Our principal and other higher education leaders have decided to take dance and combine it with classes that are AOE(Academy of engineering) based. These classes being holograms, drones, lights, audio, etc. Though this idea of a new class is a great one, the execution overall is terrible. Students at harmony use dance as a way to escape and express themselves, and to take away a class that is loved just to provide more for AOE is ridiculous. Dance at Harmony Magnet Academy is a great class and opportunity that brings people together in the pathway APA(Academy Performing Arts). In this such class we perform at harvest festival and spring festival while students also choreograph their own dance to a song of their choice to also perform at the spring festival. Its a great way to showcase hidden talent and creativity. Though our teacher is retiring, the higher educational leaders took it upon themselves to take away our dance class and make it a more AOE based experience and class. Our dance teacher would never want this after she leaves! We want dance at Harmony Magnet Academy back!
