Members of the JV and varsity dance troupes had a very successful run at United Spirit Association’s summer dance training camp at University of California, Santa Cruz, this summer. The group earned the highest ranking, a superior, for its choreography and performance skills, and was awarded the Hardest Working Team plaque by camp instructors. Hazal Gurcan, grade 11, and Liana Wang, grade 10, were named All-Americans and were invited to perform in the London New Year’s Day Parade, and Ankita Sharma, grade 12, earned an invitation to perform at Disney World’s Spirit Spectacular in recognition of her leadership and teamwork skills.
