This year’s Dragonette Christmas Show was a chance for dancers young and old to show off their skills to a packed gym, full of parents, fellow students, and the public.  The Dragonettes were joined by MHS Cheer and Studio A Dance for a program featuring a range of dance styles, and ending with a candy toss.

Lines were long for the program, which brought a full crowd into the MHS gym for a fun and athletic night of performances.  

The program began with the MHS Dragonettes performing “Get Big,” a hip-hop number.

Studio A’s Preschoolers followed up with “Do What I Do.”  MHS Cheer then brought a pom-pom dance “Hyperstar,” followed by the Dragonettes military routine, “Protectors”.   Studio A Dance’s K-1st dancers performed “Lollipop Candy.”  Alexus Tarbet performed “Work Song” as a solo. Studio A Dance’s 2nd graders danced  “Everybody Get up” and then the 3rd-5th graders performed “Happy Dance.”  Makiya Shulz danced the second solo of the night with “Take Me to Church.”  Studio A’s 6th-8th graders danced “Yes I Can.”  The MHS Dragonettes ended the program in Santa outfits to “Christmas Special,” and ended with throwing candy to the crowd.
