AF’s 1st Annual Dance Festival was an unforgettable night of joy, talent, and community! Ten of our New York schools recently came together for our very first Dance Showcase. The energy was electric, the performances were breathtaking, and the love and pride from the audience were palpable. A huge shout-out to our incredible dance teachers for your creativity, passion, and dedication to seeing our students shine. Congratulations to all of the student performers for an incredible show!

The spotlight was shining bright on our AF Hartford ES and MS scholars! Our students brought the magic of Annie to life with talent, teamwork, and heart, and we couldn’t be prouder! From the vibrant set design and creative costumes to the powerful acting and vocals, these young stars captivated the audience and stole the show. A huge shoutout to our incredible teachers, staff, families, and behind-the-scenes crew who made this performance a success!
