On May 4 students from Morton East high school held a
dance show for the general public. There was a large variety of dances. They danced
Mexican Folkloric, Quebradita, Swing dances, Square dancing, Latin dancing,
Modern dancing, popping, hip pop, break dancing with special performances by
our guests from Durango.
"The concert had about 14 different acts, only
two numbers were cut," Ms.Borjon said.
Many students auditioned for a spot in the show, but
not everyone could make itMs. Borjon, and all the other judges had a very
difficult decision when choosing the numbers for the
show.
"It was hard to decide which acts to keep, but we
actually made an exception and kept more acts than we originally planned,"
Ms. Borjon said.
All of the students who auditioned put forth a lot of
hard work. They were all really good and it was tough when choosing who made
it.
"We practiced for over four weeks and worked very
hard, and it all paid of at the end because we made it", senior Guadalupe
Diaz said.
It's not easy getting the steps rights.
"It was interesting because we chose a new type
of choreography, but, hey, it's always good to try something new," senior
Joel Sanchez said.
For seniors, the concert was emotional.
"I really wanted one last show to remember when I
leave off to college," senior Gladys Javier said.
Overall the show was great. The dancers gave it all
they had; they practiced every day.
"Everyone who expected an amazing show was
satisfied," senior Julio Lome said.
