A tremendous thank you to dancer participants, students, advisors and donors of these incredible K-12 schools (along with their supporting university’s students and advisors) who have been dedicating their time and resources for the benefit of local kids, especially in times of extraordinary uncertainty. Your adaptability and innovation are both invaluable to your program’s success!
