More than 1,000 students will be participating in the dance concert; most have never had a dance class before entering their high school dance course.</span></p><p>The Dance I-IV curriculum has covered a wide variety of dance styles. Through this public school course, students have the opportunity to learn about dance technique, terminology and history. The spring semester focuses on the art of production and performance as students rehearse for the show. </p><p>"This performance opportunity is something our dance students look forward to," said Morton Ranch High School Dance Instructor April Hunt. "They look forward to the music selection and learning the choreography. The Crossroads experience helps students gain a sense of confidence that they will hopefully take with them for years to come." </p><p>The dance concert will give some insight into the incredible curriculum that is covered in Katy ISD dance classes, and audiences can expect to see everything from traditional jazz to modern dance. Diverse students with various levels of dance experience collaborate to show the community that the art of dance is not only entertaining, but rewarding to all involved. The concert is free to all audience members. </p><p>For more information, contact April Hunt at (281) 237-7988 or Alison Lowrey at (281) 237-1741.</p></div>
