The afternoon dance program combines jazz, ballet, and modern dance, and is offered as an athletic activity in the fall. Classes focus on improving strength, flexibility, and alignment, and on learning a variety of dance styles. Students may also audition for the Dance Ensemble, a repertory dance company which performs each term. Performances are prepared for Family Weekend, the Holiday Concert, and winter and spring productions. The Thacher Masquers is a theatrical ensemble which puts on a fall play, a winter musical, and a number of one-act plays in the spring.
Auditions are open to all.
These musical groups give performances each term and often participate in the Winter Musical. Private instrumental and vocal lessons are also available. First, it serves a very real need in the local community, providing bright and able volunteers to fulfill a wide variety of jobs. Second, it offers Thacher students an opportunity to provide service in a way that is meaningful, necessary, and appreciated. To do this, CSP has developed a broad program so as to involve, inspire, and inform as many students as possible.
