Daily activities will take place Monday, May 3 through Saturday, May 8 as part of “Event Week Celebration.” The activities will range from online dance lessons to family activities, panel discussions and car parades. The celebration is an opportunity for students to engage with NDI New Mexico instructors, school teachers and each other. The goal is to give students the ability to enjoy the “pride and support” they receive from audiences when they perform live at annual galas in Albuquerque and Santa Fe as well as performances around the state.
