Dance/10 celebrated its 40th Anniversary with a dance concert featuring performances from our company groups as well as vocal performances. We had a sold out audience cheering and celebrating with us. Throughout the evening the audience was given tidbits of historical information about Dance/10 and its growth and evolution over the past 40 years.
The rookies for the 2023-2024 season were acknowledged: Neriah, Malia, Jersey, Audrey, Yessenia, Demi, Charlotte, Deb, Rosie, Kelly, Gina, Jenny, Jen, Florence, Cindy, Kelli!
Scholarships were also awarded to applicants and nominees. Dance/10 Dancers, Inc., the non-profit that provides the scholarships, began in 1997. Since beginning it has awarded approximately $75,000 in scholarships. Full listing at the bottom of this post.
After the show a meet-and-greet reception and silent auction took place. Audience and performers mingled and celebrated 40 years with their commemorative champagne flutes in hand.
A celebratory dinner at Cafe Jolie concluded with a lively auction facilitated by Ryan Justus.
This event serves as a major fundraiser for Dance/10 Dancers, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization promoting dance education. If you are interested in donating to the organization you may do so on their website.
