Dance-a-Poem

This category invites teams to bring a poem to life through the creative integration of dance and recitation. Inspired by the CAS statement of the year, two participants will recite the poem while two dancers interpret its message through expressive movement, conveying stories of hope, resilience, and positive change. The performance should creatively communicate the poem's essence within a 3-minute time frame, offering space for emotion, innovation, and artistic expression.
