"This is my dance space.... This is your dance space''
Johnny Thistle in Dirty Dancing says it all.

Remember? "There are no small parts, only small actors?"

Similarly,
- There are no onlookers, only participants.
- Be present in the moment and enjoy and ponder.
- That is your critical role as the audience.

NSPA brings its first dance and drama festival to a city that has helped it grow in the past two decades. It has helped more than 300 dancers learn classical dance, share our heritage with millions in BLINK, and open its doors to choreographers, theater and music lovers across genres to help celebrate our heritage, our art, and our contribution to this melting pot that we now call our home.

What should you expect?

• A vibrant gathering where creativity meets community, fostering open dialogue, sharing heroes long forgotten or redefined, and seeing social issues through the lens of the arts.

• A multidisciplinary event that brings together artists, activists, educators, and community members to explore how storytelling, performance, visual arts, and music can spark meaningful dialogue and learning.
