VAPA dancers

For the past few years, Ms. Tretheway has been teaching dance at our school through the VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts) program. This year both kids took the dance classes through the fall semester and had their final performances in December. The theme this year was 20th century dances, with each class dancing to a song from a different decade.

The third grade class danced to Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" from the 1950's. Alexander is in the back left corner with a silver bow tie.

The 4th and 5th grade GATE class danced to Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" from the 1980's. Charlotte is on the right side in a pink baseball cap.

Charlotte enjoyed this program so much that she'll be taking an afterschool dance class with Ms. Tretheway for the next two months.
