On April 28 and 29, Addison Trail will present its annual Orchesis Show.

This year’s theme is “Divine Movement,” and the event will feature 21 dance numbers that showcase an array of styles such as hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, modern/contemporary and ballet.

Every aspect of the show – from the choreography, to the costumes to the set and lighting – is run by students. The production will feature 35 dancers, 35 escorts and three hosts.

The Orchesis Team officers said highlights of this year’s show include:

• A number choreographed by Addison Trail alumna Riley O’Donnell (class of 2017), who is a former Orchesis Team President
  
  
• Popular, well-known music “that will have people dancing in their seats”
  
  
• A number where the escorts will perform with the Orchesis Team members

“We want the audience to feel our excitement and the bond we all have together,” the officers said. “We are all very passionate about dance, and our goal is to convey that through our presence on stage and maybe inspire some students to join Orchesis.”
