The CCF team taught both classes and the students had a lot a fun and  the sessions were very lively. All the of students participated in the exercises. Luke also participated to the surprise of his students.

Luke was extremely pleased with their effort and their participation and felt that the sessions were very successful!

 

Later in the afternoon Adrienne taught a vigorous hip-hop class to the dancers that included a variety of classic hip-hop moves. The dancers  never had the opportunity to work with her and it was easy to see that they thoroughly enjoyed her class. Gabby joined in the class and it was great having her participating. Dance teacher Kristen Tyler was very appreciative to have Adrienne back teaching again at QACHS.

Overall, it was a wonderful day of movement classes for the students.
