The ladies of the Mahomet Seymour
Dance Team like to do things a bit differently. You see, while many
high school dance troupes like to choreograph their routines to today’s
hottest pop songs, this team isn’t afraid of going with the
unconventional and using their performances to send a real message about
confidence and fearlessness to their peers and audiences.
In this amazing routine posted to YouTube in February 2016, the Mahomet Seymour Dance Team spins, twirls, and leaps their way through a spoken word piece entitled “What Are You Afraid Of?” by Jon Jorgenson. The 14 dancers stun the crowd — and the internet at large — with their interpretive dance that perfectly syncs up with the powerful lyrics.
The most jaw-dropping moment comes at the 1:23 mark, when the lyricist asks the big question over the loud speakers: “What room does fear have?” At that very moment, the dancers turn around to reveal a quick change the crowd never sees coming. Sure, it’s a rather heavy theme for high school students to explore, but they manage to pull it off with strength, grace, and as the school says, translation through art.
