St. Joseph School sixth-graders Patrick Sipple and Ella Isasky show off their ballroom dance moves.
Fifth- and sixth-graders at St. Joseph School in Verona recently put on their dancing shoes and showed friends and family they know their way around a ballroom.
They performed at the Catholic school at 825 Second St. at the conclusion of the DanceSport program taught by Luanne O'Brien of Murrysville.
About 30 students practiced in the six-week program, one hour a week, as part of their physical education curriculum. Students were taught dance etiquette, technique and other skills. This is the program's third year at the school. Seventh- and eighth-graders took part in the program last year.
