The SHS Fine Arts Dance classes had the incredible opportunity to participate in master dance classes today with Mrs. Katie Theriac, a recent graduate of Lamar University. Our Fine Arts Dance students explored the fundamentals of tap in an engaging Intro to Tap class, while our Dance Team challenged themselves with an Advanced Contemporary session. It was an inspiring day of learning and growth!
