High School Dance Teacher Rachel Gaskill recently arranged for
her dance classes to participate in a distance learning videoconference
with the Clowes University Butler Ballet.
The
purpose of this conference was to discuss a career as a professional
dancer. “The video conference with the Butler Ballet provided
a wonderful opportunity for those dance students who are considering
continuing their dance training beyond high school,” explained
Gaskill. “The conference couldn’t have been timed better.
It occurred the week before the Advanced Dance Concert. Those students
who choreographed dances for the concert were able to discuss their
dances with these professionals and receive helpful feedback on
how to make the most out of their upcoming performance.”
Many
of the students who attended the conference found the information
useful. “The experience was great, and it gave me insight
about what to expect if I want to pursue dance after high school
because that is something I am looking into,” said Senior
Vannie Respes. “I am one of the students who choreographed
for our Advanced Dance Concert and the feedback was very helpful.”
