On Nov. 8 at 6:30 p.m. Tabor Academy will host its first Fall Dance Recital under new dance director, Kimberlee Williams. The dancers will take the big stage of the Fireman Center for Performing Arts, in Hoyt Hall, 245 Front Street, Marion.

Williams, a new Spanish teacher at the school, is also the co-director of equity and inclusion and a dorm parent. Williams started dancing when she was six years old and trained with some of Debby Allen’s teachers in the DC area.  She has had the opportunity to perform, coach, and choreograph for the last 21 years and hopes to never stop dancing.  

“I hope to inspires those who don’t fit the stereotype of what a dancer looks like to pick up dancing and fall in love with it, just the same way I did,” Williams said.

The show will include various forms of dance from contemporary to hip hop to ballet. Williams has also introduced an African piece to the show.

“This year we hope to connect the audience to the meaning behind each piece and to share what the dance program is like to encourage others to join us in the spring or in the fall of next year,” said Williams.
