Artist-in-residence teaches Sorensen students dances from around the globe

Fans fluttered, scarves waved in the air and Sorensen Magnet School of Arts and Humanities students moved to global beats. It was a colorful day of cultural choreography as artist-in-residence Rachel Horner led students in a variety of "World Dance" performances during the school's Friday Gathering. The students spent the last two weeks learning nine traditional dances from such countries as France, India, Ireland, China and Japan.
