Our dedicated, hard working Performance Teams surprised local party goers at a swanky villa on the North Shore in February.
Stargazer Villa hosted an evening of music and dance on behalf of TCFAF (Turks & Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation.)
Among the guests were American Choreography Award Winner David Parsons of world renowned ‘David Parsons Dance Company,’ who was “very impressed.”
We were overflowing with pride to see how much all five performance teams have improved since forming in October. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be a part of a performance team; birthday parties, play dates and community events are sacrificed to fulfill the attendance requirements and classes are different to the rest of our weekly schedule; there is less emphasis on fun and inclusion with a focus on goals, effort and accomplishment.
