Dance

Header Image

A cornerstone of the Academy's Performing Arts department, the dance program is a vibrant blend of rhythmic and musical expression. Under the direction of Donna Reese '77, the Holy Cross dance program's performance calendar is highlighted annually by back-to-back nights of show-stopping recitals to what is always a sold-out house of enthusiastic fans each winter and spring. Our program is bolstered by the talent of the Adrenaline Dance Team, which is comprised of the Academy's top dancers in the areas of musical theatre, ballet, modern, tap, and jazz, and our brand new student-choreographed Hip-Hop club.
