Dancing with the Staff

Fall Dance Concert

  • Friday, November 18th, 2022
  • Doors: 6:30 pm
  • Show: 7:00 pm

Welcome

Good evening and welcome to the Ayala High School Fall Dance Concert, Dancing with the Staff. In Act One, we will enjoy Ayala’s favorite staff members grouped together with Ayala Dance Production students as they compete for the coveted Mirrorball trophy. In Act Two, we will watch Advanced Dance and Ayala Dance Production’s student choreography. This is an exciting concert for our students as most of the choreography is created by the dancers themselves and the dancers are performing these pieces for their 1st semester final dance project. Tonight is a wonderful example of the opportunities Ayala High School has for students to study dance, theater, and the arts. We are fortunate that Ayala families value the arts and have supported these programs. With over 150 students participating in our dance program, it shows that these artists have found a nurturing environment to learn, grow, and perform.

Special thanks to the Liu Family, the Hovey Family, the Martinez Family, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Sue DeVillez, Divine Milam, Ayala Key Club, the Ayala Administration Team, CVUSD School Board, Panda Express-Chino, Chick-Fil-A-Chino Hills, and Cannataro’s Italian Restaurant-Chino.

Thank you all for coming and enjoy the show!

Thank You

It is an absolute pleasure to be the Dance Director at Ayala High School. I am honored to be a part of a program that is filled with tradition, passion, and greatness. It's hard to believe that the semester has come to an end so quickly. Thirteen years ago we offered our first beginning dance class with 32 students. And this year, we continue to grow with over 150 dancers!!! I would like to thank Mrs. Yarboi, Mr. Cloke, Mrs. Taylor, and Mrs. Durham for their support and encouragement to establish and offer dance classes to our Visual and Performing Arts and Physical Education Departments. We look forward to continuing our legacy of dance classes and performances with new and continuing students in the upcoming years! To the student directors, it has been an amazing semester. Your passion, leadership, and love for dance is evident in every performance and every moment on the stage. Thank you for all your time and dedication to the dance program. To the Good Vibes Committee members and Dance Captains, thank you for all your hard work, kindness, and dedication you put into preparing for our fall concert. To the seniors, thank you for all you have done to make our program so successful over the years. May you take the leadership skills you gained from the Ayala Dance Program and become leaders in everything you set to accomplish in life. Share your joy for dance and uplifting spirit with those around you as you embark on your last semester at Ayala High School.

Tonight is a wonderful example of the opportunity afforded to our students to study the many styles and types of dance. For some, it is their very first time performing on a stage in front of an audience; for others, it is another chance to share their love of dance with an audience! A special thanks to Mrs. DeVillez, Ms. Yeh, Mrs. Sjol, Mrs. Mensen, Ms. Von Fleckles, Mr. Spellman, Mr. Ly, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Hernandez Estrada, Ms. Abby Lane, to our Dancing with the Staff judges and MC’s, Mr. Trost, Mr. Martinez, to all the Ayala Staff working backstage to make our show run smoothly, and to our Ayala custodial and security staff for keeping us safe. To the dance parents, thank you for your wonderful support. We would not be such a successful program without all your help, love, and dedication to these lovely dancers. I am very much looking forward to the 2nd semester and our Spring Dance Concert in April 2023. Wishing everyone a healthy, safe, and restful Fall break. Happy Thanksgiving!
