Dance "fever" sweeps 700 at Mill Valley Middle School

Mill Valley, CA Dance fever swept Mill Valley Middle School as 6th, 7th and 8th graders completed a unique 5-week dance course taught by celebrated dance coach and choreographer Cynthia Glinka of Larkspur.

Glinka taught nearly 700 students the SWING, FOX TROT and RUMBA and on June 15, 2009 the program culminated with the entire school performing a DISCO line dance on the outdoor court, followed by a lunch-hour dance in the gym with music provided by the Mill Valley Middle School Jazz Band.

Bravo - Mill Valley Middle School Students !! We're so proud of you as we were all in step - disco style.

Thanks to the State Arts Fund and coordination by Kiddo! (the Mill Valley Schools Community Foundation). Special shout out to PE teachers Andre Salinas, Sarah Petrini and Melissa Palmer, principal Matt Huxley and the M.V. District Office staff and Trisha Garlock.

I hope to meet you all again . . . on the dance floor.

Funny how seems like most of the people who posted on this page (myself included) go to MVMS. we're doing it again this year and it may become some sort of tradition.

Cynthia,

As an educator I am truly impressed with the job you have done. To watch 700 sets of arms and legs moving together...this is middle school magic!
