Why “Plan A”?
As a dancer from a small town, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to dream big. Throughout high school, I was often told I needed a “back-up plan” in case my dance career didn’t pan out. Though disheartening, I refused to let those doubts stop me, because I’ve never had a “Plan B.”
At Plan A, we’re passionate about supporting the arts in small communities like Bridgewater and Liverpool. Our mission is to empower our youth, encouraging them to follow their dreams and pursue what they love. You don’t need to travel to the city to chase your passion—at Plan A, you can find the opportunity to dance right here at home.
“Don’t dream it… Plan it.”
Join us for their year end recital “The Finale” at 4:30 pm and 6: 30 pm
