THE CHALLENGE IS ON FOR 2012
Woodside High School's Dance Team, under the
imaginative direction of Kim Harvath, reclaimed their first place High School
Dance Off title at Carrington Hall in Redwood City on Dec. 3 2011. Their
rendition of Hair Spray brought the audience to their feel and filled the judges
score sheets with comments like “outstanding, professional, great connection
with the audience”.
Tyler MacNiven with his unique humor, timing and good nature once again made him the perfect host of the Dance Off. His on-stage dance lesson with one of the Judges of this year’s HSDO, Gail Stevens (dance instructor at Cheryl Burke Dance studio) motivated his fans to start their own campaign to see Tyler compete on TV’s Dancing with the Stars!
First time contenders, the Advanced Dance Performance and Dance Production students at CSUS (Crystal Springs Upland School) received comments like clear, concise incredibly inspirational from the judges. CSUS’s the Crystal Springs Dancers under the ingenious direction of Maggie Fongheiser took home 2nd place with a unique modern dance! They competed not only against dancers from other Bay Area high schools, but some fabulous dogs put on a show as well.
