Did you know that here at SJHS we have a class just for dancing? Ms. Jarvis teaches it. The dance class had a performance on December 5th. They have been working on these dances for most of the semester!
According to Ms. Jarvis, the dance teacher, they had two dance routines that they performed together, a hip-hop routine and jazz routine. Mikiya Olsen, an eighth grader, said that they also got to do their own dance numbers in groups of three or four that they were able to choreograph themselves. Mikiya’s dance was to "Die Young" by Kesha. Some of the other groups performed to "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons and "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.
The dance performance was a positive experience for all involved. Ms. Jarvis said the best part of the performance was, “watching all the students perform, get excited about performing in front of an audience, and watching them do their best. [They] try so hard all semester and all of the routines looked so good!”
