LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The students of the "Art Possible Ohio Dance Group" wrap up another year by returning to the Civic Center stage for their final performance.
The program is a weekly dance residency that "Lyn's Dance Academy" has been holding for the past 13 years at Marimor School for both elementary and high school students. Around 40 students took part in the final performance to show off what they'd learned. No matter the student's level of ability, the goal is to help introduce the basics of dance.
"Within our class, we dance, but we do a lot of team-building exercises. We try to incorporate some of their classroom activities into their dance lessons, so we don't only create a dancer; we try to create a well-rounded person," explained Lyn Mulcahy, Lyn's Academy of Dance. "This has been an amazing program. Some of my students I have in this program I've had since preschool, and now they are all the way in high school. So, it's been really fun to watch them grow and mature."
The dance program is made possible by a grant from "Art Possible Ohio." Students from Lima City Schools and Liberty Arts Magnet Touring Company also performed.
