A patchwork of ballet, modern dance, and tap styles came together at the Lehigh Valley Charter HS for the Arts to end of last school year. According to artistic director of dance Kimberly Maniscalco, “The Charter Arts Dance Department’s ‘Quilt’ was the final product of a year-long repertory course that all dance students enroll in each year.” With the 2018-19 school year already underway, the instructors and students will soon begin many hours of work to craft a new quilt to be admired in the spring.
In the meantime, “Dance Soup,” a showcase of student-choreographed work is scheduled for Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Choreographed by Jennifer Dite Weaver, students perform with colorful boxes as dance partners to music by Crazy Frog for “9-19-19.” The program notes that this and two other numbers are works “inspired by a box containing a WWII soldier's journal, a seashell from Jekyll Island, an Elvis Presley CD, the date 9/19/19, and a bottle brush.” At left is Zoe Fortkamp.
