Class of 2026 Senior Dinner
What an incredible night!

The Dance Guild Senior Dinner was a beautiful evening celebrating an incredible group of seniors and the friendships, memories and accomplishments they’ve shared at BTWHSPVA.

From laughter and heartfelt moments to photos at the balloon wall and time spent together as a dance family, the night was a special opportunity to honor this talented class of graduating seniors.

We are so proud of our seniors and can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the next chapter!
