'Heartwarming': Harborfields HS Dance Club Inspires Next Generation Of Performers
Dance club adviser Jackie Best says the older kids helping the younger ones is "a testament to the power of mentorship within our district."
GREENLAWN, NY — The Harborfields High School Dance Club joined forces with the Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School cheer team to create a dance routine in what the school district called a "heartwarming display of collaboration."
The culmination of their efforts came to life during a December performance at a Harlem Wizards basketball game. The routine was choreographed by Ainsley Batsford, Amelia Freiberger and Clara Upston.
This year, the dance club worked closely with more than 30 enthusiastic members of TJL’s cheer team. Beyond dancing, the collaborative sessions served as a platform for important discussions on commitment, healthy choices, positive decision-making and the value of camaraderie.
