Please Welcome to the Stage... "Oye Como Va"

3rd grade dancers gathered a few minutes before the big show to rehearse as they prepared for their first performance of the semester at the March Flag Ceremony on March 18th. The audience was impressed with the jazz choreography students performed to Santana's "Oye Como Va". They cannot wait to hit the stage again on May 20th during the school dance recital. They are sure to be a hit, again! :)

4th-6th Graders Do "The Wop" with dancers from Urban Plunge

Gearing up for the Grand Fiesta, 4th grade dancers worked with guest teachers during their dance class. Students were engaged and eager to impress their guest teachers with their hip hop skills!!

Herrera thanks Urban Plunge for their community outreach through dance, drama, as well as neighborhood outreach!

Urban Plunge Sneak Peek..

5th through 8th grade students were inspired and artistically motivated by our presenters from ASU's Urban Plunge. Herrera will be hosting dance, acting, and singing workshops free of charge March 12th and 13th from 12:00 p.m until 4:00 p.m. There will then be a performance for the students to show off their new moves on March 15th. Stay tuned for more information! 

5th and 6th grade students push themselves to the limit!

As the year progresses, students are working hard to push their flexibility to the limit. Incorporating exercises at the barre allows students to continue to not only gain flexibility, but also strengthen their core muscles.

Students also are learning about the importance of incorporating cardio into their daily warm up. Below, they demonstrate our cardio warm up, utilized to increase stamina and ease of movement.
