Congratulations to everyone who performed at this year’s Dance Day celebration! This was the biggest showcase yet, with pieces spanning a huge gamut of styles, from Bollywood to Ballet. Every single number was phenomenal and we had so much interest in the show that we could barely fit everyone in to watch! (Speaking of which – we clearly need a bigger stage for next year, so if you’ve got a connection to a space that would host a nonprofit event, we’d love to hear about it.)

In case you didn’t get ahold of a program insert listing all the pieces, we’re copying that information here along with some fabulous photos. You can also find video clips of all the performances here.
