On Tuesday, February 23, Honors Dance presented its concert titled “4,” a celebration of the four seasons. This year’s virtual concert marks the first collaboration between dance and film classes.
“The concert was completely student-driven,” says Debbie Henslee, dance educator and Loyola Academy Dance Company (LADC) moderator. Ms. Henslee explains that her dance students did everything from coming up with the concept, selecting music, choosing costumes and designing lighting.
“We have never recorded a performance like this during the school day,” she adds. “It was a great collaboration with the film class! Film students were divided into groups and each group filmed one dance from five different angels. The students then edited the different angles into one complete dance.”
