A school year’s worth of work will be on display Tuesday, May 4, as nearly 120 Avon Elementary School students take the Vilar Performing Arts Center stage by storm to showcase their skills in the Celebrate the Beat “End-Of-The-Year” performance.
Free of charge and slated for a 6 p.m. start, the “End-Of-The-Year” performance will feature students from grades 3 to 5 in a variety of musical and dance offerings.
First introduced to Vail in 2007 by Vail International Dance Festival director Damian Woetzel and CTB Artistic Director Tracy Straus as a free Dance Festival educational offering for local children, Celebrate the Beat introduces the students to music, dance, art and self expression, using the award-winning and inspirational National Dance Institute teaching techniques created by Jacques d’Amboise and his staff.
In addition to the one-week program conducted during the Dance Festival, Celebrate the Beat was incorporated into the annual curriculum for third to fifth grade students at Avon Elementary School in 2008, while also having a presence in six other valley-wide elementary schools.
