Moving Youth Dance Company selected to perform in New York on Broadway at the Arts for Autism Concert to benefit Autism Speak

Moving Youth Dance Company will pack their bags and head to the Big Apple this June to participate in the first annual Arts for Autism Benefit Concert. After auditioning, they are one of six student groups from North American chosen to perform alongside Broadway performers during the concert. Concert producer and artistic director, Jacque Carnahan, says, “We are thrilled to have Moving Youth Dance Company’s talented performers participate in the event.” The concert will take place at the Gershwin Theatre, home to the popular show, Wicked. The concert will take place on a Monday when Wicked does not have a performance. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest Autism awareness and outreach organization. The one-night only concert will include songs from some of Broadway’s most famous shows chosen to inspire feelings of tolerance, understanding, kindness and compassion. Broadway Choreographer and Tony Award winner, Chris Gattelli says, “What an incredible opportunity for such an incredible cause. It’s this amazing win-win that you have performers from all over the country at that age getting to perform on a Broadway stage, which is so many people’s dream. It’s important on all levels.” Tony Award Winner, Kelli O’Hara will host the show and will be joined on stage by many other Broadway performers for this one-night only event. The concert is being produced by Believe NYC and Educational Travel Adventures. These organizations educate and enrich the lives of young people.
