The MHS Dance Company is another thing that represents what is special about Montclair.
Come to this performance and you will see why. You will see a group of young people who perform with great confidence, beauty, and skill. You will see a diverse group of students who might not have had the opportunity to form friendships in other programs in the school, because they are often pretty homogeneous. You will see a community of young students who work together rehearsing for many months with professional choreographers, and who are ready to wow you with a wonderful performance.
Congratulations to the students, the choreographers, and to Denise Brown, the Company’s Artistic Director on another great show.
Don’t miss it! Support the arts in our schools!
