Area Youth Invited to Buffalo Grove’s 5th Annual Orchesis Dance Clinic

     Buffalo Grove High School is pleased to present its 5th Annual Orchesis Dance Clinic on Saturday, Jan. 18, 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m., for all interested 4th-8th grade boys and girls in the school's attendance area.
     The clinic, at a cost of $25 per participant, includes two master classes with the acclaimed BGHS Orchesis dancers, a t-shirt and a snack, and the opportunity to perform for a parent audience at 12:30 p.m. that day in the school’s Miller Theater. Clinic participants should enter the school at the theater entrance (Door #1) and meet in the theater.
     Under the direction of Michelle Carrison, assisted by Jamie Kapsimalis, BGHS Orchesis is in its 41st year as a dance program and co-curricular activity. The co-ed group encourages opportunities to perform and choreograph all dance art forms, including ballet, jazz, hip-hop, modern, break-dancing, lyrical, tap, character, multicultural, and more.
     Orchesis performs at halftime football games, assemblies, District 214 dance events, and was previously selected to perform in the half-time show of the nationally televised Orange Bowl.
