Hosted by CdM Orchesis, the event brought students, teachers, friends, and families together for an evening of choreography, performances, and friendly competition.The night featured ten teachers participating in the event. Melissa Ault, Morgan Beckman, Shelly Bergen, Richere Breault, Anh Dufour, Mrs. Lacambra, Elizabeth Moore, Christy Muckenthaler, Ally Rochford, and Emily Sensenbaugh.The winner of the judges’ choice was dance teacher Mrs. Beckman, and the voters’ choice was Mrs. Dufour.For Morgan Beckman, CdM’s dance teacher, participating in the event was an opportunity to reconnect with two former dance students, Lauren Harner and Chloe Jones, who invited her to perform alongside them. Having previously taught both students in middle school dance classes, Beckman was excited to reunite with them on stage.Preparing for the performance required teamwork and dedication from all three dancers. Beckman, Harner and Jones spent time rehearsing together during lunch periods, while Harner and Jones also created practice videos so Beckman could review the choreography independently. Beckman said she used the recordings to not only practice but, “[she] went back and watched the videos and critiqued [herself].After a few weeks of preparation, the trio’s efforts paid off when they were announced as the judges’ winners. Beckman said she was excited to take home the title, especially considering the level of competition.“All of the performances were absolutely amazing, so I was proud to be in such great company,” Beckman said.The event also gave Dance 3 students at CdM the opportunity to experience performing in front of a larger audience and be part of a schoolwide production. For the student dancers, the atmosphere and support from friends and classmates made the experience particularly memorable.“The energy is really nice and just, um, our friends coming out to support us was really nice,” Matea Ginsburg, a senior in Dance 3, said.Performing in the gym for the first time and seeing familiar faces in the audience added to the excitement. Beyond their own routine, the dancers enjoyed watching the other performances and seeing the school community come together.For Beckman, one of the most meaningful parts of the night was experiencing the support of her current students. While she is usually the one encouraging and motivating them before performances, the event gave her the chance to receive that same encouragement from them.“I get the opportunity to hype them up and pump them up before they perform, but it was really sweet and kind for them to be cheering me on and rooting me on for my performance,” Beckman said.Ultimately, Dancing with the Teachers offered more than a competition. Through shared choreography, rehearsals, and performances, the event created an opportunity for students and teachers to connect outside the classroom while celebrating their shared appreciation for dance.
