We are so grateful to be getting a grant from CityArts this year! We have been very fortunate to have the City of Chicago and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events supporting the performing arts and arts education! #YearofChicagoDance

Imagination spent yesterday with Maple School in Northbrook. Our two casts performed Making Healthy Choices for 8th grade students. Making Healthy Choices: From nutrition to exercise to substance abuse prevention, Making Healthy Choices promotes safe and informed judgements.

We had a lovely three show day at Eberhart Elementary School. We performed No Secrets for 3rd through 8th grade students. And a VERY special shout out to our ensemble member Annalise for their first live No Secrets performance. Well done, Annalise! ⭐️
