WHO WE ARE
"The dance department... it's like a home, and like a family."
In this mini-documentary, we hear WYMHS Dance Department alumni talk about their experience in the program and what dance means to them.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
"The Importance of Leaving a Light On" by Ana Gore & Julia Medina
In another mini-documentary, we explore dance as more than just a form of expression, but an outlet as well. Get an in-depth look at what goes into one of our performances as student choreographer Naomi Wu talks about what her piece, "Leave a Light On," means to her. Ms. Gordon, our director, and Ms. Williams, a member of the counseling department, discuss what students dance for and the importance of mental health.
