WELCOME TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR! I am excited to be back at Peirce doing what I love....teaching & learning dance with my amazing students! After an exciting couple of years (to say the least), we are finally starting to create and ground ourselves in art once again. The following are a couple of "yay!"s to share:
Ms Shaina Curtis & Ms Kelly McCaffery are our dance residents this year. They come to us from Loyola University Chicago and have all of the amazing energy and skills to not only learn, but help lead us throughout the year. We are so very lucky to have the opportunity to broaden our creative lens with their talents!
Field trip ideas welcome!!! I will be working to seek out performance and field trip opportunities to provide our Peirce students throughout the school year. If you have any ideas or opportunities to share, please email me at [email protected].
LIVE PERFORMANCES ARE BACK!!! I am excited to share that we are finally back to sharing two live performances a year with our Peirce Community. Please stay posted for specific times/dates (either here, or via Ms. Zaimi's Peirce Update emails). As always, reach out with any questions!
❄️ 2023 Winter Performance Schedule ❄️
The arts team is preparing for our end of semester Winter Performance - this is our first winter performance since before the pandemic and we are so excited to have this showcase return! Due to limited space in the gym, we had to break grade levels up and increase the number of performances available for families to attend. Please save the following dates/times for family performances.
