IG for the @hsanyc Dance Department |@yagp Finalist &🥉Place NY Semi Final Junior Classical Winner 25 & 26 ⭐️

Still on high from an amazing New York premiere and company debut for Sekou McMiller & Friends at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center @lincolncenter , performing “Urban Love Suite”. World premiered at @jacobspillow

The energy, life and mastery on that stage was nothing less than electric. Combined with the enthusiasm of the audience, It was a perfect example of joyous collective effervescence. We should all be incredibly proud. We left it all on the stage, but we definitely have more to share in the future.

I have an immense amount of gratitude for everyone who came out and joined us in the theater for a SOLD OUT show!. Your presences and energy was felt and gave us life!!!!! Thank you for such a warm welcoming!!! We couldn’t have ask for anything more! And your kind words and reception afterwards were breathtaking as well as life affirming.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible team of musicians, dancers, production and company management for breathing new life into this project! Every single one of you brought something special and necessary to the table. Thank you for your patience, trust in me, yourselves and the process.

Special thanks to my music director @sebastian.natal, rehearsal director @desireegodsell, lighting designer, @kateashtonlighting, sound engineer @wystanton, production stage manager @madisonjoyellis, dramaturg @jazzydramaturg, company manager @selena_maixe and my amazing cousin @mzmorris for stepping in while my company manager is on maternity leave!! They say it takes a village. It sure does. None of this could have happen without you all!!!!

To the entire team from Lincoln Center from leadership, production, hospitality to accessibility you were beyond a pleasure to work with. We all felt very well taken care of and safe to be our best selves while expressing our art!!! Special thanks on the LCT team @meiyinwang, @shantourage @donbo615 #rebeccapopp @liamtorchiamusic and the wonderful @elicrenshawsmith.

$During the 2025-2026 school year, you made HSA a place where young artists discover what they are capable of. The impact of our programs speak for themselves: ▶️ 17 graduating pre-professional students are all headed to top-notch universities with over $750K+ in total scholarships awarded across the class. ▶️ 14 school and community outreach programs, and 39 partnerships with community centers and arts organizations with names you might recognize (Guggenheim, Madison Square Garden and the Museum of the City of New York, to name a few) ▶️ And most importantly: 2,000+ students served But the playing field for young artists in New York City isn’t level. Serious training in even one discipline at a comparable institution runs $3,000–$8,000 a year. At HSA, we offer the highest caliber of training at a fraction of the price. This past school year, we distributed $603,500 in scholarships across our pre-professional training program last year, making world-class, conservatory-style arts training completely free for the students who need it most, plus $62,610 in financial aid and merit scholarships to our general enrollment students, ensuring every young artist has a real shot. As we approach the close of our fiscal year on June 30, we are working to raise $75,000 to sustain and expand the transformative arts education experiences that HSA provides to young people across Harlem and New York City. Please consider making a donation—$25, $50, $100, whatever you can give— to help us reach that goal.
