Ms. Tedford has always taught her students to dream big and aim high. So it is only appropriate that this Charity Dance Show, an annual event organized by her and the Orchesis Dance Company (ODC), should support those without a chance. This year, on Dec. 17, a production lineup consisting of ODC, Color Guard, the Laker Girls, Barcada Modern and many, many more performers will work to raise money for those in third-world countries. The goal for this year's Charity Dance Show is to donate $5000 for girls who are desperately in need of a dream and a chance to fulfill that dream... through the organizations Care and The Girl Effect.

Ms. Tedford's three beginning dance periods have been gearing up for the event since September, featuring even more dance styles.The girls and boys of Intermediate Dance will perform two pieces: one rock, one musical theater. The latter will be a joint production with Theater 2-- the piece will be a tribute to the history of musical theater, with songs from The Chorus Line, West Side Story, and Hairspray.

Yet many more will be there: Sahira Dance Company in a Bollywood dance style, and Rhetoracle Dance Company in jazz.
