Members of both JV and Varsity dance stand in a line and execute a move from Olivia Esparza’s (12) senior showcase dance.

The annual Senior Showcase premiered the performances of graduating Certificate Program seniors and their accompaniments last Friday at 7 p.m. in the Rothschild Performing Arts Center’s Patil Theater (RPAC).

The upper school’s conservatory Certificate Program includes a four-year study within a field of performing arts, including dance, theater, musical theater, vocal music, instrumental music or technical theater. At the showcase, each senior selected a piece that reflected their area of study.

During the day on Friday, performers rehearsed in the RPAC. Check out photos from behind the scenes of this year’s Senior Showcase below.
