It was all about The Beatles on Saturday, May 4 for the “Come Together” Dance Recital and Concert presented by Rabun Gap-Nacochee School and The Studio at Rabun Gap.

Dancers brought the famous band’s iconic songs to life in two performances. Beatles songs in the show included “Baby, You Can Drive My Car,” “Yellow Submarine,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Help!,” “Here Comes the Sun,” “Hey Jude,” and “I Wanna Hold Your Hand.:

Young dancers of all ages performed in the show, including those from The Studio classes at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School’s dance program. Heidi Spoon, director of dance for Rabun Gap and The Studio, directed the show.
