Dance Team, alongside Deerfield Academy  and  the  Kent  School, presented the second Interschool Dance Show in Walker Auditorium. The  performance,  organized  by captains  Ophelia  Cham  ’25  and Irene Zeng ’26, included a total of 16 dances alternating between the three teams.

Cham kickstarted the interschool dance tradition in her Lower Mid year by coordinating with the dance directors and faculty members from nearby schools. “Interacting with dancers  from  other  areas  helps build  long  lasting  friendships,” Cham said. “It’s a way to continue to support one another in the dance community.”

The Hotchkiss Dance Team performed several dances from their previous winter showcase, Fae Tale, including “Her,” “Everybody Supports  Women,”  “La  Femme,” and  “Everybody  Wants  To  Rule The World.” The team also added two new dances to their repertoire: “Woo x Circus,” choreographed by Jiyani Bharvad ’27, and “Hung Up,” choreographed and performed by all the dance captains of Hotchkiss, Kent, and Deerfield.

“Choreographing  for  the  dance team has always been a goal of mine,” said Bharvad. “It was really cool  watching  my  vision  come to life and become a spectacular performance.”

Amy Hwang ’26, captain of the Kent Dance Team, said, “It was great  meeting  and  dancing  with other  dancers  outside  Kent.  We found that the energy resonated with  our  audience,  fostering  a supportive and healthy community across   Kent, Hotchkiss, and Deerfield.”
