Several Harker performing arts groups hit the stage at Santana Row on Nov. 17 to celebrate the start of the holiday season. The upper school’s varsity and junior varsity dance troupes, Dance Fusion and High Voltage gave exhilarating performances at the packed event, singing and dancing to time-honored holiday standards, at times updated for present-day audiences. Highlights included Kinetic Krew (the upper school’s first all-male dance troupe) performing to a dubstep version of “Jingle Bells” and Downbeat’s jazzed-up rendition of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.”
