Kindergarten through eighth-grade students hit the dance floor Wednesday, May 13, at the Braden River High School auditorium.
Tara Elementary School and Braden River Middle School dance teams performed 14 routines for family and friends, performing hip hop, jazz and freestyle ballet routines to songs such as Let It Go from Frozen and Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.
Coach Bunni Roberts organized the recital, "Let's Dance," and gave the 80 girls who participated medals at the end.
For middle-school graduates, the recital was an emotional conclusion to their dance career. Eighth-graders embraced Roberts after the recital, as it would be the last time they all danced together, and several of the eighth-graders left after the recital to make it to Braden River High School dance team tryouts.
"I'm sad I'm not going to have my old teammates," said Hayley Veltri, a Braden River Middle School graduate.
