The Allen Dance Department recently hosted its annual holiday dance spectacular, presenting two festive performances on December 4 at the Allen Performing Arts Center. The event featured dancers from Lowery Freshman Center and Allen High School across two evening shows.
The showcase opened with the Tallenettes performing to “It’s the Most Wonderful Time,” followed by a wide-ranging program that included AHS Dance, Silver Stars, and several solo performances by Tallenette officers and underclassmen. Each show closed with the Tallenettes’ energetic rendition of “All I Want for Christmas.”
