Sixteen students from a Potters Mills dance studio will dance at the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla., next month.
“It’s a celebration of what the kids have accomplished over the last eight years of the studio,” said Sarah Mason, who along with her husband, Chuck, runs and owns the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts at 200 Old Fort Road.
Organizers offered Mason’s students slots at halftime celebrations for other bowl games. But Mason chose the Orlando game because it was open to performers eight years and up — that, plus the location is nice for families who want to incorporate the trip into their Christmas vacations.
The bowl game will take place Dec. 28, and Mason expects to receive the choreography instructions later this week. Mason’s 16 students range in age from 9 to 18 and have experience with tap, jazz and ballet.
“It’s a pretty diverse group,” Mason said.
To help pay for the trip, Mason and the students will host a quarter auction fundraiser Sunday at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Potters Mills, located along U.S. Route 322, just west of the state Route 144 intersection. Doors open at 3 p.m. and the auction starts at 4 p.m.
