Kentridge High School students and community present the eighth annual Dance for Heart program on Friday, Feb. 7, National Heart Awareness Day.<\/p>\n
The program, “Everybody Dance Now,” is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the school’s Performing Arts Center, 12430 SE 208th St., Kent.<\/p>\n
The event features more than 150 performers, with the theme of the 1980s and early ’90s hip hop.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from the show – sponsored by the American Heart Association (AHA) and Kentridge Sports Medicine – support the AHA.<\/p>\n
Past shows have raised thousands of dollars for the AHA, according to Denise Wiskow, a sports medicine teacher, coach and Yoga Club advisor at Kentridge who has been directing the show since its inception. The show includes Kentridge-area performers.<\/p>\n
“It’s a great opportunity for all students to show their talent and to work together as a team to raise heart disease awareness to the community,” Wiskow said. “This show brings all different cultures and all of the dance groups together at Kentridge.”<\/p>\n
The entertainment lineup includes performances from the Chatelaines; Kentridge gymnastics; the Little Chargers; Steppers and Ballers; the Yoga Club; multicultural dancers from K-pop to hip hop; singers, solo and other dancers.<\/p>\n
The program is part of the school’s devotion to February, Heart Health Month.<\/p>\n
Admission is $10 and includes a “heart” T-Shirt.<\/p>\n
