Denison School has two student international swing dance couples. The students started dancing in second grade with the assistance of an I CARE grant, through Art House. On August 24, 2008 they competed in Washington DC in the International Lindy Hop Championship. Seventh grade students Derrick Summerville and Siobhan Tompkins walked away second place winners, while Sasha Gross and Catalino Lopex III championed third place. The students were also featured on NewsChannel 5’s Live on Five newscast as a local angle to the premiere of the hit ABC show, Dancing with the Stars. In May 2009, students will have the opportunity to compete in New York for Frankie Manning’s, one of the original swing dancers, 95th birthday celebration. Good luck students!
