DanceWest Presents: In This Moment

In this moment… I breathe in hope …And exhale life.

DanceWest presents IN THIS MOMENT, an exploration of all of the big and little things that make us who we are - from the love we surround ourselves with and the connections we make, to the memories of loss and heartbreak that inevitably shape us as humans.

To moments when we know exactly who we are…

To moments when we realize the need to let go…

To every smile, hug, laughter and tear that comes with every celebration in this life…

DanceWest’s “In This Moment” brings together all of these compelling ideas by sharing these powerful stories through dance. You don’t want to miss it!

This show will feature a variety of dance styles, as well as work from professional guest choreographers, student choreographers, dance films, and more! This all-ages show is sure to delight, mesmerize, and leave you feeling in awe of the beauty, skill, and passion these dancers have to offer.

IN THIS MOMENT” is showing November 30 through December 2, 2023 at 7PM at West Anchorage High School.

Tickets: $12 Student Admission and $15 General Admission

DanceWest is West High School’s dance program that provides dance training and education for all skills and grade levels. Irenerose Castillo, the current director and teacher for DanceWest, shares her passion for dance through a range of classes on technique, dance styles and movement patterns, and by creating and setting choreography for all classes to perform. Students that have never danced before are given the challenge of a lifetime as they train and rehearse for performances. Students who are highly skilled and experienced in dance are given more opportunities to perform, as well as to create choreography that is featured in our highly anticipated dance concerts.
