Elementary ballroom dancers to compete

A dozen A.W. Becker Elementary School ballroom dancing students will compete in a dance competition in East Greenbush on Sunday.

The fifth grade students - led by teacher Veronica Mitchell, other faculty and community volunteers - will show their skills in the Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Tango, Rumba and Swing dances during the Dance Crazy Competition at Goff Middle School.

The students have been practicing their dance steps and moves twice weekly for several weeks.

The students were among approximately 32 who took this year in the ballroom dance program at A.W. Becker.  The program, which is in its second year, is designed to empower students and teach poise, grace and teamwork.

A.W.B  Principal Claudia Verga said the program has “had a profound effect on RCS students” just like those in New York City, including improved poise and grace on the dance floor and improved behavior in the classroom.

Students competing in the competition for RCS are:

  • Kaitlyn Anatriello

  • Dominic Racht

  • Ashley Wilber

  • Jaun Caicedo

  • Andrew McHugh

  • Margaret Saltis

  • John Doane

  • Jake Snyder

  • Lexi Zoch

  • Siera Fleming

  • Seamus Mooney

  • Rebecca Young
