Annual Appeal
What we accomplish with our small devoted staff, faculty, board and a growing community of dedicated students, parents, supporters and audience is stunning. As we continue to grow our youth and adult education programs, we have even more planned for this season by presenting a number of premiere concert performances.
Thank you in advance for contributing at the highest level you can, so that we can continue to spread the many joys and benefits of our American musical dance form together!
