PS 16: Cornelia F Bradford School Enrichment Program
After School Bollywood Dance
Thursdays in Winter/Spring 2024
SDA has been a part of the after school curiculum at the PS16 school since March 2013. Our students have performed at numerous local events and at our bi-annual recitals in Jersey City. Our semi annual Recitals give our students an opportunity to showcase their hard work and talent as well as giving them the confidence and exposure to hold their own in front of huge audiences. Our students learn a 2- 2.5 minute costumed choreography and will be given the opportunity to perform at the SDA’s Spring Showcase (Tentatively Scheduled for May 18th)
