Last night we celebrated the finale of the 2020 Online New York Dance Festival, and had a look back on 30 Years of commitment to real lives and the people who shared them with us.

For three decades we have offered this gala concert to share lessons of good mental health, Emotional and Personality Development, and simply communicate.
