The male students at Utica have many hidden talents.  During half time of the girls varsity basketball game, spectators were treated to a special performance from Utica’s varsity dance team.

“We were really excited to perform at this half time,” dance captain Madalyn Dishman said. “A lot different from our other dances on the court.”

On senior night for the girl’s basketball team, the dance team performed their annual Girl-Guy dance.

“I admit I’m not the best dancer but I had a lot of fun doing it.” Senior Johnny Tisch said.

Each dancer on the team was paired up with one of 16 boys as they danced to a few songs from the High School Musical soundtrack.

“The dance was a fun thing to do during my senior year,”  Tisch said. “I am really glad I took this chance.”

The boys were given special black t-shirts shirts to wear for the dance so that they were dressed head to toe in black outfits.

“I was scared at first but I had a lot of fun afterwards,” senior Vincenzo Russo said.
