This year's Dance Concert, "Different Dimensions," is upcoming. We have been working hard all semester learning and even creating pieces we are excited to share with you. From freshmen to seniors, we have over 40 dancers in this year's concert. All of the dancers have collaborated together this year to create a fun and creative show.
This semester, dancers have learned how to work hard and trust each other throughout all of the dances and other projects thrown their way. Many dancers will perform on the stage at Ingram Hall for the first time; others are preparing to take their final bow after four years of dancing at USN. The show is the perfect blend of every dancer, highlighting the strengths and successes of everyone.
“Different Dimensions” perfectly describes how unique each dancer is and how all of our differences fit together to make this incredible show. We hope you come to see the amazing show on which we’ve all worked so hard.
Performances are 7 p.m. Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 in Ingram Hall at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music. Tickets are $5 each, and Tiger Arts Patron members are free. Come out and see a fun and exciting show.

Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
Middle School volleyball and tennis teams are nearing the final games of their seasons, with the competition heating up while the Tigers play to determine their HVAC rankings. Cross country was finally able to race at the River Campus despite the heat, and our mountain biking team traveled to Oakfield, Tennessee, for a high-temperature race weekend.
The MTB team returned to the the twisty trails of tranquil Oakfield, TN on Sept 13th to take part in the second race of the season, as part of the 5-race series hosted by the NICA/TICL League.
