Dance with CVPA teacher Courtney Mills and students
Our schools may be closed over the holiday break, but we’re ready to dance into the new year! We visited schools across the district to learn some fresh dance moves to take into 2023.
The third and final stop to elevate our dance skills was the Arlington ISD Center for Visual and Performing Arts. We met with dance teacher Courtney Mills and her high school students to learn a modern contemporary phrase. Mills started out in color guard at the age of 14, but after some mentorship from her high school director, she decided to pursue an undergraduate degree in dance at Texas Woman’s University.
