New Hampshire Dance Institute

Jess Lawler, Instructor
For six days during October and November, the Temple School was alive with dance. Jess Lawler an instructor with the New Hampshire Dance Institute (NHDI) had our students strutting their stuff in preparation for their big performance at our Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner. From kindergarten to fourth grade Jess has the kids in the palm of her hand. Her own enthusiasm and love of dance pours over onto them and before you knew it Temple School had a bonafide dance troupe.
Our kindergarten class was unable to attend the Senior Thanksgiving dinner but that didn't stop them from putting on a special private performance for their parents and relatives.
First grade started the program by dancing to I Want to Hold Your Hand by the Beatles.

Next came the second grade dancing to a lively rendition of Dem Bones .
Third grade continued with a vivacious dance done to the song Hair.

Fourth grade ended the show by dancing to a superbly choreographed interpretation of Flashdance.
The kids had such a great time they are already asking to have Jess back again next year! So are the teachers. There is nothing more rewarding than to see all children working together and being successful.
