Choreographers Behind the Magic
This special initiative is brought to life in collaboration with Kris Lythgoe, producer of So You Think You Can Dance and Foothill Family Board Member. Our workshops feature top choreographers who have worked with some of the biggest names in music, inspiring students through the joy of movement.
“The creative outlet that was provided by Foothill
Family was the Dance Workshop. I think that does
really give them this other way to express maybe
what they’re feeling. This traumatic event that has
bonded our community, the Dance Workshop was an
event that bonded them in the sense of joy..”
— Maricela Brambila, Principal, Willard Elementary
