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!
Check out one of the amazing performances, Apollo MS’s “Popular” from Wicked!
