If you were to ask any audience member at this year’s AileyCamp finale, they would almost certainly be able to make a strong connection from the performance to a dream. Flowing from jazz to ballet to hip hop to West African and more, each presentation mapped out a story through dance.
The night's production, “Blueprint of a Dream,” marked the 26th anniversary of AileyCamp in New York City. Children’s Aid is a primary partner of AileyCamp. This treasured relationship has brightened the lives of more than 2,000 young people from our agency, all who have had the opportunity to showcase their talent and creativity through dance while also strengthening their well-being and self-esteem.
Family members and friends, and staff members of Children’s Aid and AileyCamp, filled the auditorium and witnessed the power of AileyCamp at Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture in the Bronx this past Thursday evening. The joy and excitement was infectious.
These young people had just six weeks to lay the ground work—some might even say the blueprint—to create this extraordinary show. Together, they built something beautiful.
