Happy Mother’s Day!
To all our moms backstage, who have (at one point or another) saved the whole show while simultaneously tying our tap shoes—and to our Company moms, dancing front and center:
We love and appreciate you so much.
Our Company dancers are currently scattered across the globe but put together a home-made treat! Because, even when we can’t get together, we can still find ways to dance together. Watch our video, Hangman’s Reel: At Home Edition
Happy May Day!
