Freshman dancers Hattie Gavazzi, and Katie Barrett said that it was stressful at times backstage, but overall it was the best feeling when they started dancing on stage.

This showcase included tributes to the Avengers, Dr. Seuss, and Mean Girls.

Freshman dancer Katie Barrett said, “The practice was hard at times but worth it in the end.”
