By Steven Doan Independence High School is having its annual I-Dance concert. I-Dance is one of the school’s departments that focuses on all types of dance. It is filled with many talented dancers and provides many opportunities for them to perform. I-Dance performs at events like school rallies, talent shows, and on rare occasions, performances outside of school with their very own concerts. To attend their concert, students have the option to purchase $10 tickets from the dancers themselves or pay $15 at the door. Families and friends outside of school are welcome to come. The I-Dance concert will be hosted at the dance studio on campus and on May 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11.
Senior Khang Vo states, “I’m going to support my friends because I know how hard they worked and practiced everyday.” Ever since Spring break finished, the dancers are required to stay at school from the end of 7th period to 10PM. They practice all day long to perfect their performances even if they get exhausted during that time frame. This displays their true dedication for not only their dance pieces, but as well as the dance department itself. Having love and support at the nights of their concerts from friends and family is very appreciated. Senior and performer Gary Moi shares, “I feel really excited because it’s our time to put all of our hard work and dedication to these next few show days. We’ve been practicing for months until dawn to perfect these dances.” I-Dance is probably the most difficult art department in Independence. It encompasses many forms of dance, which makes it very difficult to get just right. Putting immense amount of time and effort is necessary, but physically draining. Having the dancers get the chance to present this in front of a substantially sized audience would be a great accomplishment. “My expectations aren’t anything but to be completely blown away and awed!” Khang says.
