Big Sis Lil Sis is an exciting new program for dance. It is designed to help the middle school dancers get incorporated into the program and adjusted to dancing at school. 

“The Big Sis Lil Sis program is where dancers from the upper school get paired with dancers from the middle school, usually one to three since there are more middle schoolers,” said Chi Vo ’27.

Its main focus is to help middle school dancers with any problem or provide assistance, and to also encourage and lift them up. “Throughout the year we write each other letters of encouragement and about anything else,” Vo said. 

At the end of the year concert, the upper schoolers get to meet their middle school sisters for the first time. The program is relatively new for dance.

“It was first incorporated into dance in the mid-year of last year,” Vo said.

The program was ultimately instated to make the middle schoolers feel assisted and to help them with any challenges, and it’s a very fun activity for the dancers.

A change that Vo would like to see to the program would be communicating more with the middle schoolers throughout the year.

“If I could change something it would be that we send more letters to each other. Usually we communicate two to three times a year and then we meet at the concert.”

With this change, young dancers can receive even more assistance and support throughout the year. Overall feedback has been positive on the new program.
