The annual Spring Dance Concert at Walt Whitman High School featured one of Long Island's top high school dance programs, directed and choreographed by Susan Turner Radin. “Wednesday night’s dance concert was a perfect example of the magic of performance and creative process because in spite of the challenges, differences, and obstacles we encountered throughout the year, they came together in perfect harmony and gave a fabulous show.” The evening also showcased the award winning Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble, directed by Allan Deitz and, new this year, the Voices of Walt Whitman choral group, directed by Steven Altinel.
The Jazz Band got things off to a great start performing seven numbers from their 2015-2016 repertoire. Whitman’s Dance director, Ms. Susan Turner Radin then introduced several 2016 Dance Awards. Congratulations to six students who were inducted into the National Honor Society for Dance Arts in New York State on May 31, 2016. Inductees:Sonia Bartolomeo, Gary Cisneros, Taylor Greco, Corina Lambraia, Madison Repetti, and Caroline Tomaselli.
