He said the choreography is a mix of student, teacher and professionally orchestrated performances with moves similar to those one might see at a performance of the Paul Taylor Dance Company or the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, which happens to be in town this weekend. According to Smith, students have prepared throughout the year for the concert, and the dancers had to pass through a DPS audition process. Smith told The Huffington Post he finds the dance program valuable not only because it teaches students creative movement, but because it engage them in a wide variety of disciplines, including science, mathematics, reasoning and logic.
