school bell?!

Well, a new performing arts enrichment program has begun for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders on Wednesdays (started Feb 11). And 4th & 5th graders  have a class on Mondays (started Feb 23).

Spots are available in both classes–and if your student is starting late, the fee is pro-rated.

The dance program’s teacher is Danny G, a wonderful choreographer, well-known in the community for his work with Adelante, John Gill, Roosevelt, Hawes, along with other schools in the Bay Area. Danny has also choreographed many San Carlos Children’s Theater productions––and he has taught at SCCT camps.

Performance clips
Ready for some Kool & The Gang action?! Check out this fun YouTube video where Danny G’s John Gill students move and groove to “Celebration!”

For some 1950s moves, see more John Gill students dancing to Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes on this YouTube segment.

And lastly, a nod to Mary Poppins: See these super dancers perform the Penguin Dance  — and then they dance to “Party Rock” by LMFAO. This group of students won 1st Place in the downtown parade, too!

Enjoy!
