Sophomore Claire Salera, junior Orli Schoff, freshman Angel Gonzalez, sophomore Leah Reece, junior Norah Magargee, and sophomore Madeline Garson dance to "Sleigh Ride" during the winter Dance Haven showcase in the auditorium. The showcase took place on December 13 in the auditorium. "I think it went really well. I think we had a lot of choreographers, and a lot of people trying styles out of their comfort zones, which is really cool," Salera said. "I think it was a really successful show and a lot of people came out to support us, which was good."
