Alexandria Public Schools Community Education

SING! DANCE! ACT! The Rising Stars summer performance program has been a vital and exciting part of our community education line-up for many years. Quality instructors and experienced mentors will assure that students will build skills for stage performance. Students will share the stage with other talented students in a singing, acting and dancing extravaganza! This year’s theme is "Christmas In July”! "Christmas In July" is also known as Yule fest or Yuletide in Australia. July is generally the coldest month of winter, so celebrations emulate the atmosphere of the northern hemisphere winter. That means, our theme will also be "Australian". The Rising Stars experience concludes with a public performance on the evening of Friday, July 28 at the Discovery Middle School Auditorium. PLUS each student will receive a t-shirt!Instructors: Steve Deitz is the Vocal Music Director at Alexandria Area High School; Rachel Capistrant has been Drama Instructor for the Rising Stars Program in previous years, and AAHS Dance Team Coach, Christine Reilly, will lead the dancing.
