In observance of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Ballet Hispánico, a premier Latino dance organization, delighted students, faculty and staff during the weekly Community Period. The dances performed were a blend of Spanish dance, classical ballet and contemporary movement with lots of fun opportunities for audience members to learn a few dance moves of their own.
Lower School Community Period is a weekly gathering when the students gather in the Meetinghouse to connect through stories, song, art and culture. By coming together as a division, young students develop a sense of responsibility and belonging, as well as an understanding that they are members of a larger whole that extends beyond their classroom. “Our Community Periods are opportunities to bring in vibrant, diverse and relevant voices that inspire our students and enrich their learning,” says Khairah Klein, Assistant Head of Lower School. “We’re always looking for ways to make these gatherings engaging, inclusive, and meaningful.”
