Addison Trail to present annual Orchesis Show

On April 29 and 30, Addison Trail will present its annual Orchesis Show.

This year’s theme is “Don’t Stop the Dancing,” and the event will feature more than 20 dance numbers that showcase an array of styles such as hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, salsa, modern/contemporary and musical theatre.

Every aspect of the show – from the choreography, to the costumes to the set and lighting – is run by students, and the production will feature 30 dancers, 30 escorts and five hosts.

The Orchesis officers said they’re thrilled to perform in person with no restrictions for the first time since 2019. They also are excited to have an added date this year, as the school will host three shows.

“The audience members can look forward to a high-energy performance, with strong technique and new types of dances we haven’t done in a while,” the officers said. “They also can expect to see that ‘wow’ factor. We want them to have as good of a time as we’re having on stage.”
