Checking in on the Summer Academy’s dance class

We took the opportunity to pop in on the APS/Woodruff Arts Center’s Summer Academy for the Arts and Sciences on Wednesday. We paid a visit to dance class being taught by Garden Hills Elementary‘s Audrey Waters (who’s subbing for Rhonda Price of Carver’s School of the Arts). Save the date and time (July 2, 1:30 p.m.) for the final performances from all of the disciplines being taught at the Summer Academy: chorus, dance, music and theater. The location is TBA.
