MiniFest 2026: CONVERGENCE was full of incredible moments, and our student demonstrations were truly a highlight! We are so proud of the hard work, dedication, and passion our students brought to the stage.

They shined brightly and reminded us why this work matters: educating future generations and passing along the knowledge, tradition, and joy of dance.
