Sharron Miller’s Academy for the Performing Arts (SMAPA) invites you to its annual Dance Concert on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 3:00 PM!
A Showcase of Talent
Join us to see performances from SMAPA's talented Performance Workshop Ensemble (PWE) and other select student classes.
This year's concert will feature new choreographed pieces including alum & former Alvin Ailey principal dancer Chalvar Monteiro's Lest We Forget and beloved favorites, including Sharron Miller's Praise.
Our concert showcase emphasizes the incredible dedication and artistry of the PWE dancers, who all receive full tuition scholarships for their dance training at SMAPA.
We're also happy to share the talented efforts of students enjoying dance as a means of movement, rhythm, and expression, such as the passionate adult ballet group.
