On Saturday, January 27, 2024 Walt Whitman High School hosted the Long Island Dance Team Association (LIDTA) competition. The full day of performances were marveled by supportive spectators who came out to cheer on their teams. In addition to Whitman and Stimson Middle School, there were numerous Long Island and Regional schools represented. Our Whitman team, under the direction of Ms. Kiva Boozer, helped the show go off without a hitch with their small division routines. We wish a big congratulations to Whitman on a 3rd place finish in Varsity Hip Hop, and congratulations to our Stimson dance team who also competed and placed 1st in Pom!

 

All of our talented students performed with distinction, adding a special touch of athletic and artistic class to our school community. We also join in thanking the numerous Dance Team parents who labored tirelessly throughout the weekend to bring the prestigious competition to our schools. 

 

Congratulations to our Stimson and Whitman dancers and thank you to all of our schools for participating in this exciting event!
