Dance Show
Every year, Centennial’s Dance Department puts on an end-of-year production designed to showcase our school’s remarkable student talent. This show features dances ranging from full class choreographies to solos in diverse styles including: hip-hop, ballet, tap, jazz, and more. From Secondary 1 to Secondary 5, all students enrolled in Dance have the opportunity to take part in the year-end event. Over the course of the year, all Dance classes practise a choreography that is then performed on stage at the show. Whether the student is a dance expert or a novice, all levels of experience are welcome. The Dance show takes on a new theme every year. Last year, Dance Show 2016: Disney World showcased choreographies inspired by everyone’s favourite theme park. This year, all performances are based on time travel and the film Back to the Future. From1930’s swing to 1970’s disco, Dance Show 2017 is definitely not to be missed. The matinee will be on Wednesday, April 5th during periods 3 and 4. The night shows will be on Thursday, April 6th and Friday, April 7th at 7:30pm. For additional information, please contact: kristen.marriott@rsb.qc.ca |

Luca “Lazylegz” Patuelli
On Monday, February 10th, Luca “Lazylegz” Patuelli came to Centennial Regional High School to speak and dance with our students. This was an event our school community will
not soon forget.
Lazylegz is a Montreal B-Boy born with Arthrogryposis, a disorder that limits joint movement and muscle growth. At the age of 8, he was diagnosed with scoliosis, a condition affecting the curve of his spine. He recently appeared on The Ellen Show, Tout le monde en parle, and So You Think You Can Dance, and he performed at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver.
On the day of his visit to Centennial, all students were invited to the gyms at lunch to come dance with Lazylegz and his partner, Marie-Elaine Patenaude, co-founders of Projet RAD, an organization promoting inclusive education for all students in the urban arts. Many of our students danced with our guests, while others cheered on our performers from the sidelines.

After the performance, Lazylegz worked one-on-one with a few of our students to give them some break dancing tips. During Period 3, our Défi-Sportif athletes had the opportunity to participate in a smaller dance workshop with Lazylegz and Marie-Elaine. These students learned some new moves
and shared their dance ideas with our visitors, as
well.
Students and staff thoroughly enjoyed Lazylegz’s visit to Centennial. Through his words, as well as his dance moves, he inspired us to truly understand and believe his motto, “No Excuses, No Limits”!
