A Letter from the Director of the Steps Youth Program Dear Friends and Family of Steps Youth Programs, Welcome to Steps Youth Program’s Winter Performance 2022! The last time I wrote a program note was December of 2019, prior to the start of the pandemic. It is hard to believe it has been over two years since we have been in a theater. I am so impressed by all of our dancers, as their hard work and tenacity has brought them to this glorious moment. Our Pre-Professional and Academy students spend hours at the studio, perfecting their technique and performance quality. Our program is like no other, as it emphasizes excellence in a diverse range of dance styles. This performance is the culmination of the months of hard work and dedication amongst our students, buoyed by our fabulous faculty and staff. We are very proud of our community, and very grateful for the support from our families which has brought us through these past two years. We are excited to STEP into the bright future of our program and our dancers! Enjoy the performance! Pam Levy Director of Youth Programs Steps on Broadway
