![The "extra small group" performers from the Palo Alto Dance teams' jazz/contemporary piece "Eight" points to their first-place award in United Spirit Associations National Competition March 23 in Anaheim, California. According to dance team sophomore officer Karin Blumenfeld, the pressure of continuing the team winning streak was a standout moment at nationals. "A big mindset this year coming off of two wins in the previous year after not having won for a very long time was the expectation on us to win," Blumenfeld said. "There have been so many years where we haven't [won] and we were definitely super nervous, but we pulled through."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_6223.jpg)
![Community members gathered to protest against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and stand up for democracy and equality yesterday afternoon in front of the Tesla showroom on El Camino Real. According to event organizer Melissa Dinwiddie, the demonstration is in opposition to what she said was an oligarchy taking place in America, not the Tesla company itself. “We have nothing against Tesla drivers or Tesla cars,” Dinwiddie said. “This is absolutely against Musk. … He has no business interfering with [and] destroying the government."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_3495-e1745182746117-1046x1200.jpeg)

According to June Tau, junior and performer, the assembly was a great opportunity to experience other cultures and backgrounds. "It [assembly] brings awareness to respect everyone's other cultures," Tau said. "I liked how we were able to see not only ours today, but other countries as well. It was nice to see that everyone comes from different things and to also respect their background."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_8058-2-1200x800.jpg)

![Palo Alto community members enjoy dinner provided by local restaurants on March 8 at the Lucie Stern Community Center as part of the city's Ifar dinner event. According to Shounak Dharap, vice president of the Palo Alto Unified School District board, events that gather the community allow for interactions that wouldn't occur normally. "They [community events] let us reach out and talk to other folks we might not normally interact with, or who we might interact with in very different ways," Dharap said. "It allows folks to see their elected representatives in a different light, in a way that is more community building and less just in their governance roles."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_3254-1-1-1200x1070.jpg)
