The BHS Tiger Dance Company: "Drove All Night"
Bluffton High School's new Tiger Dance Company presented its first show Saturday, May 9, raising funds for charity and bidding farewell to four seniors. See the Monday, May 9, News-Banner for more details. Go to www.news-banner.com.
Tiger Dance Company Presents First Charity Show
Bluffton High School’s new Tiger Dance Company presented its first show Saturday afternoon, raising funds for charity and bidding farewell to four senior members who will not be able to perform at future shows due to graduation.
Taylor Coratti, Lexi Garrett, Megan Hunter and Aja Hurst made their first and last appearances with the new group in a show which featured dancing representing three genres – lyrical, jazz and hip hop. Several members of the dance company also perform with Bluffton’s show choir, “Musical Entourage” which opened the show with performances of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidociuos” and “Alice’s Theme.”
Funds raised from the show benefited the Andrea Rizzo Memorial Foundation – a charity dedicated to the memory of Andrea Rizzo, who survived cancer as a young child but was then killed by a drunk driver while attending graduate school for dance therapy.
First year English/Language Arts teacher Amanda Berhalter (pictured above at far left during the "senior tribute" portion of the show with, continuing left, Hurst, Hunter, Garrett and Coratti) began the company shortly after Christmas. She hopes to make the show an annual event, and if the enthusiasm shown by the students is any indication, she will have plenty of students signing up to participate.

New Tiger Dance Company Performing For Charity Saturday
Bluffton High School has a new dance troupe, and the students will be strutting their stuff for the public Saturday, in an effort to raise funds for charity.
English/Language Arts Teacher Amanda Berhalter started the group just after Christmas break. Saturday afternoon, they will be performing in an attempt to raise funds for the Andrea Rizzo Memorial Foundation in the first (of what Berhalter hopes will become an annual event) Tiger Dance Company Charity Dance Show.
Over 30 dancers will be performing, and will showcase three genres of dance - hip hop, jazz and lyrical dance styles.
Bluffton’s show choir, “Musical Entourage” will also perform at the show.
The Andrea Rizzo Memorial Foundation is dedicated to Andrea Rizzo, who survived cancer as a young child but was killed by a drunk driver while attending graduate school for Dance Therapy. Through the help of donations, this foundation provides dance therapy to children with cancer and other special needs.
“All proceeds from the show will be benefitting the foundation,” advised Berhalter. “We will have buttons and pamphlets for those who are interested in learning more about the Andrea Rizzo Memorial Foundation.”
