YCC is the culminating event, or final exam, for the Senior Dance Composition course.\u00a0 Each senior student creates original choreography that is cohesively based on a theme of their choosing. They then cast dancers from the freshman, sophomore and junior classes.

Concert director and Charter Arts dance faculty member, Amy Berry says, “YCC is an invaluable opportunity for students to find their creative selves and to see an artistic process through from conception to the stage.\u00a0 A physical and visual expression of the students’ inner feeling and interests that is always an exciting and entertaining surprise to watch!”<\/p>\n
