2024 Summer Showcase

How thrilling to see the successful culmination of an unforgettable summer with a spectacular show! La Casita’s participants in the STEM from Dance workshops displayed their immense talent and hard work in a fantastic SUMMER SHOWCASE last week. With an audience of over 100 family members, friends, and community supporters, these talented girls presented their own dance choreographies, set to their original music compositions created in the “Beats by Code” summer workshops, the STEM portion of our program. These young artists not only composed their own music but also choreographed stunning dances to accompany it. Their creativity, dedication, and passion were truly inspiring, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported our young performers. Your encouragement means the world to them and to us. Stay tuned for more amazing programs and events from La Casita this fall!
