HIGHLIGHT OF OUR 2023-24 SESSIONS: MOVE ON!, a Dance Alliance outreach dance program for neurodiverse teens and adults, in collaboration with the SPAC School of the Arts, participated in a SHARE at the SPA Little Theater on 12/21. The SHARE was a culmination of SOTA’s Fall session of participatory classes including dance, music, and theater participants.
Prior to the dance to music by Dan Deacon and inspired by NYCB Resident
Choreographer Justin Peck’s The Times Are Racing, Peck shared motivational words
with the dancers via video.
