Students from On the Barre dance studio held a dance event at Epoch Assisted Living & Senior Healthcare of Norton Friday night for approximately 30 residents there.

"I had the idea to perform at Epoch because I wanted our dancers to have the chance not only to perform but to help brighten someone's day," said owner Angela (Stankiewicz) Beyer. "I really feel this was a special experience for them because they were able to truly entertain everyone there."

Girls who participated were Samantha Becker, Alex Becker, Bridget Carr, Rebecca Chauncey, Sierra Chauncey, Ashley Demers, Nicole Dion, Rachel Folan, Samantha Gaglio, Jocelyn Koury, Melissa Koury, Rachel Letourneau, Paige Monast, Amanda Paulhus, Zoe Plante, Ailinn Santos, Mackenzie Smith, Marisa Smith and Catherine Worrall.

"It was a great success," said parent Debra Dion. "The residents were so happy, which made it very worthwhile."
