Dancing Through Words of Youth

Dancing Through Words of Youth
a project by Valentina Mena Quinonez

Free | RSVP Here

Presenting April 17th at the Bandshell, Miami Beach Senior High's dance troupe has partnered with the Quill & Scroll Society to present choreography inspired by poems generated during a writing intensive. The performance and written pieces explore identity & place, borrowing a well-loved prompt drawn from Najja Moon’s project, Portrait at 34.

This project was led by Valentina Mena, in collaboration with Heather S. Mirmelli (President of the Quill and Scroll Honor Society) & Ella Garcia (Co-President of the National Dance Honor Society).
