Join us September 17 for our Spotlight Soiree Gala, followed by our free Open House and Community Celebration on September 19, when we welcome our community into the Center for Dance for a day of dance, creativity, and celebration.

This summer, the Evelyn Ebo Bootcamp Intensive took place in our new Center for Dance. With a renovated School wing and the Dance Innovation Lab, the program was able to significantly grow in size from the previous year—creating even more space for young dancers to learn, grow, and thrive.

Witnessing the culmination of these students’ hard work reminds us why access to high-quality dance education matters, and what’s possible when we have the space to make it happen.

Thank you to Trustee Evelyn Ebo for pouring into this program and helping make these opportunities possible.

We’re excited to celebrate all that our new Center for Dance makes possible with you at our Grand Opening Celebration. Join us September 19 for our FREE Open House and Community Celebration!
