“One Hit Wonders!,” this year’s lower school dance production, which took place at the Bucknall Theater at the end of the school year, featured 240 dancers from grades 1-5 moving to the rhythm of some of the most famous one-time chart-toppers of decades past.
Students performed numbers to songs such as the “The Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats, “Come On Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners, “Yummy Yummy Yummy” by Ohio Express, The Cascades’ “Rhythm of the Rain” and Eiffel 65’s “Blue (Da Ba Dee).” In all, 28 routines were performed at each show.
