Miss Emily, Miss Lexi and Mr. Oszoy will be training our dancers in the ballet program this season and the schedule will reflect these changes.

The event will be a narrated dance program with photo and video aids themed around the idea of solving the homeless problem by making a difference to one homeless individual (one starfish) at a time.
As many of you know, Ashton Benn is a senior and has been with KJ Dance in our PULSE Company for 8 years. She has a passion for bringing awareness to the issue of homelessness in the Dallas community. Ashton has decided to combine her passion for the issue of homelessness together with her passion for dance to create a unique dance concert called “Starfish Dallas Dance Concert – Homeless Awareness” with the mission of raising awareness for homelessness and encouraging community involvement.
Starfish Dallas is sponsored by AT&T, the Thompson Knight & Foundation and The Catholic Foundation and proceeds from the concert will benefit Our Friends Place and St. Jude Center – Senior Housing for the Homeless.
The concert will take place at the Moody Performance Hall on September 18, 2019 at 7:00 pm.
