Morita’s dancers nab gold at S. Portland competition

HERMON – It was gold across the board for all entries from Morita’s School of Dance at the recent Dancers Inc. competition in South Portland.

Each of the five numbers scored at least a gold, with the senior dancers’ “Sing, Sing, Sing” performance scoring a “high gold.”

The seniors also received the Fun and Entertaining Award for “Singing in the Rain,” and earned the highest score in their division for “Sing, Sing, Sing.”

The school’s 38th production will be held in two recitals:

. Bucksport, Milo and Lincoln students, 3 p.m. Saturday, May 20, Peakes Auditorium, Bangor High School.

. Hermon students, 3 p.m. Sunday, May 21, Peakes Auditorium, Bangor High School.

Tickets for each show will be available at the door. For information, contact Morita’s School of Dance at 848-5083.
