Students from the Titans Dance Company presented at the Dec. 8 Lorain City Schools Board meeting to describe performing at Playhouse Square and to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.
Michael Scott and Superintendent Dr. Jeff Graham highlighted the district’s arts expansion and said dance is now offered across grade levels. "We are literally the only school district in Ohio that has a comprehensive program from elementary through into high school, where dance is offered in all of our schools," Michael Scott said at the meeting.
Multiple student members described how the Playhouse Square performance broadened their experience and built confidence. One student said the opportunity "gave me a chance to perform at a sold out theater" and several described dance as a vehicle for self-expression and community.
Board members and administrators thanked the students and staff, and the board acknowledged external partnerships and visiting artists who have worked with district dancers. Community speakers later urged the board to protect arts programming amid upcoming budget discussions.
Next steps: no formal action was required; the board acknowledged the program as an asset while later agenda items referenced potential district-level budget cuts that could affect programming.
