OCSA Ballroom Dance Conservatory

Behind the scenes look at OCSA seniors prepping for their performance at graduation! #classof2021

Here is an amazing project we are so proud of. Our Senior 2 level, under the direction of Kris and Briana Suakjian, put together this touching piece all through... distance learning. This tribute is for the caregivers and patients of St. Joseph Hospital. Please enjoy from OCSA Ballroom Dance Conservatory. Choreography: Kris Suakjian & Briana Suakjian Video editing: Brittney Porch

Words cannot express the warmth and love I felt from every single student who participated in this truly inspirational project. The school year has finally come... to a close, and Kris and I decided that we wanted to give back to all of the healthcare workers who risk their lives daily. This video was made for those special people at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Orange, CA. These high school kids in our ballroom conservatory @ocsaballroom lifted our spirits in this difficult time by giving back and sharing their love of dance with the world. We are so honored to be apart of this amazing group of kids and school! Thank you to everyone involved in making this project such a touching piece of art Video editing credits: Brittney Porch #stjoseph #tribute #ocsaballroom #weareocsa #love #danceheals #dance #pandemic #healthcareheroes #healthcareworkers #inspiration #danceathome See more
