Video Dance (Saturday)
The Smith Center will come alive this Saturday as students gather to the school’s first dance of the year.

Wessels first became involved with singing when she auditioned for a part in her middle school production of “Annie.” Prior to the audition, she hadn’t sung much but thought it would be fun to audition. However, her...

Though hip-hop and modern dance are differnet dance genres, Hypnotiq and Blue Strut’s dance show last Friday in the Wrestling Room, which featured dancers from the Youth Development Organization (YDO), brought these two styles together.

“[The Youth Development Organization] is for all...
