On May 9th and 10th, Crater Renaissance Academy is proud to present the 6th Annual Spring Dance Recital showcasing the hard work and determination of 62 dance students. Through residencies with Dancing People Company (DPC) and UO Repertory Dance Company, CRA students have been exposed to many techniques and choreographic inspirations. CRA’s dance program is one of few high school dance programs in the state of Oregon. Choreography this year is created by students, local DPC dancer Erin Drummond, Rebecca Campbell (a teacher in the school of BIS), and Precision Cheer Academy coach Joey Kaufmann. Dance disciplines showcased will include modern, jazz, hip hop, and street.
