YOUTH DANCE ENSEMBLE
Spring Benefit Concert
The YDE Spring Benefit Concert is a favorite among YDE dancers and audience members. It exposes our dancers to a diversity of music and styles of choreography, and provides our choreographers the opportunity to exert their creativity and express their point of view artistically. Moreover, it teaches the dancers to use their art to give back to the community which supports them. Each year, the dancers select an organization to which all proceeds of the show are donated. We are proud to stage an original production annually.
