We’re excited to announce the Dancer’s Edge Company and Southern Dance Theatre will participate in the upcoming “A Love Affair” benefit hosted by The Dancer’s Alchemy. This year’s performance is in tribute of Joan Miller and proceeds will provide for her medical needs and care as she battles Alzheimer’s Disease and will be held February 27, 2016 at 7pm – Countess de Hoernle Theatre – Boca Raton. 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.
We’re hoping to reach former students of the legendary Ms. Joan Miller to let them know of this upcoming performance which honors her. 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.
The Dancer’s Edge Company offers students a unique opportunity to gain exceptional experience throughout the school year in: auditions, performances, and community services. Learn more about this organization and how you and your dancer can be a part of it this season.

Presented by The Dancer’s Alchemy, The 13th Annual “A Love Affair” Benefit raises funds for arts scholarships for South Florida children with Down Syndrome.
In recent years, our Special Arts Ensemble has performed during the opening ceremony for the Gold Coast Down Syndrome Association’s Annual “Buddy Walk”. This event raises funds for the organization’s educational, social, and advocacy programs in Palm Beach County and promotes awareness of the capabilities and talents of persons with Down Syndrome.
We’ve decided to take our school’s involvement in this year’s 20th Annual Buddy Walk to the next level in order to make more of an impact.
We are opening the opportunity up to the entire school to get involved with our team, called Dance Buddies STEP UP, either by walking during the event or by making donations. The Dancer’s Edge Company will participate and walk in honor of our Special Arts Ensemble and Dance Movement Students.
This is a great opportunity for adults and children of all ages to get involved in a very important cause, one that is very dear to our hearts here at Southern Dance Theatre.
We are hoping Team Dance Buddies – STEP UP will make a great impact!
