Fallbrook High's performance dance team shines

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook High School's performance dance team has had a great start to the 2018-2019 school year.

The team has performed during halftime at football games and at community events such as the Sept. 11 Memorial presentation.

The team will perform 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 5, alongside the professional dance company Mojalet Dance Collective in a show titled "Progressive Steps" at the Bob Burton Performing Arts Center, 2400 South Stagecoach Lane, in Fallbrook.

The performance will showcase the level of progression from high school dancers to college dancers and finally to professional company dancers and provide an opportunity for the performance dance team to work with a professional company.

The fourth annual Winter Showcase will be held Friday, Dec. 14, to showcase not only the performance dance team but also the entire Fallbrook High School dance program. The performance will display the various styles that students learn in their first semester of class, taught by Anna Gravenkamp.

Local youth will be invited to participate and to perform with the Fallbrook High dance team at a clinic for youth ages 5-18. Sign up information will be posted on the Fallbrook High School dance website.

The spring will bring a variety of shows as well, including Dancing with the Athletes, Spring Dance Concert and Student Choreography Showcase. All of the performances will be held at the Bob Burton Center for the Performing Arts on the Fallbrook High School campus.

Proceeds from ticket sales of all dance performances go directly back into the dance program at Fallbrook High School. For more information on these or any future shows, contact Anna Gravenkamp, dance teacher at Fallbrook High School, by email at [email protected] or by phone (760) 723-6300.
