Benefit Dance Recital

The Benefit Dance Recital is an annual spring event held at Lyndon Institute. All proceeds are given to organizations around the NEK that offer activities involving physical exercise or movement, are striving to help people in our community attain a healthy lifestyle, or are working to provide more opportunities for kids/teens to experience the arts or support for lifelong wellness.

This year’s recital proceeds will be given to Catamount Arts to assist in supporting their Arts Programming for Schools and the Community. To read and learn more about educational arts opportunities through Catamount Arts, visit www.catamountarts.org/education/

The Benefit Recital is organized by LI Dance Teacher and founder/coordinator of the annual VT State Dance Festival, Rebecca McGregor. The dancers performing in the Benefit Show this spring are enrolled in dance programs at Lyndon Institute, Lamoille Union High School, Dance Express, St. Johnsbury Ballet Studio, The Demers Sisters, Kingdom Community Ballet, and students of Veronica Factory.

This year’s Benefit Recital will be held at the LI Alumni Auditorium on Friday, April 12th, at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation, and all proceeds will go to Catamount Arts!

ADMISSIONS

Whether a student is getting hands-on experience in the classroom, in the workshop, on the playing fields, or in extracurricular activities, we believe that students learn "by doing" and we strive to offer multiple opportunities for our students to create, discover, make, build, and explore.

ACADEMICS

The teachers and administrators of Lyndon Institute believe that learning is a process which continues throughout life, and that formal education should provide a sound basis for later development. We recognize that student interest and motivation are vital to educational success and therefore, school should be both a challenging and enjoyable experience for all concerned.
