Many of Ms. Joan’s former students and their dance companies will perform and we will update you soon with the details!
Ms. Joan Miller was a founder of Southern Dance Theatre and if it were not for her support, our school would not exist.

If you know any of these students, we’d appreciate if you can spread the word so we can reach as many people who were both directly and indirectly influenced by this amazing woman worldwide.
