Cannot say it enough - I am so very proud of all the grade 7s and the risks they took over the past 4 weeks learning a contemporary dance routine and performing it in front of the peers. Many have stated they would like to perform this routine at the Surrey Dance Festival in April. Hillcrest has never had a grade 7 group participate at the festival. I am beaming as I look at this photo!
