Dancers shine, seniors honored at dance showcase

The Stage to ScREen All-School Dance Showcase featured RE dancers from the Class of 2032 to the upper school RE Dance Team, honoring graduating seniors Austin Sayfie Aagaard '26, Sofia Berkshire '26, Elena Castrillon '26, Julianne Gallagher '26 and Isabella Rojas-Cueva '26. The foot-tapping evening at the Lewis Family Auditorium on May 1 included famous showtunes and movie musical numbers and provided a forum for RE's dancers to show off the range of styles they learn under dance faculty Desiree Masucci Balseiro, Luz Stella Perez de Corcho '11 and Tess Guidry. Near the end of the showcase, the dancing paused for a film tribute to the senior class.
