AROUND TOWN

Social Dance

The Hingham Social Dance Program is a series of classes that helps children develop social skills in formal and informal settings. By learning and more importantly, practicing their social etiquette, our students walk away with great confidence by knowing what to do, not only in the ballroom, but in all situations in life. Students will learn the importance of a firm handshake, eye contact, posture, confidence, making a good first impression, standing as a sign of respect, everyday etiquette tips, escorting and seating partners and the importance of conversation.

Hingham Girls Basketball is EXCITED to offer GALs in-town basketball for grades 1-8 and travel basketball for grades 4-8 for the 2021-22 winter season.

The seasons will run from the beginning of December (travel practices may start in November) through mid-March.

The GALs in-town program is divided into divisions based on grade, with some grades combined depending on numbers. All GALs games and practices are held on Sundays in Hingham school gyms.

The travel teams are created after tryouts on Sunday, October 17th and Sunday, October 24th. Travel teams have practice 1-2 nights each week and 1-2 games each weekend at local gyms. To register for travel tryouts, please visit: https://www.hinghamsports.com/page/show/260507-gals-basketball

Registration for GALs in-town will open later this month.
