​
The Fagan Institute of Dance is a new program coming to East. What could this mean for the future of East programming? Known internationally as Garth Fagan and celebrating 50 years of dance, this new program will arrive in January 2023 accepting 25 upper and an additional 25 lower school scholars. Sign up for this program is ending fast as the last day is Tuesday, November 29th. In this extra-curricular, participants will learn the art of contemporary dance as well as go on field trips that strengthen the foundation of their knowledge. Practices will last up to an hour long and will take place after school two times a week. Practices will be held in the recently renovated Collaboratorium, and there will be a chance to win prizes. Take full advantage of this program to start your 2023 off right!

This opportunity to participate in the Fagan’s program can be seen as a pilot or gateway to get more programming at East. If done correctly it will serve to benefit alum and future alumni. According to Mrs. Gibbons of the resource center, “We can expect to see more programming in the near future.”
