Celebrating Water Through Dance

Third and 4th grade students closed out an uplifting Lower School concert season with “WATER,” a dance concert centered around the theme of water. A total of 138 students shined in their own choreography for 13 dances, and were directed by Sasha Deveaux, Lower School dance teacher, in two grade-level finales. Third grade students performed an Afrobeat dance with vibrant costumes, as well as “Water” from “The Lion King,” while 4th grade students performed a contemporary dance personifying the relationship of a moon rising over water. A live, lyrical dance and choral rendition of “Down to the River to Pray,” conducted by Katie Brister, Lower School music teacher, opened the show.
