Franklin High School ~Dance & Fusion~ By Daniela C.

Spring Dance Concert Every year a Spring Dance Concert is held at the Chamizal National Memorial Theater. Franklin High School is the only school that is allowed to use the Chamizal Theater for this event. Each year FHS is chosen out of hundreds of applications. We come out first because we have the best dancers and shows in the whole city of El Paso and the county.

Traveling to New York Every other year we go to New York City and take classes in modern, jazz, ballet, tap, and funk/hip hop from the very best teachers in New York. We see Broadway Musicals, and various dance companies in performance.

Competitions We don't compete because I feel that art should be shared and not compared. If we did, I know that Fusion would win every award, because they are so awesome- well trained -skilled- beautiful dancers! - Pam Turley
