Fall Dance Concert

  • Friday, November 14th, 2025
  • Doors: 6:30 pm | Show: 7:00 pm

Welcome

Good evening and welcome to the Ayala High School Fall Dance Concert, Love. In our show this evening, we will watch wonderful dance pieces that students have been working on since the beginning of the school year. This is an exciting concert for our students as most of the choreography is created by the dancers themselves. Some students are performing for the very first time and others will be performing for their last fall dance concert. Tonight is a wonderful example of the opportunities Ayala High School has for students to study dance, theater, and the arts. We are fortunate that Ayala families value the arts and have supported these programs. With over 200 students participating in our dance program, it shows that these artists have found a nurturing environment to learn, grow, and perform.

Special thanks to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Sue DeVillez, Divine Milam, Mrs. Bearden, Mrs. Sherratt, Ms. Yeh, Ayala Key Club, Grace Songco, Roselle Martinez, Andrea Moran, Jeff and Teresa Stevens, Ranee Jimenez, and our amazing Ayala staff for all of your continued help and support to the Ayala Dance Program!

Thank you all for coming and supporting the Ayala Dance Program. Enjoy the show!

Thank You

It is an absolute pleasure to be the Dance Director at Ayala High School. I am honored to be a part of a program that is filled with tradition, passion, and greatness. It's hard to believe that this semester has come to an end so quickly. Fifteen years ago we offered our first beginning dance class with 32 students. And this year, we continue to grow with over 200 dancers! I would like to thank Mrs. Yarboi, Mr. Newcomb, Mr. Hale, Mr. Kunishima, and Mrs. Schiller for their support and encouragement to establish and offer dance classes to our Visual and Performing Arts and Physical Education Departments. We look forward to continuing our legacy of dance classes and performances with new and continuing students in the upcoming years! To the student directors, it has been an amazing semester. Your passion, leadership, and love for dance is evident in every performance and every moment on the stage. Thank you for all your time and dedication to the dance program. To the Costume Crew, Good Vibes Committee members and Dance Captains, thank you for all your hard work, kindness, and dedication you put into preparing for our show. To the seniors, thank you for all you have done to make our program so successful over the years. May you take the leadership skills you gained from the Ayala Dance Program and become leaders in everything you set to accomplish in life. Share your joy for dance and uplifting spirit with those around you as you embark on your last high school semester.

Tonight is a wonderful example of the opportunity afforded to our students to study the many styles and types of dance. For some, it is their very first time performing on a stage in front of an audience; for others, it is another chance to share their love of dance with an audience! A special thanks to my family, The Hofstetter’s and The DeVillez Family, thank you for unconditional love, guidance, and support. Ms. Yeh, Mrs. Sherratt, Mr. Davis, Ms. Divine Milam, Mrs. Bearden, and to all the Ayala Staff working backstage to make our show run smoothly, thank you for always being there to support the Ayala Dance Program. To our Ayala custodial and security staff, thank you for keeping our campus clean and our students, staff and guests safe. To the dance parents, thank you for your wonderful support. We would not be such a successful program without all your help, love, and dedication to these lovely dancers. Thank you to everyone, you have made this year so enjoyable for me and to our Ayala Dancers.
