    We are thrilled to have the SPAC Dance Residency program back at Malta Avenue this year working with our 5th grade students.!The SPAC Dance Residency program is a fully immersive arts education program that provides our students with the chance to experience the life-enhancing benefits that accompany participation in the art of dance. Two highly-trained SPAC teaching artists and a SPAC musician will visit Malta Ave on Fridays and will teach ten dance classes to every student participating in the program. The final evening performance for families is on 2/8/24. We are beyond excited to have this amazing program return to our school!
