Smart moves after-school

Developed in 2006, this group was created to continue fostering the talents and desires of highly motivated students from our in-school program. Participants who show an increased interest and ability will be invited to attend the after-school program. All dancers who participate in this advanced training do so at no cost. The After-School program meets immediately after school at our partner school locations one day per week for 30 weeks during the school year.  Smart Moves After-School dancers performs  at the Festival of the Arts, as well as two annual performances open to the public.

TEAM IMPACT
