Spotlight on Grammar School Dance

For the first time ever, Regents is hosting fall extracurricular dance classes in the Grammar School! Students are learning The Waltz of the Flowers and the Snow Scene from the Nutcracker for a performance before Christmas. “One thing that has been special about this year,” says teacher Olivia Pincombe, “is how the group of students who danced last year feel like old pros, like real dancers, and a culture of dance is emerging.” Every time Miss Pincombe goes to the playground, eager students of all ages crowd around her to show her what they’ve been practicing! Another highlight has been experienced dancers from the Logic & Rhetoric schools have started to volunteer to help teach the younger students. “Our helper is called Miss Abby,” says second grader Emily J. “And I like it when she’s there because she helps my group keep practicing when Miss Pincombe is working with the older girls!”
