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
