WORKSHOPS
Workshops provide young people with opportunities to express themselves and perhaps find their passion in the performing arts.
“The Art of Dance uses movement to communicate meaning about the human experience. It is far more than exercise or entertainment. It is a powerful medium to express our values, our thought about the lives we live and the world in which we live.”
National Dance Education Organization
Workshop support provided by Washington Forrest Foundation.

PERFORMANCES FOR CHILDREN
The Mouse of Amherst, adapted from the book by Elizabeth Spires reveals an unlikely friendship that develops between reclusive poet Emily Dickinson and a lively mouse. Perfect for April poetry month..or anytime in between. This performance has been selected by Arlington County Humanities Project for 2011-12.
“this was a wonderful, imaginative show. I took 4 year old and 7 year old girls. They sat with rapt attention for the entire show! Excellent, imaginative choreography and very clever visual presentation and music. We look forward to the next show.” R. Interdonato
