As high school students try desperately to make it through an isolated and dire year, the Dance Department of AAP found solace in each other’s company and formed a community of artists who rose to the challenge by creating art that made us go farther and work harder. As we reflect on this year’s accomplishments and resilience, with the challenges that the pandemic brought to all of our lives, we managed to build a lovely community of artists, who at times with outstretched fingers touched the sky.
