On Wednesday, March 3, the Rider Riderettes presented “For You,” another great showcase of performing arts here at Roosevelt. The Rider Riderettes started the show with their hip-hop competition piece.

The Break Club and Tap Club pitched in with a couple lively, crowd-pleasing performances. More beautiful dance routines followed, including audience-favorite “Tutting” by Felix Huynh, a cute and zesty pantomime routine, and a moving lyrical piece performed by senior Ruby Miller, junior Audrey Wheeler, sophomore Erika Jacobsen and freshman Madhavi Narayanan. The Rider Riderettes also performed their basketball halftime piece, and juniors Zoe Geiger, Audrey Wheeler, and Sarah Clevenger danced a Pointe piece to Sleeping Beauty’s “Bluebird.”

It wasn’t all dance: senior Sophi Obenza took the stage singing Phil Collins’ “True Colors” and “Thunder and Lightning.” Sophomore Devan Campbell swooned us with Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb” and Sarah Evans’ “Born to Fly”.

“The showcase this year was perfect, and we have our coach, Mindy Lu, to thank for that. The audience seemed to really enjoy the diversity of pieces we displayed, and we raised a ton of money for competitions!” said junior Riderette Zoe Geiger.
