What is
The Cru?

A council of teens meets weekly from October to May to produce a Spring Break dance event, wrap it up, and learn important life and employment skills in the process.

The Cru learns leadership skills through physical activity and teamwork. You explore career options in performing arts with industry professionals; lighting, sound, event planning, marketing, public speaking and performance. Earn While You Learn!

  • School & volunteer credit hours
  • An honorarium for your time
  • Job & school references
  • Development of valuable resume skills

What is the
Spring Break Workshop?

During the week of spring break, the workshop participants work directly with multiple acclaimed artists to explore and create within a limitless, welcoming space to bring out the best in each and every youth that attends.

Participants are mentored in a variety of music, dance, & cultural sharing enrichment activities – will you be joining us?

What is the
Culminating Performance?

After a week of super fun learning, sharing, writing, dancing, practicing, rocking and awesomeness, the artists and participants all perform side by side. Together, workshop participants put on a combination of group & solo pieces created during spring break, culminating in a rousing night full of spirit, heart, talent, and awesome performances!
