On Friday, the Grier community enjoyed a spectacular performance by our Grier dancers and choreographers. The audience enjoyed seeing nearly ninety Grier dancers perform twenty-three varied numbers that included solos, small groups, and large groups of ballet, jazz, tap, modern, contemporary, and hip-hop.
The program featured choreography by our esteemed Grier Dance faculty Jocelyn Hrzic, Danielle Bower, and Emmalee Hallinan, as well as, choreography developed with guest instructors, who include: Darrel Grand Moultrie, Kiesha Lalama, Jon Lehrer, Kiki Lucas, Phil Orsano, Melissa Rector, and Nancy Turano. Grier's own Choreography class was responsible for the piece titled
Weighted.
Grier Dance Director, Jocelyn Hrzic, opened the performance by applauding her pre-professional dancers for their hard work and notable achievements. Several summer dance programs offered Grier students admittance or scholarships. Seniors Sara H., Bethany H., and Amy Y. had much to celebrate, as they each received multiple generous offers from college-level dance programs.
