Creating Balance Through Dance - Winona ISD
Lauren Hinch, our lead dance instructor, has been making HUGE improvements to the dance program at Winona ISD! This program has been integrated into ALL 3 campuses and is embedded into the fabric of the school community by providing more performance opportunities than ever before. To showcase some highlights, the elementary after school dance program hosted their Christmas Showcase with Christmas themed dances and middle and high school dance class students attended the Rangerette Christmas Show for their field trip in December. They are currently preparing for their end of year showcase!
