HIGHLIGHTS: Booker VPA's spring dance show springs audience to life

Photos by Rachel S. O'Hara Spring isn't the only thing that's sprung. The students of Booker VPA's dance program leapt, pirouetted and moved gracefully across the stage during the Spring Dance Show, which took place from Mrch 28 to 30. Students were en pointe -- and not just because they danced ballet -- they tackled modern styles, too. Booker VPA dance students spent nine weeks carefully learning and rehearsing the professionally choreographed college-level dance program. Their styles reflect mature sophistication but at times were also comedic.
