They had two fantastic performances. On Thursday, the dancers had a three-hour Disney Dancin' Workshop with Disney dance instructors. In addition to dancing, they experienced two live performances: Cirque Du Soleil's 'La Nouba' and a Poynesian Luau Show. Remembering Bob Gross Show The Dance Department participated in a celebration of the life of Bob Gross.The performances presented on December 17 in Hammond's auditorium were filled with the things Mr. Grossloved: singing, dancing, laughing and cherished memories. Mr. Gross, a Hammond special education teacher, was an ardent supporter of the dance and drama departments and spent many hours contributing to the success of their productions and the lives of their performers, crew, and directors. This summer he fell victim to the brain cancer that was a part of his life for over five years. Performances included A Brighter Day by the Junior Dance Company, Mamela by the Dance Company, and theatre students singing Circle of Life, For Good, and Seasons of Love, which included a lyrical dance by two of Hammonds Dance Company alumni. Over $6,000 was raised for the Robert H. Gross Memorial Scholarship Fund, which will be given to students in Dance, Theatre, and Special Education who demonstrate compassion, creativity, and commitment in their time at Hammond High School. The months of January and February were chock full of performance dates for the Department: Junior Dance Company and Dance Company performed at the Howard County Dance Festival on Saturday, January 30 at 7 pm at Long Reach High School. The Hammond Dance Department presented its Winter Concerts on Thursday, February 4 and Thursday, February 18 at 7 pm in Hammond's auditorium. The show included performances by the classes and Companies. |
