Spence Dance Concert

Each year, the Spence School's Performing Arts Department puts on a widely acclaimed Dance Concert, with two performances at the Symphony Space, involving students from the Middle and Upper School. This year's show, Glossolalia, featured music from several artists, including Band of Horses, Alison Krauss, and a one-act interpretation of Romeo and Juliet with music by Radiohead. Michael McGowan, Spence's Director of Performing Arts and the director/choreographer of the Dance Concert, along with Spence students MaryAnn B., Natalie B., Louisa L., and Cordelia M. talk about the role of dance in the Spence community, which is an important part of the curriculum beginning in Kindergarten, in the above video.
