Masterwork Academy students present community showcase

In May, Masterwork Academy hosted their first ever showcase event for the community. 

Vibrant student artwork covered the walls while proud students ushered parents and church members around the art gallery saying, “Come see what I made!” More than 80 pieces of art hung on display and not a single person left the gallery without a smile on their face. 

Transitioning to the ballet studio, students joyfully performed musical numbers, fitness routines and dances for a live audience. The children’s chorus loudly sang “praise him, praise him,” filling the entire room with delight. And their demonstrations of pushup and high kicks inspired everyone in the audience to get their heart rates moving. Some of the students performed a classical ballet while other kids demonstrated their skillful barre routines. 

The event concluded with an upbeat hip hop dance and a standing ovation from the audience.
