Recap of Grease!

I had to recap the RHS production of Grease!  It was so much fun and such a pleasure to work with these talented students.  The show was such a great success due to these amazing kids and the directors!

Remind 101 Codes

Hello!

Some students requested that I start using Remind 101 for class.  If we ever change location, I can send you a text (or email if you prefer) to let  you know where we will meet.  I could also send this out to remind you to bring objectives to the studio.  

I have created an account and code for each class.  If interested, please sign up for your class.

Lyrical Song

Hello!

The lyrical dance that we have been working on in class is called Kids covered by Lady Danville. Just search in google, and a YouTube link should pop up. Once I have a complete recording, I will post it here for you to practice!

Y'all are doing great!
