Performers as young as 3 through adults will be gracing the stage and showing off their skills in dance genres like Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Lyrical, Musical Theatre, and even Vocal Technique.  Artistic Director Ali Drummond hopes that this concert is a reminder that every person is feeling something different, all the time.
