Under the direction of dance faculty members Desiree Masucci and Bailey Farrell, the RE dancers performed reflective pieces to a range of styles from ballet to hip-hop. The Guitar Ensemble provided the music and vocals for several pieces, with Adam Chopp '22 and Briana Suarez '20 joining Upper School performing arts director Jon Hamm for solos. More than twice as many students participated in this year's fall showcase than in last year's.
