Fall Dance Concert

  • Thursday, November 9th, 2023
  • Doors: 6:30 pm
  • Show: 7:00 pm

Welcome

Good evening, and welcome to the Ayala High School Fall Dance Concert, "Broadway." Tonight, we will witness captivating dance pieces that our students have been excitedly working on since the summer of 2023. This concert holds special significance for our students, as most of the choreography is their own creation. Some students are performing for the very first time, while others are taking to the Ayala stage for their final Fall Concert performance. Tonight's showcase exemplifies the opportunities Ayala High School offers for students to study dance, theater, and the arts. We are fortunate to have the unwavering support of Ayala families who value the arts and continuously back these programs. With over 150 students participating in our dance program, it's evident that these artists have found a nurturing environment in which to learn, grow, and perform.

Special thanks go out to the lighting and sound crew, the backstage crew, Abby Lane, the Liu Family, the Martinez Family, the Stevens Family, the Moran Family, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Sue DeVillez, Divine Milam, the Ayala Key Club, our Ayala staff, the Ayala Administration Team, and our CVUSD School Board.

Thank you all for coming and supporting the Ayala Dance Program. Enjoy the show!

Thank You

It has been an absolute pleasure to serve as the Dance Director at Ayala High School. I am honored to be part of a program that is filled with tradition, passion, and excellence. It is hard to believe that the semester has flown by so quickly. Thirteen years ago, we offered our first beginning dance class with 32 students, and this year, we continue to grow, now boasting over 200 dancers! I would like to thank Mrs. Yarboi, Mrs. Taylor, Dr. Ashby, and Mrs. Durham for their support and encouragement in establishing and offering dance classes within our Visual and Performing Arts and Physical Education Departments. We eagerly anticipate continuing our legacy of dance education and performances with both new and returning students in the upcoming years.

To the student directors, this has been an incredible semester. Your passion, leadership, and love for dance have shone through in every performance and moment on the stage. Thank you for dedicating your time and energy to the dance program. I look forward to many more performances this year, especially the Spring Dance Concert. To the Costume Crew, Good Vibes Committee members, and Dance Captains, thank you for all your hard work, kindness, and commitment in preparing for the Fall Dance Concert. To the seniors, thank you for everything you have done to make our program so successful over the years. May you apply the leadership skills gained from the Ayala Dance Program in all your future endeavors. Share your joy for dance and uplifting spirit with those around you as you embark on the next chapter of life. Enjoy every moment of the second semester!

A special thanks to Mrs. Wong, the Key Club, the Poly Club, the Chinese Club, Ms. Yeh, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Abby Lane, Mr. DeVillez, Mrs. Martinez, Mrs. Lee Bearden, all Ayala staff working backstage to ensure a smooth show, and our Ayala custodial and security staff for keeping us safe. To the dance parents, thank you for your unwavering support. Our program's success is due in large part to your help, love, and dedication to these talented dancers. To everyone, thank you for making this year so enjoyable for me and our Ayala Dancers.
