This school year, the Danceworks program at the Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) celebrated 40 years of inspiring creativity and performance. Open to CCSD students of all grades and skill levels, this annual celebration of movement gives students the opportunity to share their talents with classmates, family and friends. Proudly sponsored by the Calgary Catholic Junior High School Athletic Council, this year’s showcase featured 69 high-energy performances across seven host high schools. Beyond the performance, dance supports the health and wellness of body, mind and spirit, making every step meaningful.
Many helping hands and caring hearts made Danceworks possible for the CCSD’s students, from committee members to teacher–choreographers and volunteers. In particular, principal Shannon Griffin has made a significant contribution this work, with many years of dedicated leadership as committee chair. Her commitment has helped ensure that CCSD students can experience the joy of movement and has made a lasting impact.
