The annual Orchesis Youth Dance Workshop is open to any K-8 grade student! The 1-day workshop will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at Barrington High School. All students K-8 are welcome, as no prior dance experience is required! This opportunity is open to all students and aspiring dancers in elementary and middle school!
K-8 students will have the opportunity to take a dance class taught by our very own BHS Orchesis company dancers and learn choreography to perform in a student showcase in the Barrington High School Auditorium. With the registration fee, K-8 grade students will receive workshop classes, choreography, and a performance opportunity (2 complimentary tickets for each participant). In addition, a small snack, water, a t-shirt, and opportunities to connect with the BHS Orchesis dancers.
Additional audience members are welcome with $5 general admission! They will have the opportunity to enjoy the student dances along with some previews of the BHS Orchesis Fall Dance Concert premiering October 12 and 13 in the BHS Auditorium.

At the August 13 Barrington 220 Board of Education meeting, the Board unanimously voted to proceed with a referendum seeking voter approval to address safety, security, and instructional needs at our schools, as well as build a new community auditorium at Barrington High School.
More than 2,500 community members collaborated throughout 2024 on a plan to address these challenges. The district then worked to make that plan even more efficient and fiscally responsible, saving taxpayers $11.5 million.
The final $64 million community-driven plan would cost the average district household an additional $236 per year. This plan will now go to the community for final approval in the upcoming November 5, 2024 election.
If successful, the referendum will:
- Increase Safety & Security throughout Barrington 220
- Build a New Community Auditorium at Barrington High School
- Enhance STEAM and Instructional Spaces for Students
The community's plan for the future of our schools would ensure all Barrington 220 students have access to the quality education they deserve. It would allow us to alleviate safety concerns, address accessibility, improve programming, and increase opportunities for all our students. We could better protect the community's investment in our buildings and safely support the community's desire to use our high school for more events. All of this leads to an even higher quality school district, which leads to higher property values for our residents, and a stronger community.
