Dance assembly gets students moving
Students loved the enrichment assembly this morning, hosted by Urbanity Dance from Boston’s South End. Urbanity dancers demonstrated different styles of dance—hip hop, salsa, contemporary—and invited student volunteers to participate on stage. The assembly ended with an all-school “dance” in the bleachers to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop This Feeling!” Log in to My Tenacre see the all-school video under News/Featured Content! -
