Chita Rivera Awards

Choreographed by Jason Luks, the 75 young dancers performed a full spectrum of dance styles in a piece aptly titled "Just Getting Started" … who knows what the future holds for these bright young performers, all working hard to keep dance alive, vibrant and indeed colorful." (Broadway World Review). Watch the video => Just Getting Started.
