Mrs. Marsinah Vaughn- Dance Educator
Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year. Although we are facing unprecedented times I am optimistic that this will be a great school year. We will learn so much about ourselves, each other, and most of all DANCE.
The mission of Potomac High School Dance Program (PHSDP) is to provide students with a strong technical foundation in dance, as well as instill an appreciation for the cultural diversity, traditions, values, and history associated with dance. I hope to use this virtual platform and this "new Normal" to enhance the way we view and think about dance.
I look forward to working, growing and learning with everyone this school year.
Mrs. Vaughn
