After two years without performances due to the pandemic, students at WAMS returned to the Palace Theater stage for a dance showcase. Students in grades 6 through 12 performed original dance routines in front of family, friends, and some young students from Waterbury Public Schools. Dan Ferreira, the Department Chair of the Fine Arts at WAMS, explained what the show is about and how important the arts are to so many students.
