HENRY STREET SETTLEMENTBEST OF LES DANCE SHOWCASE

Dance Showcase is a collaborative
Danielle Chiorazzi
effort between three Lower East Side-

Movement, Henry Street Settlement,
Live Dance Love Juniors and the Abrons Arts Center. We are
thrilled that the Best of LES, now in its

provide a platform for the dancers in our

Santiago showcase their talent. The Best of LES is a
celebration of diversity, culture, creativity,
Rajé Reborn and community, and we hope to continue
this celebration for years to come. We

Bria was born & raised in the Lower East Side into a close knit, proud Latino family. She was a loving
daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and a true friend. An intelligent, strong, and loving young lady. A dancer,
athlete, and fashionista. But most importantly a leader. We honor her for her energy exceeds this
earth. We still feel her, we still hear her laughter, and we will infinitely love her.
