SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Performing Arts Center launched its public school dance residency in the Ballston Spa Central School District with 70 students from Malta Avenue Elementary School on Feb. 8.
The students performed to music recorded by Janet Jackson, Boyz II Men, NSYNC, Jennifer Lopez, and others in a presentation called “Dial up the 90s.”
For 10 weeks, the entire 5th grade at Malta Avenue Elementary School participated in lessons held once a week, led by highly-trained SPAC teaching artists Michael Zygo, Frankie Soldevere, Jen Manino-Larrea and with musicians Brian Melick and Elizabeth Woodbury Kasius.
The program is part of SPAC’s commitment to youth arts education.
